System Requirements

The RAC6181 Keypad Configuration Utility is a 32-bit Microsoft
Windows application that runs on the 6181 computer with Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000.

Installing the Keypad Configuration Utility

The Keypad Configuration Utility software is pre-installed on 6181 12.1
inch keypad versions. A backup copy of the application is distributed on
CD-ROM with the 6181 computer. Refer to the readme file on that CD-
ROM for instructions on re-installing the Keypad Configuration Utility.

Configuration Files

The RAC6181 Keypad Configuration Utility recognizes a file with the
extension *.KY3 as a 6181 keypad configuration. Opening a file with
this extension should launch the RAC6181 Keypad Configuration
Utility.

Connecting a Keyboard to the 6181 Computer

To use the Keypad Configuration Utility, connect an IBM® AT®
standard keyboard and mouse with PS/2® connectors to the 6181
computer. For instructions, refer to page 2-16. The external keyboard
connects to the PS/2 port located on the back of the 6181 bezel. The
external mouse connects to the PS/2 port located on the 6181 CPU card.
The PS/2 jumper cable must be installed between the 6181 bezel and the
6181 CPU card. This cable connects the 6181 BIC Card to the CPU
card, so that keypad configuration information can be downloaded into
the BIC Card. This cable also connects the multiplexed 6181 keypad
and external keyboard signals to the CPU card.
