Programming the Keyboard

1.Connecting the Keyboard

For PS/2 versions: Connect the LK1800 to the PC with the special interface cable provided. Plug the standard PC keyboard to the female PS/2 connector on the interface cable and the male PS/2 connector to the computer.

For USB versions: Connect the LK1800 to any USB port on the computer.

2.Starting the Utility

Start the Programming Utility by double clicking on the “KBWN” short-cut icon or by going to Start→Programs→Logic Controls Utilities→LKWN (Folder)→LKWN. You may also double click the LKWN.EXE icon in the folder where the utility is installed.

3.Select the Communication Port

Select the appropriate communication port by selecting either “USB” or “PS/2” in the drop down menu.

4.Select your keyboard model

Depending on what model keyboard you have select from the Keyboard menu the LK8000, LK1600 or LK1800.

5.Preparing the Template

A new template can be prepared by entering new contents for each key position. Alternatively, an old template can be brought into the utility for editing. (LOAD from a

.TPL file, IMPORT from a .TXT file, or READ from the Keyboard). Modify properties of the keyboard in the Properties dialog if necessary. For the LK1800M or LK1800MU with the optional integrated magnetic stripe reader both keyboard and MSR programming data will be saved into a single template file.

6.Writing into the Keyboard

It is strongly advised that the template should be first saved into a .TPL template file for future reference and for programming multiple keyboards. Then, click Configuration→Write into KB on the Menu bar or click on the “Down Arrow” icon on the toolbar to write the template into the keyboard.
