Therefore, if each page is programmed for different level of authority, each key can be distributed for different level of management using the system.

Instant Content Update

The system integrator may program the keyboard to allow the instant WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) update function in trade-off of highly technical programming capability of the keyboard. The instant content update utilizes the Hot Key programming ability of the programmable keyboard that can be arranged in four steps:

Preparation

Enter “hot key programming ” mode

Input the

content to be

programmed

Exit “hot key programming ” mode

The preparation requires a standard PS/2 keyboard connected to the external keyboard connector of the PST7700 series in the front door area. To enter the Hot Key programming mode, press the left “Alt” key and the “PRT SC” (“Print Screen”) key on the PS-2 keyboard at the same time and press the key on the programmable keyboard to be updated after two beeps from the system. Please then use the PS/2 keyboard to type the content to be programmed for that key. Press both the left “Alt” key and the “PRT SC” (Print Screen) again at the end to exit the Hot Key programming mode. The system gives 1 beep here to notify a successful input, 3 beeps for input failure.

MSR – MAGNETIC STRIPE READER

The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) slot is located at the left side of the Programmable Keyboard if the MSR option is ordered when the PST system is equipped with the standard 112 key programmable keyboard. There are 3 choices of the reader types -- tracks 1+2, or 2+3 or all 3 tracks separately.

For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom with magnetic stripe facing the mark aside the slot. The movement of the card can be either inserting the card from the top surface then sliding the card down out
