NOTE: Before making any connections it is always advisable to turn off the computer.

A. Connecting the LK1800 to a PC keyboard port:

1. Use the computer interface cable. Plug the PS/2 Male connectors for the keyboard and
mouse into the computer. Connect the RJ11 connector into the “To Computer”
connector on the LK1800. (For LK1800U and LK1800MU models connect the USB Type

A connector to the computer and then the RJ45 into the “To Computer” connector on the
LK1800U.)

2. You may connect your original standard keyboard to the “To Peripheral” connector on
the LK1800. This port can also be used for peripherals that use a PS/2 interface.

FUNCTIONAL TEST

For testing purposes, your LK1800 keyboard was pre-programmed with a key definition
template called LK1800-L1.tpl. The following simple steps will verify that the keyboard is in good
working condition:

1. Follow the Hardware Connections directions on page 6 in this manual to connect the
LK1800 to your computer.

2. Turn on the computer.

3. Under Windows, open Notepad or any text editing software. Press keys on the keyboard

one by one to verify that programmed key definitions are activated. For keyboards with
MSR models, swipe a magnetic stripe card across the MSR. Card data should be read
out onto the display.
