Keypad Installation

The Port Keypad is designed to connect to a standard RS-232 serial
port. To install the keypad, plug the keypad DB9 connector into an
available serial port on the back of your computer. If your computer
has a 25-pin serial port socket, you will have to use a DB9-to-DB25
converter to connect the keypad.

Software Installation

The Port Keypad Manager software is required for the operation of the
keypad. To install the software, insert the diskette in your computer
and click on File, Run (in Windows 3.1x) or Start, Run (in Windows

95). Then type in A:SETUP or B:SETUP, depending on the drive letter
of your floppy disk drive, and click on OK. The setup program will
guide you through the installation.

Once you have successfully completed the software installation, start
the Port Keypad Manager by clicking on its icon, or by double­clicking the UKP.EXE filename in the Windows 3.1x File Manager or
the Windows 95 Explorer.

If the Port Keypad Manager launches in its minimized state, double­click its icon (in Windows 3.1x) or its task bar button (in Windows 95)
to restore the application. It will look like the following illustration:

Configuration

Use the Options menu on the Port Keypad Manager to configure the
keypad.

Configure Hardware

You must specify the COM port to which the Port Keypad is
connected. The keypad does not automatically detect this. Determine
the COM port number of your computer external serial port. Then
select Options, Configure Hardware from the Port Keypad Manager
menu. You will see a dialog box similar to the following:

Select the appropriate COM port number and click on OK. There is no
need to restart Windows. Your keypad should be operational if you
have selected the correct COM port.

Test Mode

You may test your keypad to make sure it is operating properly by
selecting Test Mode from the Options menu. A check mark will appear
next to the Test Mode menu item when this option is selected. When
you are finished testing the keypad, click on the Test Mode menu item
again or press ESC to return the keypad to normal operating mode.
The check mark will disappear when you exit Test Mode.

Save Current Settings

Click on this menu item to save all option settings. Whatever
configuration you have established will become the default
configuration the next time you launch the keypad manager.
