III. INSTALLATION A. CABLE CONNECTION Take the cable CCBLA-055-2 out of the accessory bag and connect the 6 pin DIN male plug of the cable to the central 6 pin female connector at the bottom of the programmable keyboard (ref. Fig. 3-1), connect the other end (5 pin DIN male plug) to the PC or a compatible system.
B. KEYTOP LAYOUT The basic layout of this programmable keyboard is a matrix with 8 rows and 14 columns to provide maximum 112 keys with the 6 position control key. However, there are means for the user to break the monotony and to improve the efficiency in application of this programmable keyboard.
Furthermore, there are blank keys available which the user can use to form visible partitions or clusters of key tops on the programmable keyboard. When the user wants to make a group of keys on the programmable keyboard clearly separated from the rest part of the keyboard for certain specific application, he/she can use the blank keys to replace the normal individual keys around the area. The top surface of a blank key is at the ground level of the key stroke for other keys (ref. Fig. 3-7).

This turnable electronic key switch is delivered with a set of 4 pcs keys, each marked as “PRG”, “REG”, “Z” and “GT”. The effective range of each of the 4 keys can be illustrated by the following table and drawing.
B. PRELOADED PATTERN As the KB3100 series satisfies so many application requirements easily, it is naturally impossible to give a definite set of key definitions to serve most of its application. However, this keyboard is preloaded with a particular pattern on the page LP before it is delivered. Please refer to the print-out on next page for the key definition of each location of this preloaded pattern.

C. MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader) The MSR slot is near the upper edge of the Programmable Keyboard. The MSR indicator LED is located at the upper left corner of the block containing the electronic key. There are four choices of the reader types – ISO 1,2 or 2,3 dual tracks, ISO triple tracks and JIS types. For card reading, be sure to insert the card to the bottom with magnetic stripe of ISO card or JIS I track 2 facing downward.

V. PROGRAMMING THE KEYBOARD A. EASINESS IN PROGRAMMING The programmable keyboard series KB3100 is a very powerful programmable keyboard. It can be used under any environment that any PC or PS2 keyboard can be applicable with its immense programmability. However the programming could seem to be a little bit more restrictive yet very convenient. The KB3100 series can be programmed under W indows95, W indows 3.1, and DOS environment through application of the utility diskette attached in the accessory.

ANSWER BACK CODE Programming the answer back codes of the 6 position electronic key-lock is also very easy as they are included in the keyboard programming with the locations coded as “KLP”, “KL0”, “KL1”, “KL2”, “KL3” and “KL4” in the key-layout map of page L1.
2. HOT KEY PROGRAMMING The POSIFLEX programmable keyboard KB3100 series supports the “hot key programming” method which is most useful in instant modification of a few keys in a preprogrammed keyboard without entering the more sophisticated programming utility. Of course, the user may also use this feature to program through out all 112 keys by 5 pages (LP and L1 to L4) at will.
programmed. If the “hot key” is pressed for the second time or the “Esc” key is pressed prior to the press of the key on the programmable keyboard, this mode will be aborted immediately. The user should not enter the “hot key programming” mode when the programmable keyboard is already fully loaded (no more free memory for further programming) by the key contents previously programmed. c.
d. Exit “hot key program m ing” mode After the intended content of the key is completely entered, the user shall press the “hot key” again to notify the end of “hot key programming”. The programmable keyboard will give one beep to signify the normal exit of the “hot key programming” mode.
