Smart Key connection to the computer
As explained above, the key can be programmed with a computer through the "pco_manager" program.
The functions enabled when the key is used can be set with the "pco_manager" program.
The table below provides a list of the functions that are set up in the key.

The key is purchased in read/write mode (type C) so that it can be used immediately to transfer the software
from one pCO board to another.
The key can be set up with various functions, which contribute to making the best use of it in different
applications.
When the key is plugged into a computer, the arrow symbols take different meanings, as listed in the table.
Flashing
Waiting for connection to the PC
Alternating
Data transfer in progress during connection with the PC
For more in-depth information on key programming, see the documents provided with the "pco_manager"
programme.
Once the required function has been set and the key has been correctly programmed, the key can be used
with the pCO controller.
Prior to connecting the key to the telephone connector, instead of the terminal, power must be cut out to the
board.
When it is switched on again, all the symbols light up briefly and the buzzer sounds. A few minutes are required
before the key is fully operational.
During this time the symbol flashes. At the end of this time, the pCO board enters programming mode and
the start button, which is now lit and steady, can be pressed to start data transfer.
