Rhino II Configuration
20 Rhino™ II
• Frontkey_S1=#EXT=VK_UP
• Frontkey_S2=#EXT=VK_DOWN
• Frontkey_S3=#EXT=VK_ESCAPE
• Frontkey_S4=#EXT=VK_RETURN
• Frontkey_KEY=
The S1-S4 keys can also be used to launch executables. Just give the
fully qualified name after the equal sign. For example:
Frontkey_S1=\Windows\pword.exe
will launch the WordPad program when the 1 key is pressed.
The Rhino II also provides the ability to lock the individual front panel
keys. There are two keywords to control the state of the keys when
the function mode is off (HWKeyLockFNOff) and when the function
mode is on (HWKeyLockFNOn). Each of the keywords is an 8 bit
mask, using one bit each to control the individual keys. Bits 0-7 are:
• PWR (1)
• BL (2)
• + (8)
• - (16)
• S1 (32)
• S2 (64)
• FN (128)
• KEY (256)
Setting the specific bit to a 1 will lock the respective key. For
example, setting HWKeyLockFNOff=66 would disable the BL (2) and
S2 (64) buttons when the function mode is not set. Setting
HWKeyLockFNOn=256 would disable the KEY (256) button when the
function mode is set.
