Software Security Key
The software “key” is a small security device that must be attached to your PC’s par-
allel port or USB port to fully enable the Attendant Console software. Without the
key, the software will only work in “demo” mode. The software key does not affect
the functionality of the parallel or USB port itself. Any device that you would nor-
mally connect to the parallel port can also be connected through the software key.
To install the software key, simply shut down Windows, turn off the power switch on
your PC, and attach the appropriate end of the device to the parallel port or USB port
on the back of your PC.
