Running Setup  

 

If the default settings do not fit your application, custom keys 

can be configured.  To configure the Key RF, you must 
connect and use a PS/2 keyboard to the KeyRF Receiver. 

With the computer booted, make sure that you are in a text 
based “shell”.  On a DOS computer, that is the normal 
command prompt.  On a Windows computer, bring up a DOS 
command shell.  For Unix systems, bring up a login or Xterm 
shell.  For MAC Systems, run the SimpleText editor. 

On the PS/2 keyboard (not the laptop keyboard), alternate 
pressing Left-Shift, Right-Shift, Left-Shift, Right Shift, Left-
Shift..., until the following prompt displays: 

   [B] Buttons [D] Default [A] Address [C] Config [Q] Quit 

Now you can enter setup data.First, a quick summary:
