MK1200
Configuration Utility
window:
•
Select a parameter, then select
Edit >Restore Default
to restore the current field to its default.

Select

to restore all parameter default settings.
Save the changes.
Data Entry Formats
The RDM uses standard data entry formats, depending on the data type:
•
Check Box: Used for true or false values. An "X" in the check box selects the function. Tap the box to check
or uncheck.
•
Text Data Entry Box: Requires text entry. Examples are IP address, domain name, or server name.
•
Numeric Data Entry Box: Requires numeric entries, in hexadecimal (base 16) or decimal (base 10) notation.
Hex values must be preceded by "0x".
•
Drop-down List: Select a single option. The stored parameter value may be different than the text displayed.
•
Bit Fields: Multiple items with check boxes. If desired, select multiple items (from none to all). Each selected
item affects the value stored, which is a single number, so the selections will not match the mkconfig.reg file.
•
Multiple Text: Enter multiple free-form strings. Click Enter on the keyboard to create a new string. Multiple
text values are not represented in the mkconfig.reg file as text, so the value entered is not recognizable in the
mkconfig.reg file.
•
External-type: For each different external type, an associated DLL manipulates what is stored in the Registry
(mkconfig.reg) and how it is displayed in the Configuration Utility/System Menu.
The Configuration Utility/System Menu loads the relevant DLL when an External-type is found in the
metadata file for the particular Registry type. The DLL should have two standard methods: input and output.
When a registry entry of External- type is stored, the text in the text box is passed to the output method of the
DLL which translates the data accordingly and writes it to the Registry file. When retrieving a Registry entry,
the DLL invokes the input method and translates the data back to a valid form. It is displayed in the
Configuration Utility /System Menu.
All validation for the value entered is done through the DLL. No validation is done through the Configuration
Utility/System Menu. This method is used in encrypting and decrypting WEP keys.
