Caution
The macros set in memory should be saved before downloading. If the set is
not saved, all changes will be lost.
Download should be used only after all the keypad keys have been programmed and
saved to a *.pkm file. Selecting Download prior to saving changes will result in a loss
of all keypad macro programming.
When you select Download, the program creates a download file called
download.dld
and loads the keypad controller’s non-volatile memory with the new macros, which
become the new key definitions for the keypad. After the download is complete, the
system will prompt the user to cycle power.

Utility Batch Mode
The Utility Batch Mode can be used to reprogram keypads on multiple units with the
same customized keypad macros. This feature is useful because it allows you to do
the reprogramming without having to enter the full keypad utility for each individual
unit. After you have programmed the first keypad macros, you will need to create a
DOS-bootable diskette to run the Utility Batch Mode.
You will need to extract files from the Documentation and Support Library CD-ROM
to for the diskette. The necessary files can be found in the folder,
DRIVERS\Keypad Software\Keypad Utility 1.1 142606-001
Save the following files from the CD-ROM to the root directory on your DOS-
bootable diskette:
••••
H8flash.exe
••••
KP3util.exe
••••
H8fload.mot
••••
*.pkm
••••
codes.pkm

symbols.pkm
