Step 1. Install the Software Key
Overview
The Software Key controls access to the Panel Programmer. When the Panel Programmer is
started, the software reads the parallel port on the PC looking for a Software Key before the
main programming window is displayed. If the correct key is not detected, a message box is
displayed noting that there is either a missing or incorrect key and the Panel Programmer will
terminate with no further action.
Installation
Use the following procedure to install the key:
1.
Turn OFF power to your computer.
2.
Remove your printer cable from your parallel port (if installed). Connect the software key
to your parallel port and reconnect your printer cable to the software key. (See Figure
2-1.)
3.
Turn ON power to your computer.
