COPYING KEYBOARD SETUP DATA (CLONING)
Once a keyboard has been programmed, the parameters can be copied from the source
keyboard to other keyboards. This feature saves time and reduces errors when programming
more than one keyboard. It is also useful for remote keyboard setup and when making changes in
key codes. Downloading of keyboard parameters can be done using one of two methods. The
first method is initiated by using the GETSET command (Table 5) issued from the host. This
sends all setup data such as baud rate, key codes and macros to the main port of the keyboard in
command format.
The second method is performed in the local programming mode with the source and target
keyboards connected together. This method can only be used when the main ports are
configured as RS232 type ports. To use this method proceed as follows.
