Remarks on program function

The data for the keyboard of type Generic Ps2 device can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed.

The interface and linkage to a process unit must be defined and the device-specific operation mode set.

Note:
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows for configuration of 3 different generic input devices; two for connection to the PS2 interface and one for connection to the COM interface.

· PS2 keyboard ( -> PS2 interface)

· Generic PS2 device ( -> PS2 interface)

· Dallas key lock (Aures Elios hardware)

· Generic COM device ( -> COM interface)

The Documentation Configuration generic keyboards and input devices provides information and configuration examples for these devices.
