System Access and Operating Modes
To guard against unauthorized use, the KE200 system has two types of access keys:
• A manager key, which allows access to both the Encoding and Maintenance modes
• A maintenance key, which allows access to Maintenance modes only.
The key is inserted into the front of the encoder cabinet. It has three possible positions which
correspond to the system modes:
• Idle
• Maintenance
• Encode/Setup
The key position for each mode is shown in Figure 1-10 . You can access the modes only when
the proper key is inserted and in the correct position.

When a data terminal is in use, the KE200 must be in Idle mode to enable operation of all the
commands. When the KE200 is a standalone, Idle mode has no function other than to display
the current date and time.
Maintenance mode allows you to view and update maintenance information on a key. All
maintenance is performed from the KE200; you cannot perform maintenance from the data
terminal.
Encode/Setup mode allows access to all system setup parameters and encoding fields. The key
must be in this position for you to set up your system from the KE200 or to encode keys from
the KE200.
