Shelby,
How do you get FoxPanels to co-exist with actual Annunciator Keyboards?
When I installed FoxPanels on the P92, the Annunciator Keyboard stopped
working. I finally had to re-ghost the P92 to get rid of FoxPanels, and
then the P92 Annunciator Keyboard worked again. In my experience with
these XP boxes, when you load FoxPanels, FoxPanels wants to run in
"software mode", rendering the hardware keyboards useless. There is a
check box for switching from "software panels" to "hardware panels", but
it is checked for software panels and greyed out and you cannot uncheck
it. None of this seems to be an issue with the Unix boxes in my
experience. Those Annunciator Keyboards just work without much hassle.
"I have had times where no amount of editing of the AApan
file accomplished anything, but the configurator created a file that
worked."
That's pretty bad. Someone should probably look into this at Invensys,
considering the AApan file is supposed to be a simple text file. Sorry,
but this is driving me up the wall.

Tim,
You might consider trying the FoxPanels configurator for this
application. I have had times where no amount of editing of the AApan
file accomplished anything, but the configurator created a file that
worked.

Subject: [foxboro] P91 Annunciator Keyboard
Does anybody have a P91 Windows 2003 server with an Annunciator Keyboard
attached to it that you have successfully configured to use the AApan
file to call up displays? I am beating my head against the wall. We
have a P92 that works great, but the P91 right next to it, configured
the same way, just will not call up graphics from the Annunciator
Keyboard keys. The AAtab file works great - the LEDs light up just like
they should - and the System Monitor shows the Keyboard as white, and
you can enter numbers from the number keypad, so I know the keyboard
isn't broken. There must be some trick to get a P91 to work right with
the Annunciator Keyboard, but I don't know what it is. Any help out
there?
