Radio Key RKAT Module Option For PC Programming And Audit Trails

THE RKAT MODULE IS an option. It includes the module, Windows software and cable. Needed to enable the audit trail feature. The picture on the left is a screen shot of the software. The picture on the right is of the module that connects to the proximity reader. The RKAT Audit Trail Module for the Radio Key® 600 adds powerful transaction history capability at minimal cost.

By connecting a serial printer, the user can print date and time stamped transactions as they occur, a key tag/PIN status report, or a list of the last 150 transactions. The programming keypad is used to select print functions. With a PC, the user can program the unit, produce reports with user names and information, backup/restore key tag/PIN programming or copy programming from one Radio Key® 600 to another

The module plugs permanently into the RK600 circuit board, and fits inside the reader housing. A four-wire cable with DB-25 connector is included for easy connection to a PC, or to a Serial Printer with a customer-supplied gender changer. Secura Key's Optional CBLSA cable kit and a customer-supplied, six conductor, RJ-11 wall jack allows the temporary connection of a portable printer or laptop PC. RK-LINK™ software for all versions of Windows®. Will work with Windows 10 also. Software upgrades are free to download from the Securakey website.

Note: The cable that comes with the unit is only about 4 feet long. For longer distances, up to 300 feet (91 meters), you can use 4-conductor, low capacitance Shielded 18-24 AWG cable. Just splice it in.
Also, the software only comes on a CD. If your computer won't read this type then this software may also be download from the Securakey web site

Audit Trail Troubleshooting Guide


Check each of the following items:
A) Comm Port Click on:

1. Windows Control Panel
2. Modems, Diagnostics
3. Verify which comm port is available


B) Wiring


With the Audit Trail Module connected, and RK-Link running, verify the following Voltages & Pin connections:


RKAT Wire Color Function DB9 Pins DB25 Pins Voltages Red RXD 3 2 -5 vdc to -12 vdc Orange CTS 4 20 +5 vdc to +12 vdc Brown TXD 2 3 -5 vdc to -12 vdc Black GND 5 7

The Black wire is the reference for all voltage measurements.

Signals required:
1. RXD signal from PC.
2. CTS signals from PC.
3. TXD signal from AT module.


If both RXD and CTS signals are missing you are not connected to a comm port. The comm port may be bad, or the comm port connections may be faulty.


C) Software Conflicts


1. Type CTL ALT DELETE
2. End all tasks except SYSTRAY and EXPLORER
3. Run software and try to connect.
