Hello Karl,
today I tried to install the FO MCDU with your instructions but I don't see the Fo Key Card in Sioc on Server Pc. Are there any changes in Sioc or Key ini file necessary?
The IOCKeys.exe Show me:
Host: IP from Server Pc with Sioc
Port: 8092
Status: Online
USB: USB running
Device: 2048
The connection to Sioc is ok, but I don't see the Card in Sioc Config Devices Menu.
I hope you can help me again.
Regards
Micha

1) configure the CPT side only (done alreadky apparently)
2) close SIOC config, SIOC.exe etc...
3) Open c:\A320FMGS\hardware modules\FMGSServer.iocp.ini file
4) in that file, locate the MCDUkeys=x,y,z,..,..,... line (it is a long line with many numbers separated by commas)
5) Copy the line, but change the nale to MCDUfokeys
6) add a line USBKeysfo=1000 (you can replace 1000 by any number, but it MUST NOT be an already used variable number in the jeehellware.ssi SIOC script)
7) Open jeehellware.ssi file which should be located inside you SIOC folder.
8 ) Copy the variable from the CPT MCDU USBkeys, but change name to keyfo and variable number to 1000 (or whatever number you used in point 6) )
This will need to be done manually every time you put changes in your sioc configuration. You can put the jeehellware.ssi modifications in a text file, and tell SIOC Creator to append it (general tab), so you will only need to change the FMGSServer.iocp.ini file.
EDIT: if you cannot see your FO MCDU in the SIOC device list, yes you probably need to edit the SIOC.ini to add the USBkeys entry. I do not remember exactly what has to be done here, there should be some textual "help" in the SIOC.ini file itself, or in SIOC help...

Hi JL,
thank you very much for your help. I make the changes to your instructions, and the FO MCDU is connected.
The next Problem is, the wiring of the MCDU's are not the same.
Is there any way to change the button configuration manual?
best regards
Micha
in that case, you can configure first the physical FO MCDU as the CPT one. Then copy the resulting line in FMGSServer.iocp.ini.
Then invert for hte CPT to correctly configured.
Hi,
thank you all for your help, the FO MCDU works very good.
I am very happy!
Regards
Micha
Hello JL, any estimate for the next Beta?
