RE: Initializing an Annunciator Keyboard

[Harris, Diane B. (OV-LPTVCM)]

Tim,
I don't know about the AAtab file but whenever I update the AApan file I
use:
pref -LID ascmd "loadalmpnl /usr/fox/alarms/LIDAApan" either directly on the
AW/WP or I rlogin in and perform the command.
Could this be modified to work for the table file?
