Accessing Other Panels
If the user is authorized, a keypad in one panel can be used to perform
system functions in other panels by using one of the panel linking methods
described below. Note that only users 001 to 050 can be authorized to
access other panels.
The system provides three modes to access other “linked” control panels:
• Single-Partition, Single-Panel − displays status of a partition on a remote
control panel and allows control of that remote control panel.
• Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode − displays status and allows
arming/disarming of multiple partitions at once on a remote control
panel.
• Multi-Panel View Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of
multiple remote control panels at a time.
NOTE: A user will not be able to access or view partitions or panels that
they have not been assigned to.
Single-Partition Single-Panel Mode
To access the single-partition single panel mode, perform the following steps:
1. Enter your security code + # + 8 + 6 .
2. Enter the panel ID# (01-08) of the panel you want to link to.
3. Enter the partition number of the panel.
4. The keypad displays “AWAITING PANEL LINK.” After a few seconds,
the keypad displays the status of the partition along with the panel ID
number and partition number flashing in the upper right-hand corner.
The user now has full control of the remote control panel. All functions
can be performed except the following:
• Those limited by the user’s authority level.
• The user cannot enter Installer Program mode
• The user cannot execute another panel linking mode.
NOTE: To execute another panel linking mode or to access a different
remote panel, the user must first exit this mode (return to the original
control panel).
5. To exit, enter your security code + # + 8 + 5 . After a few seconds,
the keypad displays the status of the original partition for the keypad.
Also, this mode will end in approximately 120 seconds if no keys are
pressed.
