abort the robbery. The same will happen if a staff member is forced to disarm the area and they use the du-
ress code, the “In Alarm” disarm timer will be triggered.
4 – When using CSV IP reporting a name and password can be prefixed to the beginning of the alarm report.
The Name is programmed at program location P201E6E and the Password is programmed at location
P201E7E. The text is entered in the same way that keypad zone, user, area names are programmed.
5 - A new address P25E15E with a value of 0-255 has been added. An invalid webpage login attempt count
can be set at this address. If set to 0 there is no incorrect login count. If set from 1-255, that is the number of
incorrect login attempts before the webpage access is locked out. Using a valid code at the panel keypad to
arm/disarm the panel will reset this count.
6 - A new address P25E16E with a value of 0-9999 has been added. If an invalid webpage login count is set
at P25E15E and that count is exceeded the webpage access will be locked out for the period set at this ad-
dress. If this address is set to 0 there is no lockout time. If set from 1-9999, that is the time in seconds that all
webpage access will be locked out for. Using a valid code at the panel keypad to arm/disarm the panel will
reset this time.
7 - A new option called “IP Fail (Timed)” has been added at P36E option 8. f IP Monitoring is being used and
the panel fails to report a signal or a poll it will enter a “Comm Failure” state and the output will turn on. The
output MUST have a reset time programmed at P40E as it needs a reset time to allow the output to reset af-
ter being triggered.
V257- Date 19-04-2017
At software version V257 some new features were added. They are:
1 - The IP monitoring addresses (P203E1-8E) can now be an IP address or a URL (web name). When enter-
ing in a URL at the LCD keypad the letters (all lower case), and numbers, are entered in exactly the same
way that LCD text for zones, outputs, areas, etc, is entered. The number 1 key can be used to enter in a “1”,
or “.” or “-” in the URL or IP address.
2 - The panel can now support a secondary gateway address (P201E8E). This can be useful if there is a land
based internet that could be subject to service interruption, a secondary cellular gateway could serve as a
back up.
3 - A primary and secondary DNS server address has been added, P201E9E and 10E.
4 - Two internet clock URL’s have been added, P201E11E and 12E. The panel can be told to sync it’s time to
the internet time by turning On option 3 at address P210E4E.
5 - When using the internet time a time zone can be selected at address P25E17E.
V258- Date 21-04-2017
At software version V258 a new feature was added. There is a new option 5 at P25E13E called “Keypad
LED’s and Backlight off on no activity”. If there is nothing happening on the system, eg no zone activity, the
LED’s on all keypads and all the backlighting will turn off. This is particularly suited for keypads that might be
mounted in a bedroom. If a zone triggers the LED’s will turn on for 10 seconds then turn off again.
We also changed how the 24 hour zone restore happens. If a 24 hour zone triggers then restores immedi-
ately the restore will be sent to monitoring when it restores. If the zone stays in alarm the restore was sent
when the alarm was reset at a keypad but now the restore will only be sent when the zone actually restores.
V260- Date 18-05-2017
When an output is controlled by a Time Zone the “Control” button was able to override the output from a key-
pad as long as the keypad (P83E) and the output (P34E option 7) were programmed to do this . When the
output number was manually entered (eg <CONTROL> <05> <ENTER>) the user could turn the output ON
or OFF. The same was supposed to happen if the CONTROL button was programmed as a single button op-
eration at the keypad (see P96E option 8) but using the CONTROL button this way would only turn the output
ON, not OFF. This has been corrected in V260 so the CONTROL button when set to single button operation
will toggle the output from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON.
V261- Date 22-06-2017
There was a bug when reporting using Patriot IP (type 6 at P182E). The zone/user field should be 3 digits
with a spacer digit added after that but the spacer digit was added at the front of those 3 digits which made
the zone/user field incorrect. That has been fixed in this version. Also the event code sent for output ex-
pander tamper was 354 which is incorrect. The panel now sends a 341 event code.
