Text Messaging Commands
Your system may be programmed to allow simple text messages to
be sent to the security system to perform basic user operations.
By texting a message from your cell phone or PDA, the following
actions can be performed: Arm/Disarm, Cancel Alarm, turn
Outputs On/Off, and check Armed Status.
The user that is texting commands to the system must have
the authority to perform the commands as if it occurred at the
keypad. The cell phone number and user numbers are setup during
programming.
After programming is completed, you will receive a welcome
message text from the panel. Write down the phone number that
the message comes from. This will be the number you use to text
user operations to the system.
Note
: When texting commands listed below, the commands can be
either upper or lowercase.
A list of In Touch™ SMS Text commands can be obtained by texting
“help” to the system phone number. Store this number in your cell
phone and write the number on the Quick Reference Wallet Card
located at the back of this manual.
