Numeric Keypad Operation
An optional numeric keypad is available to enable floodlight control by users without mobile
phones. Keypad commands are identical to SMS commands.
The format of Floodlight Control Commands is described in “Overview of Floodlight Control”.
This section will describe the aspects of operation applicable only to the numeric keypad.
Pressing a key starts the key input sequence. The red light turns on. Users have up
to 30 s to input the next key. Failing to do it clears the keypad, turning the red light off.
Each keypress is acknowledged with a short beep. The keypad will hold a maximum
of 16 keys in its buffer. Key presses after the 16
th
one will be ignored and indicated
with longer beeps.
‘*’ is the CLEAR key. Pressing it clears the keypad and turns the red light off.
The keypad command is sent to the Illuminator immediately following the pressing of
the ‘#’ key. A successful command is acknowledged with three short beeps. An
invalid command is indicated by a single long beep.
Invalid command response may be caused by any of the following: invalid command,
wrong PIN, no field authorisation, another user holds access rights, outside allowed
control time etc.
