Advanced System Features
While most of the commonly used security functions are available from the touchscreen’s advanced user interface, there are
some less used, advanced features that can either be accessed through Console Emulation mode on the touchscreen or a
standard alpha keypad. To use features not supported by the touchscreen, refer to your Control Panel User Guide.
Console Emulation Mode
Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a touchscreen interface just as you would a regular system keypad. All
commands shown in Console Emulation mode can also be executed from a standard alpha keypad.
Notes:
•
It is recommended that you
do not
use the Console Emulation Mode to enter GOTO commands. Unsatisfactory operation
may result from issuing GOTO commands in Console Emulation.
•
Two-button press panics (1 & *, 3 & #, and * & #)
do not
function in the Console Emulation Mode. The A, B, C, and D icons
do function if programmed as panic keys.
•
Commercial systems with Alpha keypads have a feature where if you touch a key for 5 seconds, you receive self-help
messages about the touched key or holding the * key for 5 seconds to provide zone descriptors. These features do not
function in the keypad as all key touches are instantaneous.
