Console Emulation Mode
Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a TouchCenter 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.
•
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
panics (1 & *, 3 & #, and * & #)
do not
function in the Console Emulation Mode. The A, B, C, and D
button
s do function if programmed as panic keys. Check with your system installer for details.
•
Commercial systems with Alpha keypads have a feature where if you press a key for 5 seconds, you receive self
help messages about the pressed key or holding the * key for 5 seconds to provide zone descriptors. These features
do not function in the TouchCenter as all key presses are instantaneous.
