PROGRAMMING THE TOUCHSCREEN
"KEYPAD ADDRESS" AND "KEYPAD TYPE"
Each IBR-TOUCH touchscreen must have its own unique
Keypad Address
; in addition, the
Keypad Type
must be de-
fined. Before proceeding, the
Setup Wizard
must be per-
formed. The
Setup Wizard
begins automatically when the
touchscreen is first started, but can also be manually started
in both the
Dealer Settings Menu
(see page 5) and the
User
Settings Menu
(see page 8).
For
Setup Wizard
step-by-step instructions for connect-
ing the touchscreen to an existing Wi-Fi Network
(networks without an ISEE-WAP), see the
NAPCO
iBridge™ IBR-TOUCH & IBR-TOUCH-WL Quick Start
Guide
(WI2297) available at
http://
tech.napcosecurity.com/
.
To connect the touchscreen to an existing Wi-Fi Network
(networks with an ISEE-WAP), see the
iBridge® Suite
Quick Start
(WI1980) available at
http://
tech.napcosecurity.com/
.
The
Keypad Type
is factory set as a GEM-RP1CAe2
"Classic" style keypad and is set to
Keypad Address
#1.
These factory settings can be changed if required. To
change the
Keypad Type
and
Keypad Address
, the
touchscreen must be powered on; the IBR-TOUCH must be
wired to the control panel keypad bus, and the IBR-TOUCH-
WL must have a local wireless connection to the "local"
StarLink Connect radio or the IBR-ZREMOTE Controller that
is physically located "locally", i.e. inside the premises and
connected to the control panel.
