• Inhibit Local Keypad Programming (prevents account takeover).

Note: After the control and the PC have established valid communication, each keypad
on the system will become inactive and will display "CC" or "MODEM COMM.".
The control, however, will still be scanning its zones and looking for alarms. If
an alarm does occur, after communication is broken off, alarms are sounded and
the proper di aler reports are sent to the central station. The keypads will
become active after the download communication is terminated.
The detailed operation of the download functions is covered in the installation
instructions for the Windows Downloading Software .
