Users 001-050 are the only users that can perform panel linking and are automatically assigned panel
linking access when added to the system.
An alpha keypad must be used for panel linking.
The system may take up to 7 seconds to respond to a command when in a panel linking mode
NOTE: A user cannot access partitions or panels to which they have not been assigned.
Panel Link Module Supervision
The Panel Link Module can be supervised for its connection to the control panel. The module's supervisory zone is zone
8xx, where "xx" = the ECP address of the PLM. You must program that zone with response type 05 (Day/Night) in Zone
Programming in the #93 Menu Mode (refer to the Programming Guide for detailed programming instructions). If you
want to report the supervisory failure to the central station and/or to a paging service, the appropriate reporting
parameters for that zone must be programmed.
If you want the supervisory failure of PLM(s) on other linked control panels to display on this control panel, they must
be programmed into Zone Programming in the #93 Menu Mode with response type 14 in this control panel (refer to the
Programming Guide for detailed programming instructions). The panel ID number for each module must match the
panel ID number programmed in Device Programming of its "host" VISTA-120.
How to Use Panel Linking
Panel Linking can be used in any of three different modes:
•
Single-Partition, Single-Panel − displays status of a partition on a remote control panel and allows control of that
remote control panel.
•
Multi-Partition, Multi-Panel Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of multiple partitions at once on a
remote control panel.
•
Multi-Panel View Mode − displays status and allows arming/disarming of multiple remote control panels at a time.
NOTE: A user will not be able to access or view partitions or panels to which they have not been assigned.
