Use the DMS Keypads dialog to specify locations, configure zones and set up scenes for up to 32
DMS keypads in the system.

Specifying a location for each keypad

Use the list boxes in the Keypad Location section of the dialog to associate each available keypad
with a Room / location in the system. The number of available DMS keypads, and the Room /
Location names lists are based on information entered in the System Information dialog.
Design XPress Programmer's Guide
Click the drop-down arrow next to each Keypad Location field to display a list of
available Rooms / Locations. Select the room or location name where the key-
pad is located. If you need to change or edit a room or location name select the
Edit Rooms/Locations button via the Edit Rooms/Locations dialog.
The list is based on the Room/Location Names entered in the System Informa-
tion dialog.
Note: Room/Location names are limited to 20 alphanumeric characters and
can include hyphens(-) and underscore characters (_). The first 8 characters of
every room must be unique.
This section specifies the Audio Zone, HVAC Zone, and Intercom Zone con-
trolled by each keypad. After selecting a keypad location, select the Audio,
HVAC and Intercom zones for that keypad location. A zone can be set to allow
remote monitoring by selecting the Allow Zone Monitoring checkbox.
This feature is useful in baby/toddler rooms to allow remote monitoring from
another room in the house.
• Audio Zone: Select an audio zone from the drop-down list.
• HVAC Zone: Select an HVAC zone from the drop-down list.
• Intercom Zone: Select an intercom zone from the drop-down list.
• Allow Zone Monitoring: Checking this box allows one-way monitoring of this
room/location.
Note: every door phone in the system uses two intercom zone inputs. Intercom
zone inputs are also required for DMS keypads (one per keypad). Therefore,
each door phone in the system reduces the total of allowed DMS keypads with
intercom connections by two. For example, four door phones would use eight
intercom zone inputs, leaving a maximum total of 22 DMS keypads (with inter-
coms) in the system, based on the max of 30 audio zones.
The Lighting section allows you to name and configure the lighting scenes
accessible from the selected keypad.
• Name: The Name field allows you to give each lighting scene a name. No
duplicates are allowed (8 characters maximum).
• Address: The Address field is the address of the lighting system or lighting
system keypad depending upon the lighting system used.
Note: The only valid keypad address characters are 0-9, A-F, and : (colon).
• Button #: The Button # refers to the button number or scene number the
Design XPress system will emulate when communicating to the lighting
system. For AMX Radia, the button # is the number of the scene stored in the
Radia system that should be recalled when this scene is selected on the
touch panel or DMS keypad.
• Copy From: This list box allows you to select a lighting scene layout from
another DMS keypad in the system to copy from.
No duplicate Room / Location names are allowed.
To change or edit a room or location name, click the Edit Rooms/Locations button to
invoke the Edit Rooms/ Locations dialog. Select the room/location name you want to edit
