ADD PASSCODES?
Description
Use this function to add a passcode to your system without assistance from your security
company. You need to know which user numbers are available, the authority level you want to
assign to the new passcode and the areas in which it will be valid before you add it.
The two digit user numbers identify users in reports transmitted from your system. The authority
level determines what system functions the passcode can access. The area number identifies which
parts of your security system the passcode will have access to. Contact your security company if
you don't know what user numbers, authority levels, or areas are available. See the Appendix for
further information on adding passcodes.
Using COMMAND 56:
Before you begin:
• Do not try to add passcodes without knowing the available user numbers. These are two
digit numbers, not to be confused with passcodes, that identify users at your security
company.
• Choose a new passcode three to six digits long. If you choose a passcode with the same
digit in consecutive order (for example "33" in 334697), take care when entering it.
• To avoid conflicting with other passcodes and duress codes, your system does not let you
change to passcodes that are within plus or minus 2 of an existing passcode. For
example, if 1234 were an existing code, your system would not let you change your code
to 1232, 1233, 1235, or 1236.
• Choose an authority level for each area. Leaving the authority level for an area blank by
pressing [ENT] without making an entry, denies the passcode access to that area.
1. Ensure your command center is at idle text.
2. Press the [COMMAND] bar. The display shows SYSTEM COMMAND.
3. Press the [5] key, then press the [6] key.
Note: If you prefer, you may use the Command Menu in place of steps 2 and 3 to initiate this function.
Press the [MENU] key to enter the Command Menu, then press [NEXT] repeatedly until you
reach the ADD PASSCODES ? prompt. Press [ENT].
4. The command center displays ENTER USER NUM. Enter the two-digit user number
(not the passcode). Press [ENT].
• If you enter a user number already in use, USER IN USE displays. Choose another
user number and try again.
5. ENTER NEW CODE displays. Enter the new passcode and press [ENT].
• If the passcode is already in use, the command center displays PASSCODE IN USE.
Choose another passcode.
• If the passcode is not in use, the command center displays USER ## @@@@@@ (## =
user number, @@@@@@ = new passcode).
6. If the information is correct, press [ENT]. If the information is incorrect, press [ESC].
