ADD PASSCODES? COMMAND 56
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.

edly 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.
