Global Access Code; Area Jumping; Global Status And History; Access Codes - Interlogix Advent User Manual

The word "partition" will be changed to "area" wher-
ever it is spoken, displayed, or printed.

Global Access Code

There are two types of codes regarding partitions/areas.
Global access codes can be used in all partitions/areas. All
other access codes belong to the partition/area in which they
were added and cannot be used to control other partitions/
areas. When a touchpad is redirected to a new area, any
access code used must be valid in that area to work.
The partition/area of an access code cannot be changed.
However, the same code may be programmed in more than
one partition/area, with each instance of the code represent-
ing a unique user number. The panel does not allow the user
to add a duplicate code within a partition/area, globally, or a
user code which is equal to the installer code.
Note
If a partition access code is used to enter the Access
Code Menu, all new codes are for that partition. If a glo-
bal access code is used, all new codes will be global.

Area Jumping

Normally, an Advent panel has partitions and no areas. Your
security consultant can turn your partitions into areas which
then allows you to jump between areas using the alphanu-
meric touchpad. Only users with global access codes with
primary, or full authority can access this.
Every time a jump occurs, a 4-minute time is started. When
this timer expires, the touchpad jumps back to its original
area automatically. Also, every time the touchpad becomes
inactive, (no menu changes) a shorter, programmable time,
(default 10 seconds), starts. When this timer expires, the
touchpad jumps back to its original area automatically.
If the touchpad is redirected to its original area, no timers
are started because the touchpad is already where it belongs.
To jump between areas:

progress.

Access Codes

Access codes are numbers that you must enter from a touch-
pad to operate or make changes to the system. They are
used to limit certain system operations to authorized per-
sonnel. Access codes are programmable and can be from
four to six digits long. The system will indicate if and when
an access code is required to perform any desired function.
When is displayed, enter the access code
ENTER YOUR CODE
using the touchpad buttons located behind the touchpad
door.
The system automatically has one access code in each parti-
tion/area for the primary user. It is the primary access code.
You can change the primary access code, but you cannot
delete it. In addition to this primary access code you can
create secondary access codes for other users.

Adding Access Codes

Add an access code to the system whenever you want to
give other authorized personnel use of the system.

Access Code Guidelines

Do not use sequential numbers (1234, 5678, etc.) that
can be easily defeated by unauthorized users.
Do not use birthdate/year combinations which others
may know.
Do not use phone number sequences which others may
know.
Keep a separate log of all programmed user codes and
their user names in a secured location.
