Advanced System Features
Introduction to Advanced System Features
While most of the commonly used security functions are available from the TouchCenter’s advanced user interface, there are some less used, advanced features that can either be accessed through Console Emulation mode on the TouchCenter or a standard alpha keypad. To use features not supported by the TouchCenter, refer to your Control Panel User Guide.
Console Emulation Mode
Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a TouchCenter interface just as you would a regular system keypad. All commands shown in Console Emulation mode can also be executed from a standard alpha keypad.
Notes:
•It is recommended that you do not use the Console Emulation Mode to enter GOTO commands. Unsatisfactory operation may result from issuing GOTO commands in Console Emulation.
•Two button panics (1 & *, 3 & #, and * & #) do not function in the Console Emulation Mode. The A, B, C, and D buttons do function if programmed as panic keys. Check with your system installer for details.
•Commercial systems with Alpha keypads have a feature where if you depress a key for 5 seconds, you will receive self help messages about the pressed key or holding the * key for 5 seconds will provide zone descriptors. These features do not function in the TouchCenter as all key presses are instantaneous.
How to Enter Console Emulation Mode
