User Codes, Maintenance Code, User Code Length

User Codes

A person must be assigned to a user code in order to have access to Magellan. A user code defines the extent of a user’s access to the system and consists of a code # (PIN) and user options. Magellan supports one Installer code, one Maintenance code and up to 16 user codes (one System Master code and 15 User codes).

Installer Code	Used to program all console settings
	except User codes and Remote Controls

Maintenance Code	Identical to the Installer code except that
	the code cannot program dialer options or
	perform a software reset.

System Master Code	Provides access to the following Magellan
User Code 001	user features: language, voice and utility
	reporting, delays and tones, zone labels,
	system tests. Arm and disarm using any
	method as well as program User Codes.

15 User Codes	Can arm and disarm the system.
User Codes 002 to 016

Maintenance Code

Section [182]; Default = 111111

The Maintenance code is similar to the Installer code. It can be used to enter the console’s programming mode (see Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 11), which allows you to program all features, options and commands except for the console’s communication settings (sections [100] to [154]) as well as any user code. The Maintenance code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User Code Length on page 12) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9.

To change the Maintenance code:

1.Access the installer programming mode (page 11).

2.Enter section [182].

3.Enter a new [4- OR 6-DIGIT MAINTENANCE CODE].

1.Press [MENU] + [4] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [8] + [NEW CODE].

User Code Length

Section [090]: Option [1]

Option [1] OFF = 6-digit user codes

Option [1] ON = 4-digit user codes (default)

All user codes can be set to lengths of either 4 or 6 digits. When the 4-digit option is selected, entering a 4-digit code will allow access. Using the 6-digit option, entering 6 digits is required to allow access.

If the User Code Length is changed from 4 digits to 6 digits when user codes have already been programmed, the console will automatically add the last 2 digits by using the first 2 digits. For example, if the access code is 1234 and you switch to 6 digits, the code will become 123412. Be sure to verify the access codes after switching from 4-digit to 6-digit access codes. When switching from 6 digits to 4 digits, the console will simply remove the final 2 digits of the access code. For example, 123456 will become 1234.

System Master Code

With the System Master code a user can use any arming method and can program any user’s (from 1 to 16) Access Code. The System Master code can be 4 or 6 digits in length (see User Code Length on page 12), where each digit can be any digit from 0 to 9. The System Master code cannot be changed by the installer or maintenance code, but it can be reset to default.

Lock System Master Code

Section [090]: Option [3]

Option [3] OFF =System Master code unlocked (default) Option [3] ON =System Master code locked

With section [090] option [3] enabled, the System Master code can only be changed or deleted through WinLoad or a power down reset.

Installer Code

Section [181]; Default = 000000

The Installer code is used to enter the console's programming mode (see Programming Using the Built-in Keypad on page 11), which allows you to program all the features, options and commands of the Magellan console. The Installer code can be 4- or 6-digits in length (see User Code Length on page 12) where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. The Installer code cannot be used to program any user code.

To change the Installer code:

1.Access the installer programming mode (page 11).

2.Enter section [181].

3.Enter a new [4- OR 6-DIGIT INSTALLER CODE].

1.Press [MENU] + [4] + [INSTALLER CODE] + [8] + [NEW CODE].

Reset System Master Code

Section [200]

Enter section [200] to reset the System Master code to default (1234/123456).

Make sure that the Lock System Master Code feature (section [090] option [3]) is disabled.

Duress Code

Section [090]: Option [4]

Option [4] OFF = Duress code disabled (default)

Option [4] ON = User code 016 becomes a duress code

With this feature enabled, user code 016 becomes a Duress code. When forced to arm or disarm their system, users can enter a Duress code (user code 016) to arm or disarm the system which can immediately transmit a silent alert to the Central Station, transmitting the duress report code programmed in section [140] (page 25).
