Glossary
The following terms are used throughout the guide.
Arm/Disarm:
“Armed” simply means that the burglary portion of your system is turned ON and is in a state of readiness.
“Disarmed” means that the burglary system is turned OFF, and must be rearmed to become operational. However, even in a
“disarmed” state, “emergency”, "carbon monoxide" and “fire” portions of your system are still operational.
Bypass:
To intentionally leave a specific zone unprotected while the rest of the system is armed.
Console Emulation:
Console Emulation Mode allows you to use a keypad 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.
Day/Night Zone
: An area of protection whose violation causes a trouble indication during the disarmed (DAY) mode and an
alarm during the armed (NIGHT) mode.
Delay Zone:
An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or
door from the garage into the building). The delay zone allows sufficient time for authorized entry or exit without causing an
alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and exit delay times that have been set for your system during installation and record
them on the separate sheet provided in this guide.
DHCP
– Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses dynamically so that
addresses can be reused when hosts no longer need them.
Home Screen:
The screen that is normally displayed on the keypad when entries are not being made. The keypad returns to this
screen when the “Home” icon is pressed or when an entry is not received for a pre-set period of time.
Gateway Address –
Sometimes called a router, a gateway is a computer and/or software used to connect two or more networks
which translates information from one network to the other. A Gateway IP Address is the IP address for the gateway.
IP Address
– A unique number consisting of four parts separated by periods, assigned to every computer/workstation connected
to the Internet. IP numbers can be “static” (assigned and unchanging) or “dynamic” (assigned via DHCP at every startup).

arming or disarming of the system, and perform other functions that were previously described in this manual.
Master Code:
A 4-digit code that gives users access to all of the system’s functions, including the ability to program other users
in the system. See also “User Code.
Message Icon:
A graphical icon on the Home screen that allows you to record and retrieve voice messages.
Night:
An arming mode for the system. Your system installer set the type of arming and the zones armed when sing this mode.
