6.3 Programming Using the 5660 Silent Knight Software
Suite
You can use the 5660 Silent Knight Software Suite (SKSS) to program the control panel onsite or remotely.
SKSS is an optional software package that lets you easily program the control panel using a Windows-based
computer and a modem* (not sold by Silent Knight). When using SKSS, you can set up the programming options
for the panel, save the options in a file, then download the file to the panel. You connect to the control panel
directly using the control panel’s onboard USB or serial port or remotely using a modem. If you need to connect
to an older control panel that does not have a USB port, and your laptop does not have a serial port, use a USB to
serial converter. SKSS includes an Online help system and a manual. See the SKSS manual (PN 151240) for
more information.
* See Section 1.3 for a list of modems that have been tested for compatibility with the control panel
and SKSS.
6.4 Programming Using an Annunciator
You can program the control panel from a system annunciator, using either the control panel’s
on-board annunciator or a remote annunciator.
The following subsections describe programming basics, including a description of editing keys available for
programming and how to move through programming menus. Section 7 contains specific information about
individual programming options.

To exit the programming menu:
When you have completed working with the menus, press the left arrow several times until you are exited from
programming mode. Two prompts will display. The first prompt is to make sure you intended to leave the
Program Menu (select Yes or No as appropriate). The second prompt is for accepting all changes. If you select
No, any changes you have made since you entered the Program Menu will have no effect.
