Notes: Since each keypad typically 
pertains to a separate, privately-owned 
dwelling, any arming changes should 
typically be coordinated with the occupant. 
Prior to v4.31, these buttons were 'display-
only'. This feature requires panel firmware 
4.25, and 
'Panel Control & Status' operator 
permission. 
- Alarms: This area shows any alarms 
for the suite/facility (fire, tripped 
sensors, or someone tampering with 
the keypad). The "Siren Type" is 
indicated as well (None, Sonalert, 
Siren, or Fire). 
------------------------- 
- [Silence] 
(V4.31): This allows 
silencing an alarm for a selected 
keypad/suite. 
------------------------- 
- Input Points: This area lists the suite security 
keypad's input points, and shows the status of 
each one (i.e., whether or not each sensor has 
been 'tripped'). 
Note: The number of input points supported depends 
on the type of suit security keypad installed. 
- Panic Keys: This area lists the suite security 
keypad's panic keys, and shows the status of 
each one (i.e., whether or not any panic keys 
have been pressed). 
Note: The number of panic keys supported depends 
on the type of suit security keypad installed. For 
example, 2-zone keypads support panic key #1 only 
(triggered by pressing  and *). 
- Output Points: This area lists the suite security 
keypad's outputs, and shows the status of each 
one (i.e., whether or not any of the outputs have 
been fired). 
Note: The number of programmable output points 
supported depends on the type of suit security keypad 
installed. 
----------------------------------------------- 
- Security Suite (bottom of form): This is where 
you select a suite security keypad to view 
diagnostic information. This area shows a 
reference number assigned by the system, plus 
the name/description of the suite/facility as 
defined under 'Configuration'. 
- Security Suite Information: Information 
pertaining to the selected suite
 (version number, 
maximum and present baud rate, etc.)
. 
- Security Suite Status: Various status topics for 
the selected keypad. 
- Communication Statistics: This shows 
information pertaining to the module bus 
communications success rate with this device 
over a period of time. 
- [Refresh Communication Statistics]: This 
updates the screen (i.e., rechecks 
communications statistics). 
- [Reset Communication Statistics]: This 
restarts the counters ('i.e., resets the statistics 
values to zero).

the presence of user activity, the number of users in an 
area (user count), and resetting APB tracking for an 
area. Related Topic
