The Function/Numeric Keypad, shown in Figure 5-1 below, allows you to quickly select points.

For example, pressing the ZONE key (key also labelled 1) selects the monitor zone category.

After selecting a category, messages on the display prompt you for the specific point in the

category. After a point has been displayed, you can scroll through all the points in the system

from that point, or select another point directly by entering another identifier using the keypad.

You can use the keypad to select either a local point or a network point. A local point is one that is

physically connected to the panel you are currently at, and a network point is one that is located on

a different panel but has been programmed so that it can be selected and controlled from the panel

you are at.

There may be several ways of selecting a point. For a point associated with a card, e.g., a device

on an IDNet loop, you can use the <ADDR> key to first enter the card address, then enter the point

number. If you know the full loop address, then use the IDNet key. The format for entering a

point identifier address requires a hyphen between levels. For example, a module with address 12

on IDNet loop 4 may have two sub-points. The address of sub-point 2 is IDNet 4-12-2. Only

numbers and the hyphen keys are valid entries. The maximum number of digits allowed in an

identifier input is eleven (11), including the hyphens, excluding the <ENTER> key. See the

following table for other examples.

Refer to Table 5-1 for information on using the Function/Numeric keypad to select local points on

this panel.
