Cybersecurity Recommendations
Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity
1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords:
The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords. It is recommended to
change default passwords immediately. The password of this device is made up of 4 to 6 numbers.
2. Update Firmware
Please do not update firmware randomly. If you need to update firmware, please contact technical support or
manufacturer.
“Nice to have” recommendations to improve your network security
1. Change Passwords Regularly
Regularly change the credentials to your devices to help ensure that only authorized users are able to access the
system.
2. Check the Log:
If you suspect that someone has gained unauthorized access to your system, you can check the system log.
3. Physically Lock Down the Device:
Ideally, you want to prevent any unauthorized physical access to your system. The best way to achieve this is to
install the recorder in a lockbox, locking server rack, or in a room that is behind a lock and key.

Off: The system operates normally.
Bypass LED Indicator ( )
Glows: There is at least one bypassed zone.
Off: There is no bypassed zone.
1-8 LED Indicators
There are eight LED indicators located below the LCD display represent the status of the Areas. From left
to right they show the alarm status of Area 1 to Area 8. See Figure 2-4.
Area status LED indicators Figure 2-4

activates the detectors that belong to these two Partitions.
From Partition Arming 1 + Partition Arming 2, you can only proceed to Total Arming of an Area.
To perform Partition Arming 1 + Partition Arming 2, you should arm one of the two Partitions with the other
is already armed (the order does not matter). For the arming procedures of Partition Arming, see "3.1.2
Partition 1 Arming" and "3.1.3 Partition 2 Arming."
After the arming operation is completed, the armed Area shows the upper case P. See Figure 3-6.
Partition arming 1 and Partition arming 2 Figure 3-6
The Areas can be armed in different and mixed modes, for example, you can have one Partition Arming 1,
one Partition Arming 2, and one Total Arming mode. See Figure 3-5.
Mixed arming Figure 3-7
3.1.5 Forced Arming
Forced Arming allows you to override not ready system arming caused by open Zones, without any
additional operations. This type of arming can be useful when the open or not ready Zones are windows or
doors whose status you know and that you wish to leave open. Another instance where Forced arming is
useful is when one or more sensors are in a TROUBLE condition but you do not want to put them into
bypassed status.
In order for an access code to be able to provide Forced Arming, you must have the relevant attribute
programmed, for details, see "4.6 ACCESS CODES" menu.
Alarm Control Panel User Manual
22
After the Forced Arming has been set, the bypass LED indicator lights up showing that some detectors are
automatically bypassed. If the Forced Arming is set for the whole Area, a lower case t is shown on the LCD
display, see Figure 3-8.
The Forced Arming could inhibit sensors that you DID NOT wish to bypass from arming without your
realizing it.
After disarming, all the detectors involved in the Forced Arming will become available for arming again.
Forced arming Figure 3-8
3.1.6 Rapid Arming
Rapid Arming allows you to Arm the alarm system without entering the user code. The only difference
between Rapid Arming and arming with the code is the practicality of performing the operation quickly. To
Disarm the system, you must type in a valid code.
Preparation
To use the Rapid Arming, the TECHNICIAN must have programmed the Keypad. Otherwise, the Keypad
cannot do the Rapid Arming.
Procedure
To do the Rapid Arming, press and hold for the arming that you require on the Areas that belong to
the Keypad.
You can also arm the system with IMMEDIATE or DELAYED exit time for Rapid Arming if this is
programmed by the TECHNICIAN.
To disarm from Rapid Arming, you need to type in a valid user code.
3.1.7 Arming through Timer
You can arm the alarm system by timer that is set on the SYSTEM TIMER menu.
This setting can be managed and programed by the TECHNICIAN, Supervisor, and Manager. For details,
see "4.10 SYSTEM TIMERS" menu.
The system also supports programming HOLIDAYS during which the TIMER will not have any effect. For
details, see "4.12 HOLIDAY" menu.
3.1.8 Arming from Remote
The alarm system can also be armed from telephone through a specific procedure with an interactive vocal
guide or through SMS messages.
Alarm Control Panel User Manual
23
Disarming 3.2

details, see "4.12 HOLIDAY" menu.
3.2.3 Total Disarming through Telephone or SMS
The alarm system can also be disarmed from telephone through a specific procedure with an interactive
vocal guide or through SMS text messages.
3.2.4 Disarming under Duress
You can do the disarming with a changed use code or a specific duress code to give an duress alarm. Take
the normal use code is 1234 as an example. You can increase or decrease the last figure.
Type in the changed user code, for example, 1235. Step 1
