Introduction

Keypad commands can be used to allow device control directly from the card reader. This can be especially useful for enabling / disabling devices or emergency situations requiring lockdown.

Procedure

Defining a Keypad Command:

  • In Design Mode, expand the RTU in question.
  • Right-click the "Keypad Commands" node and select "Add Node and Edit". This will add a new "Keypad Command Group".
  • Set the "Name" field for this group.
  • On the bottom, right-click < ADD >.
  • Set the "Keypad Command Number" and choose the action from the DLT list. (Note: More complex actions can be taken if custom DLT is used. For more information see .)

  • Click < Save > then repeat for each Keypad Command to be added.
  • Click < Ok >
