Text Messaging Commands
Your system may be programmed to allow simple text messages to
be sent to the security system and perform basic user operations.
By texting a message from your cell phone or PDA, the following
actions can be performed: Arm/Disarm, Cancel Alarm, turn Outputs
On/Off, and check Armed Status.
The user that is texting commands to the system must have the
authority to perform the commands as if it occurred at the keypad. The
cell phone number and user numbers are setup during programming.
After programming is completed, you will receive a welcome message
text from the panel. Write down the phone number that the message
comes from. This will be the number you use to text user operations
to the system.
Note: When texting commands listed below, the commands can be
either upper or lowercase.
A list of text commands can be obtained by texting “help” to the
system phone number. Store this number in your cell phone and
write the number on the Quick Reference Wallet Card located at
the back of this manual.
