Glossary

these detectors are installed during the night. In this mode, the security system

threats all the detectors that are assigned to perimeter zones as immediate

alarm initiators and to all detectors assigned to interior zones as non-alarm

initiators.

• Disarm – The DISARM mode is usually used when the house is occupied

during day hours. During this mode, non of the detectors will be treated as

alarm initiators except for detectors that are assigned to a 24 Hour zone (such

as a safe room) in which any trigger must be an alarm initiator.

• Arm Bypass / Home Bypass – The ARM BYPASS and HOME BYPASS

arming modes are used to arm the security system even if some of the

detectors are troubled or in "Open" status that indicates detection. Once armed,

the security system will ignore any triggers from the detectors that were

troubled or "Open" when the security system was armed. Use these arming

modes with caution as when being used, some parts of the house are not

secured even when the security system is armed.

Central Station

A monitoring station capable of receiving alarm indications from security systems.

Central stations usually alert the police or send their own guards to a house that is

alarmed in order to verify the alarm and potentially apprehend the intruder or take

care of the alarm situation (fire, gas, flood, etc.)

Control Panel

The control panel is the main unit of a security system. It collects information from

various detectors and responds in various ways such as sounding a siren or calling the

central station or the home owner.

Latchkey

The Latchkey mode is a special mode in which designated "latchkey users" trigger a

"latchkey message" to be sent to a telephone or a pager when they disarm the system.

For example, if a parent wants to be sure that their child has returned from school and

disarmed the system, they will assign a Latchkey user to the child. Refer to the

security system's user manual in order to find out how to enable the Latchkey

function.

Port Forwarding

IP addresses of computers connected to a LAN are called Unregistered IP Addresses

whereas IP Addresses of computers or devices connected to the WAN are called

Registered IP Addresses. Computers with an Unregistered IP addresses (such as the

Visonic PowerLink2) cannot communicate with computers or devices with a

Registered IP addresses (such as the computer in your office) directly.

The Port Forwarding feature enables computers with a Registered IP address (such as

your office computer) to access services on computers with an Unregistered IP

Address (such as the Visonic PowerLink2). This is done by mapping ports on the

router so each request arriving to the router at a specific port is routed to the computer

that hosts the service on the LAN.
