NetworX Keypad Commands
The NX Series features an extensive suite of keypad commands, many of which can be utilized without the requirement of entering a master code. However, access to certain advanced functionalities, such as panel programming, may necessitate the input of the installer code or mastercode. These keypad commands offer a user-friendly interface to the alarm system’s capabilities, particularly on older keypad models such as the one depicted below.
LED keypads
Keypads have lights on them that gives your arm/disarm status, zone status, and more. To effectively use and program the system with a LED keypad, you need to know how to read binary values, making this the most difficult option to use the alarm system. Doing simple commands like bypassing, alarm memory is okay, but not the most pleasant experience. It is highly recommended that you get yourself a full text keypad if you are planning to use the system, and maintain the system yourself. The commands below work on all the keypads.
