Glossary

The following terms are used throughout the guide.
Set/Unset: Set means that the burglary portion of your system is turned on and is in a state of readiness. Unset means that the burglary system is
turned off, and must be reset to become operational. However, even in an unset state, portions of your system such as emergency, carbon monoxide
and fire are still operational.
Omit: To intentionally leave a specific zone unprotected while the rest of the system is set/unset.
Final/exit: An area of protection containing doors most frequently used to enter or exit (typically, a front door, back door, or door from the garage
into the building). The final/exit allows sufficient time for authorised entry or exit without causing an alarm. Consult your installer for the entry and
exit delay times that have been set for your system during installation.
DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, which provides a mechanism for allocating IP addresses dynamically so that addresses can be reused
when hosts no longer need them.
Home Screen: The screen that is normally displayed on the keypad when entries are not being made. The keypad returns to this screen when the
Home icon is pressed or when an entry is not received for a pre-set period of time.
Gateway Address: Sometimes called a router, a gateway is a computer and/or software used to connect two or more networks which translates
information from one network to the other. A Gateway IP Address is the IP address for the gateway.
IP Address: A unique number consisting of four parts separated by periods, assigned to every computer/workstation connected to the Internet. IP
numbers can be static (assigned and unchanging) or dynamic (assigned via DHCP at every start up).

system, and perform other functions that were previously described in this manual.
Manager Code: A 4 to 6 digit code that gives users access to all of the system's functions, including the ability to program other users in the system.
