2. Enter the panel password into the keypad (the default is 1988) and select
OK to access the page (FIG. 4).
Connecting to a Master
The panel requires that you establish the type of connection you want to make
between it and your Master. In the Connection & Networks page:
1. Select Master Connection to open the Master Connection page (FIG. 5).
2. Press Mode to toggle through the available connection modes:
3. If you have enabled password security on your Master, you need to set the

Configuring the Panel to a Network
The first step is to configure the panel’s communication parameters. This only
configures the panel to communicate with a network, and it is still necessary to
tell the panel with which Master it should be communicating.
Network Communication With a DHCP Address
In the Connection & Networks page:
1. Select Network Connection to open the Network Connection page
(FIG. 6).
2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field until the choice cycles to DHCP. This action
causes all fields on the page (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.
3. Select Host Name to open the Host Name keyboard. Enter the new host
name and click OK.
Setting Static IP Information
When using DHCP settings for a panel, the DHCP server will automatically
populate almost all of the Network Connections page fields, with the exception
of Hostname. When setting the panel for Static, however, this information must
be entered manually. To enter the network connection information:
1. In DHCP/Static, press the field until the entry reads “Static”. This enables
all of the editable Network Connections page fields.
2. Select the IP Address field to open the Wired IP Address keypad (FIG. 7).
3. Enter the server’s IP address and click OK.
4. Repeat this procedure with the other fields on the Network Connections
page.
5. When finished, the new connection information will be visible in the
Network Connections page.
