Auto programming the panel 
Auto programming detects and applies default settings to installed devices, NACs, 
remote annunciators, and expansion cards. You can control many aspects of the 
process by programming the options listed in: 
•  “Auto programming options” on page 57 
•  “Dialer options” on page 59 
•  “NET options” on page 61 
Auto programming sets up a common alarm system. After the auto programming 
process has finished, you can continue with advanced programming to apply any 
custom settings that may be required. 
Caution: Auto programming replaces the current settings for devices, NACs, remote 
annunciators, and expansion cards with default settings. 
Notes 
•  Before starting the auto programming sequence, set the time and date and 
change the default passwords. “Factory default settings” on page 35 for a list of 
all the settings that will be applied during auto programming. 
•  Auto programming places most input devices and NACs in correlation group 001. 
Relay and sounder bases are not automatically assigned to correlation groups. 
For more information on correlation groups, see “What is a correlation group?” on 
page 32 and “Correlation group programming” on page 79. 
•  Auto programming turns off the In Suite Signal Silence option for all correlation 
groups. 
•  If you choose to label devices during auto programming, devices are labeled by 
entering the address of the device and then labeling the device. It is important for 
you to have a printout of the Device Details > Serial Number report to correlate
