Access Security
The following four levels of protection guard the control against compromise while it is being accessed from a remote
location:
1. Security code handshake: The subscriber’s account number as well as an 8-digit ID number (known only to the
office) must be matched between the control and computer.
2. Hang-up and callback: The control panel “hangs up” and calls the computer back at the pre-programmed number
only if the security codes match.
3. Data encryption: All data that is exchanged between the computer and control is encrypted to reduce the possibility
of anyone “tapping” the line and corrupting data.
