Selecting Points with the Entry Keypad
Overview
The entry keypad, shown below, allows you to quickly select a category of points. For example, 
pressing the ZONE key on the upper left side of the keypad opens the direct point call-up screen 
and places the cursor at the first monitor zone point. Press an additional number to move the cursor 
closer to the desired point or use the arrow keys to move the cursor manually.

You can use the keypad to select either a local point or a network point.  A local point is physically 
connected to the panel, and a network point is one that is located on a different panel and is 
programmed so that it can be selected and controlled from another panel.
Refer to the following table for information on using the keypad to select local points on this panel.
