• Centralized account management: Organize multiple customer sites and panels in one place.
• Fast programming: Configure zones, partitions, user codes, schedules, and reporting options with an intuitive interface.
• Remote service: Upload/download panel settings and retrieve event logs over supported network or cellular links, or connect locally via PC-Link.
• Templates and profiles: Standardize configurations to speed up commissioning and ensure consistency across installations.
• Backup and compare: Save, restore, and compare panel configurations to track changes and maintain auditability.
• Security-focused: Uses secure, session-based connections with supported communicators to help protect data in transit.
