Advanced Programming Tips
ID# FF(255) is the Global Default
When you set a Keypad’s ID # you enable an RS-232 message to be sent to this specific keypad without affecting any
other keypad. However, the keypad will still respond to any message from the CT Receiver with the FF|255 prefix.
FF|255 is the default and cannot be deactivated.This is very useful, since the CT Receiver keypad status messages are
sent with the FF|255 prefix.Thus, you can set a keypad’s ID# to enable RS-232 Macros to be sent to a specific key-
pad, but the keypad will still respond to the normal keypad status messages sent by the receiver whenever a zone
input is changed by a remote control, the front panel or another keypad.

Sending Messages To A CK1.1 Via RS-232
Creating an RS-232 command to control the Keypad is simple. The message has start with a parenthesis, each param-
eter is separated from the next with a comma and you must end the last parameter with a semi-colon and a closing
parenthesis. You can instruct any keypad or all of them to:

Jump to a Specific Page for Display Purposes:
1 Jump to the Main Menu, Page 1 or Page 2
2 Jump to any Device, Page 1, 2, 3 or 4
3 Jump to FAV, Page 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
TRIGGER an IR Command or Macro to be EXECUTED:
1 Jump to the Main Menu, Page 1 or 2; then a Button
2 Jump to any Device, Page 1, 2, 3 or 4; then a Button
3 Jump to the FAV, Page 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5; then a Button
Need for Delay Between Messages
The CK1.1 needs a short delay to digest an RS-232 string. Do not send more than one string every 1/2 second for
jump commands. For Button Execute commands, be aware that while the keypad is executing a macro, it will ignore
any RS-232 messages sent to it.
