Zones Introduction
The Zones tab within Data Entry is where users create and manage zones and zone information assigned to subscriber accounts. Zones function as alarm signal masking. When the panel relays signaling information, users can create zones within Matrix to ensure the proper alarm signal is received and handled accordingly.
The available sub-tabs allow users to define zone and signaling information on the account. These tabs are briefly defined below.
Please Note: Users can also define zones on the Dealer level. When assigned to dealers, the zones will automatically apply to all accounts assigned to that dealer. See the Dealer Maintenance documentation for more information on managing Dealers.
