See: Input Points—Custom Point Type (to follow).
Tip: For additional operating details, refer to "Notes /
Attention" at the end of this section.
- Command Type: Whether the command is to
affect area(s), door(s), or system (panel-wide)
aspects.
Tip: Select a command type, and then look under
"Command" to see the available choices.
- Command: The specific action to occur when
the sensor/input is tripped.
Items separated with a slash (/): This performs a
'toggle' operation between the indicated states each
time the sensor/input is tripped.
(Force and Exit Delays): Exit delays means the
affected areas will get an exit delay warning rather
than arming immediately. Force (short for 'force arm')
means if a point is insecure, the area still arms, and
then the point will be reported as 'In Alarm').
Remote RTE: Momentary unlock using the standard
duration.
Challenged RTE: Momentary unlock using the
extended/challenged duration.

- Multiple Panel Command: Whether or not the
command is to affect all panels in the specific
account (versus selecting a specific panel).
Note: For area and door commands, this would
typically be used with the "All" selection. (If you select
a specific door or area number, the command will
affect that area/door number for all panels).
- Area / Door: For area and door commands,
select the target item here.
Without Multiple Panel Command: This lists areas or
doors for each panel (in the panel-order as shown in
the 'tree').
With Multiple Panel Command: This lists area/door
numbers (or "All"), and will affect all panels in the
account.
- Panel: For a single-panel command, select the
panel here.
-------------------------
Blue Text at the Bottom
This shows a reminder of the your selected
command, and the selected panel (if
applicable).
Tip: If a panel is NOT shown, this means the
command will affect all panels (i.e., a 'multi-panel
command').
-------------------------
Notes / Attention:
 Multi-panel and cross-panel commands are routed
through the Director software. As such, the source
and target panels must be communicating with the
Director software when the input/button is tripped.
 Other than issuing the specific action, command-
points are monitored only for 'Tamper' conditions (re:
Transmit, Sonalert, and Siren).
 Command Points are fixed as 'Supervisory'.
