6.3 Programming Using the 5660 Silent Knight Software
Suite
You can use the 5660 Silent Knight Software Suite (SKSS) to program the control panel onsite or remotely.
SKSS is an optional software package that lets you easily program the control panel using a Windows-based
computer and a modem* (not sold by Silent Knight). When using SKSS, you can set up the programming options
for the panel, save the options in a file, then download the file to the panel. You connect to the control panel
directly using the control panel’s onboard serial port or remotely using a modem. If you need to connect to an
older control panel that does not have a USB port, and your laptop does not have a serial port, use a USB to serial
converter. SKSS includes an Online help system and a manual. See the SKSS manual (PN 151240) for more
information.
* See Section 1.3 for a list of modems that have been tested for compatibility with the control panel and SKSS.
6.4 Programming Using an Annunciator
You can program the control panel from a system annunciator, using either the control panel’s on-board
annunciator or a remote annunciator.
The following subsections describe programming basics, including a description of editing keys available for
programming and how to move through programming menus. Section 7 contains specific information about
individual programming options.
6.4.1 Entering / Exiting the Program Menu
To enter the Program Mode:
1. Press or ENTER to display the main menu.
2. Enter the installer code if requested.
3. Select 7 for Program Menu.
The menus described in Section 7 of this manual will display. Section 7.6 of this manual is a quick reference
listing all programmable options and JumpStart defaults.
To Exit Program Mode:
When you have completed working with the menus, press Left Arrow button several times until you are exited
from programming mode. Two prompts will display. The first prompt is to make sure you intended to leave the
Program Menu (select Yes or No as appropriate). The second prompt is for accepting all changes. If you select
No, any changes you have made since you entered the Program Menu will have no effect.
