Area Status

A grouping of burglary zones that can be simultaneously armed or disarmed. For example, an area might consist of office doors and windows. When arming the area, these zones arm together and if opened, an alarm will sound.

The parent device of an area is always a panel. Zone device types have a panel as a parent device.

Device Status

Area device states include commands and device states. Areas have the following device status values.

  • Armed: Area is armed.

  • Disarmed: Area is disarmed.

  • Disabled: The device remains in the software but no real-time events are displayed. The device can be added back into the software without re-programming it. Only operators can disable a device.

  • Unknown: The state of the area is unknown. State of the device is not known to the system because the parent device is in a state such as unknown, offline, stopped, or failed.
