Time Synchronization on DSC
Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2023 12:34 pm
Hi All,
Sort a newbie question.
My configuration: DUO, DSC P1832, 4 LCD PK5500 Keypads.
Installation and configuration went very smoothly. Note, I did not set the time and date on the panel after power up. The keypads displayed blank time and date.
I did change Installer/Master/User codes.
Next morning the date and time were set to correct values.
I can only assume the DUO set the time and date as I now see in section "6.4.6.6. Auto-Time Updates (DSC Only)" of user manual.
It is my understanding that the time and dates can only be set on the DSC panel/keyboard using the master code.
Is the DUO recording the master code as it was entered on the keypad using the Keybus that it is connected to?
If this is the case it would be a possible security concern.
Can anyone explain how Auto-Time works?
