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 USB or 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 Model 5860 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.
