Keypad ID Setup

StepDescription
1

To determine if the keypad has the new version of firmware:

  1. On power up, the keypad will give a single "Beep".
  2. The "#" button will cancel the current operation.

Before a ID can be assigned to a keypad, the maintenance PIN must be configured on web site.

  1. Log on to the Comb Web  site
  2. From Organisation → Devices → Quick Action → Components → Tamper 1, enter a Maintenance PIN and save.

Note: Maintenance PIN "0000" will not be accepted by the keypad as a valid code.

To set a keypad ID:

  1. Enter *Maintenance PIN#Keypad ID[*] on the TAP TAP Keypad. 

For example *1234#5*

or

*1234#152

Note: The '*" button is used for codes between 1 and 99. Codes between 100 and 255 do not require the '*' button.

To confirm or check what the keypad ID is:

  1. *0#. The Keypad will beep the number of times for the keypad ID.

Note: The "Beep" count is limited to keypad ID's 1 to 10. 


TAP/TAPEX for MK II P/L

  • Intercom keypad and Channel A are by default TAP (Incoming) channels.
  • Channel B is by default TAPEX (outgoing) channel. 
  • The MKII Plus/Lite system generates a single 5 digit TAP code.
  • This code must first be used for entry before it can be used for exit.
  • If the resident requires only an exit code, the resident will use the word TAPX and the amount required in the SMS to the intercom.


FRX Relay

  • The FRX relay is located in the TAP TAP keypad housing.
  • Selecting this relay on Comb Portal Website disables the intercom relays.
  • The FRX relay will always be triggered if the PIN, TAP and TAPEX codes are entered on the TAP TAP keyboard. 
  • The FRX relay cannot be triggered by a DTMF, remote,CLI or PIN/TAP's entered on the intercom keypad.

Keypad FRX Relay Pulse Time

StepDescription
1

Before the relay pulse time can be set on the keypad, the maintenance PIN must be configured on web site.

  1. Log on to the Comb Web  site.
  2. From Organisation → Devices → Quick Action → Components → Tamper 1, enter a Maintenance PIN and save.

Note: Maintenance PIN "0000" will not be accepted by the keypad as a valid code.

To set the relay pulse time:

  1. Enter *Maintenance PIN#xxx

Where xxx = 300 to 330.

300 = 0.5 seconds

301 = 1 second

302 = 2 seconds 

...

330 = 30 seconds

For example *1234#300 for 0.5 relay pulse time

or
