Programming with a Computer  
The AE-500’s built-in programming interface can be accessed on-site  
(using a separate telephone line) or off-site using a computer with a  
modem and any Internet browser (if using Netscape, be sure Java is  
installed).The AE-500 can be programmed using the local keypad or with  
a telephone, but computer programming is the easiest method.  
the Internet will find programming the AE-500 with a computer very easy.  
The AE-500’s memory contains the “pages” that the computer will view.  
When selections and changes are made on the computer, the AE-500’s  
memory is programmed to your custom settings.  
The following screen pictures show setting up a “Dial-up” connection in  
Windows™ XP and how to connect with a single AE-500. To create “Dial-  
up” connections for multi-unit installations, see the next page.  
Navigating through the AE-500’s programming “pages” is similar to  
browsing through your favorite web site’s pages. Anyone familiar with

Setting up Multiple Units  
The system supports up to seven AE-500s connected to the same telephone line.  
Some telephone systems may only support up to four units on the same telephone  
line. In multiple-unit installations each AE-500 must be assigned a unique unit  
number before programming. The unit number allows connecting to a specific unit  
when calling for programming. One unit must be assigned as Unit #1.  
SETTING A UNIT NUMBER  
PPN 71  
71#UNIT#  
NOTE: If this is a multi-unit installation, the installation company most  
likely has already set the unit numbers.The following programming step is  
shown for reference.  
UNIT = UNIT NUMBER (1-7) FOR MULTI-UNIT INSTALLATION  
To set a unit’s number perform the following steps on each AE-500 unit  
connected to the same telephone line.  
FACTORY SETTING: UNIT NUMBER 1  
1. If not already in Programming Mode, use the local keypad to enter the  
master password and access programming.  
2. Press:  
3. Enter the unit number (1-7).  
4. Press  
5. Exit Programming Mode.  
Multiple Unit Installation Programming Information  
To computer program multi-unit installations that use the same telephone line,  
each unit will require a separate “Dial-up” connection.  
Creating a Connection for Each Unit  
1. Start creating a “Dial-up” connections for each unit as described on  
Page 13.  
2. When the “New Connection Wizard” asks for the “Connection Name”  
(Step #6 in the Page 13 figure) enter a unique name for the specific unit.  
Example:AE-500 Unit #2”  
3. When the “New Connection Wizard” asks for the “Phone Number to Dial”  
(Step # 7 in the Page 13 figure) enter the common telephone number for the  
multi-unit installation followed by four commas, the unit number, and a #.  
Example:555-1234,,,,2#”  
NOTE: Each comma adds a 2-second delay to the dialing process.  
Depending on the time required by the telephone system to make a  
connection to the AE-500, more or less commas might be required.  
4. When the “New Connection Wizard” is finished, a desktop icon named for  
each AE-500 unit will be created on the computer.  
To connect to a specific unit for programming, double-click on the desktop icon  
named for the unit.  
Copying Data from One Unit to Another  
If multiple units will be sharing the same programming information, data from one  
unit can be copied to another. A backup file is created in this process to make  
copies. For security, backing up a unit’s data is always a good idea.  
1. After entering the Resident Data, Media Data, and programming options  
for the first unit, click “Utilities”, then “Data Backup”. Click “Save” at the  
XML warning window then select a file to save to.  
2. After the data backup is complete, disconnect from the first unit, then re-  
connect to the unit to copy the data to.  
3. From the home page, click “Utilities”, then “Load Factory Defaults”. When  
complete, click “Data Restore” and browse for the file to copy. Select the  
file and click “Upload” to send the file to the unit.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always load the factory defaults into a unit before  
performing data restore. Otherwise, the unit’s data may become corrupted.  
4. Make any other unit-specific programming changes before disconnecting.

Programming Over the Telephone  
The system can be programmed using a TouchTone™ telephone. The  
telephone’s keypad will act similar to the AE-500’s local keypad.  
1. CALL THE SYSTEM  
Connecting with a Telephone  
1. Place a call to the telephone number of the line that AE-500 is  
connected to.  
2. The AE-500 will answer and sound a tone for about ½ second.  
3. After the tone, enter the master password, then press # (factory  
setting is 123456, your installer may have set a new password).  
If the password is correct, the system will sound two short beeps.  
For multi-unit installations, enter the unit number then #  
before entering the password.  
2. WAIT FOR THE TONE TO FINISH  
3. ENTER THE MASTER PASSWORD  
THEN PRESS #  
(TWO BEEPS SOUND WITH THE  
CORRECT PASSWORD)  
NOTE: FOR MULTI-UNIT INSTALLATIONS,  
ENTER THE UNIT NUMBER THEN # BEFORE  
ENTERING THE PASSWORD THEN #  
4. Programming commands can now be entered from the telephone’s  
keypad. Refer to the following sections of this manual for  
programming step details.  
When programming over the telephone, each programming step consists  
of entering programming data using the keypad. The system will sound  
beeps over the telephone to indicate correct or incorrect entries.  
• After a correct entry, two short beeps will sound.  
• After an incorrect entry, a long beep will sound.  
• After the complete programming step has been entered correctly,  
three short beeps will sound.  
WHEN ENTERING COMMANDS:

Entry Code Programming  
An entry code is a number entered at the AE-500 keypad or remote keypad to request  
access. Up to 500 entry codes can be set. Entry codes can be from two to six digits in length  
(all will be the same length).  
• When an entry code is programmed to activate a specific relay, the selected relay will  
activate when the code is entered on either the AE-500 keypad or the remote keypad.  
• When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a remote keypad is  
attached, Relay Channel “Awill activate if the entry code is entered on the AE-500 keypad;  
Relay Channel “B” will activate if the entry code is entered on the remote keypad.  
Entry codes can be programmed for timed or toggle operation. Timed relays activate for a  
programmed length of time. Toggle relays latch on until the next time a toggle entry code is  
entered, then the relay unlatches. Each entry code can also be set for a limited or unlimited  
number of uses.  
• When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, and a remote keypad is not  
attached, the entry code will activate both Relay Channels “A” and “B”.  
An entry code will activate Relay Channel “A” or “B” depending on how the entry code is  
programmed and whether or not a remote keypad is attached:  
When an entry code is programmed to activate both relays, only timed relay mode is  
available for that code, toggle relay mode is unavailable.  
Changing the Entry Code Length  
The factory setting for the entry code length is 4 digits. It can be set to 2-6 digits.
