Possible to suspend an ELK zone via a command?

[ghurty]

Is there a command for the Elk, that would allow CQC to send a command that will basic disable X zones (or even the entire ELK unit). I'm not reffering to disarming an area or bypassing a zone, rather making it that it is as if that zone isnt programmed in (or the entire ELK system is basically off)?

Thank you

You can bypass zones. You can write to the InvokeCmd field a command like this:

ZoneBypass : zname, code

So it's the name of zone (as it's named in CQC) and a security code (the same as what you'd use to log in I presume.) That bypasses the zone at the Elk level.

I don't of anything more extreme than that.

Do you by any chance know, if a zone is bypassed does its status changes still get updated in the ELK panel?

[Dean Roddey]

I dunno about that. An actual Elk user would probably have to comment on that one.

The PhysZone status would be in the bypassed state wouldn't it? Versus Normal, Violated, etc. The LogZone field would still probably respond the same.
