(ASCII-based) protocol, but with the *OmniLink* protocol you are able to arm
with zones open, provided Force-Arming is enabled. That wasn't always the
case, because I remember trying it several years ago and it didn't work.
At that time (around 2001, give or take a year) I called HAI's tech
support and was told you couldn't force-arm via RS-232. However, I've
tried it recently and it *does* work.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

there is a bug whereby you cannot arm an Omni (Pro II) system via the serial
prolink protocol if there are any zones not secured. I want to replace my keypad
at the door with a touchscreen, but this door leads out through the garage. When
I leave I like to arm and then shut the garage overhead door on the
way out, but the garage overhead door is a
zone.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></I></P>
