use the ProLink (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></i></p>

whereby you cannot arm an Omni (Pro II) system via the serial prolink protocol

like to arm and then shut the garage overhead door on the way out,
