Hi,

Just a quick question which I hope someone can help with.  Basically when I arm the system to Away Mode using the keypad I get the beeps on the siren which is great for me. However, when I arm to Away Mode using the visonic wireless keyfob I don\'t get any beeps on the siren at all.  My question is how do I get the beeps on the siren when I use the keyfob to arm to away mode?  Having a look at the responses, they keyfob response is \'AutoArm AwayMode\' but the keypad is using \'KeySwitchArm AwayMode\'.  Whats the difference between KeySwitchArm and AutoArm and how does this effect the beeps???

Thanks for your help.

\"Key arm Away Mode\" and \"Autoarm Away Mode\" have different behaviours

Key Arm away mode is for arming from the home, where you have to exit from the enrty door, open zones are announced, and the bell will chirp two times.

AutoArm  Away Mode assumes you are not in the home. Open zones will be automatically bypassed and the bell /siren does not sound

If you are using the keyfob from outside the house you may need to use Autoarm, as you may not know if there are any open zones unless you uncheck \"Disable Arming Voice on Door Station\" which will allow the arming announcements to be heard on the door station

Thanks for the reply ident.  Is there a way in Comfigurator to make AutoArm Away Mode bell chirp two times?
In Security Types > Siren Types see Night Armed Siren Type, set BELL to YES. However this means the when you arm to night mode, the bell will chirp as well
