1. Enter attribute programming. At the DSC Impassa, enter the command [*] + [5] + [Master Code] + [9]. The default Master Code is 1234.


You will see this screen:


This is showing information for User Code 01. The P to the right of the user number indicates that a code is programmed for this user number. You can use the right arrow to move between user codes, or you can enter in the 2-digit user number you wish to make changes for.


Below is shown a user with no code programmed:


2. Assign the attribute. Once the correct user is displayed, press [*]. You can use the right and left arrow keys to scroll through all of the available attributes. However, if you only plan to change the Duress attribute, you can simply press the number 2. This will toggle the Duress attribute from Off to On and display it on the screen.


The images below show the Duress attribute disabled, then enabled:




3. Exit user programming. When all attributes have been properly programmed, press the [#] key, repeatedly if necessary, until you are returned to normal operation.
