Duress Code and Panic Switch - Best practices... Help

[mjpcomp]

When setting up the Duress Code User, do we need to give them "Arm" and/or "Disarm" authorization, or is that part of the Duress code function (it will arm/disarm as needed, but trigger the silent alarm)?

Basically, I want to ensure that:
1 - System is ARMED, user is forced to enter code and they enter Duress code. It will DISARM system and still send silent alarm.
2 - System is DISARMED, user is forced to enter code and they enter Duress code. It will ARM system and still send silent alarm.

Also, has anyone toyed around with scripted events to trigger a silent alarm? We don't have panic switches or anything like that run, but would like to make sure that there are "hidden" methods to trigger. For example - opening and closing an office door 5 times within 3 seconds, or something like that. Or opening a set of doors in a hallway in a certain sequence... Basically, ways to trigger a silent alarm without having to rerun wiring for switches, or go to a keypad.

Thanks!

You must enable a Duress code to arm and disarm and also the Duress Reporting Code to be transmitted to the central station.

So in the user code section within ElkRP, I must make sure that ARM, DISARM, and DURESS are checked, right?

P.S. Thanks for the quick response!
