System Information
The System Information page provides a complete overview of a customer’s security panel configuration and communication details. It lists the system name, system type, address associated with the system, panel serial number, account number, firmware version, and more.
You can use this page to view or edit essential system identifiers, confirm firmware levels, and run a test connection to ensure the panel is properly linked to the monitoring center or cloud service.
