A device that controls the functions of an ALARM SYSTEM and can act as both an INPUT DEVICE and an OUTPUT DEVICE. The entry of a numeric code sequence will determine the response of the ALARM SYSTEM. It usually consists of a numeric keypad modelled after the standard telephone touchpad.
Generally refers to all hard buttons on a remote control, or more specifically the numeric keypad (0 through 9). See also: jog shuttle, transport, joystick, rocker buttons, backlight, soft buttons.
The ten-key number pad on the keyboard.
A keypad is a small auxiliary keyboard, often used for entering numeric data, for editing, or for similar special functions.
A keyboard type device used for entering a numeric code to ARM or DISARM the ALARM SYSTEM. On keypad there are usually displayed status of zones , c. panel and power.

The portion of a phone that contains touchtone keys.
Strategically placed, keypads allow arming and disarming of system.
a device which uses a numeric pad, similar to that of a telephone. The user simply presses his code into the keypad and the system reads the numbers. This system does not require the user to carry any special card or token but can be less secure since unless the user is very careful someone may see which numbers are being pressed. Certain keypads overcome this drawback by scrambling the number layout each time the keypad is used. Keypads can be used either by themselves or for high security in conjunction with some card reader technology. In this manner the user must both present a card and enter a code before access is granted.
The portion of the arming station containing numbered pushbuttons similar to those on telephones or calculators. These control the arming or disarming of the system. They may also perform other functions.
refers to the "phone keys" used to control various functions from the phone during the conference.

a small keyboard with a 10-key setup for numeric input, or it may also be used as a control for a screen-reader program.
A device used alone, or in conjunction with a reader. Alone, it may be used in two ways: (a) to enter a PIN code to gain access through an access point (b) to enter a key code. A combined reader/keypad unit can be configured to only read an access card when a PIN code is entered. Close Glossary Window
The keypad (called the tablet on some systems) is used to operate the equipment. Included on the keypad are the call set-up buttons, video-control buttons, audio-control buttons and camera-control buttons. Keypads vary with different videoconference systems, but their basic function remains the same.
The push buttons on a mobile phone
Normally refers to the group of numeric keys & calculator functions which are found on the right of most computer keyboards. They are often more convenient to use for spreadsheets, while programs such as Deluxe Paint on the Amiga use them for special perspective drawing functions.
input device which has letters, numbers or symbols on it, like a small keyboard. Numeric keypads allow only numbers to be entered.
The buttons on the handset.
A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block which usually bear digits and other symbols but not a complete set of alphabetical letters. If it mostly contains numbers then it can also be called a numeric keypad. Keypads are found on many alphanumeric keyboards and on other devices such as calculators, combination locks and telephones which require largely numeric input.
