Abstract:
1. A security programming system for installing and programming a network interface module to interact with a security system from a computing device connected over a network with the network interface module, the security programming system comprising: a server adapted to communicate with the computing device; a network interface module scanning application located on the server and accessible through a browser of the computing device, network interface module scanning application automatically locating network interface modules on the network and providing a list of located network interface modules on the network; user interface components located on the server and accessible through the browser of the computing device to enable selection of a newly installed network interface module participating in the security system from the list of located network interface modules automatically generated by the network interface module scanning application and to enable selection of a security system application program for the selected newly installed network interface module; and at least one programming application located on the server for programming the selected newly installed network interface module to operate within the security system, wherein activation of the programming application is accomplished through one of a selectable and a fill-in option from the user browser of the computing device, the selected and programmed network interface module providing communication between the security system and at least one of the server and a monitoring center via the network, wherein the user interface components include an application selection component to permit a user to enter an application ID corresponding to the security system, and wherein the network interface module scanning application and the at least one programming application are automatically sent from the server to the computing device in response to the user entering a valid application ID.
