to the remote host controller to which the keypad is connected.
NOTE: You do not need to use SmartKey discovery if you already added a device using a valid SmartKey ID number. If the device shows
a valid status, {ok}, in the SmartKey Devices tab, it is already on line and discovery is not necessary.
