Getting On-Line with a Control Panel
At the protected premises, the Control panel must be connected to the existing telephone line
(refer to the System Communication section). No programming of the panel is required
before downloading to an initial installation.
To download, do the following:
Step
Action
1
Enter the [Installer Code] + [#] + [5]. The panel temporarily enables a ring
count of 5 and sets the Download Callback option to "1" (callback not required).
2
Call the panel using the downloader software set to "First Communication"
Mode.
The downloader will establish a session with no callback. The panel information
can then be downloaded.
3
The downloader will establish a session with no callback. The panel information
can then be downloaded.
a.
The computer calls up the control panel. (The phone number for each
customer is entered into the customer's account file on the computer.)
b.
The control panel "answers" at the pre-programmed ring count and executes
a handshake with the computer.
c.
The computer sends a request for callback to the control, unless callback is
not required.
d.
The panel acknowledges the request and hangs up. During the next few
seconds, the control will process the request, making sure certain encrypted
information received from the computer matches its own memory.
e.
Upon a successful match, the control panel will seize the phone line and call
the computer back, unless callback is not required. (The phone number to
which the computer’s modem is connected must be programmed into the
control field
∗
35.)
f.
The computer answers, usually by the second ring, and executes a handshake
with the panel.
g.
The panel then sends other default information to the computer. If this
information matches the computer's information, a successful link is
established. This is known as being “On-line.”
•
Alarms and Trouble responses and reports are disabled during actual uploading or
downloading sessions. If you are on-line, but not actively uploading or downloading, all alarms
will report immediately. All other reports will be delayed until you complete the session.
•
The keypads remain active when on-line with a control, but are inactive during actual uploading
or downloading sessions.
On-Line Control Functions
The following functions can be performed while on-line with a control panel:
•
Arm the system in the AWAY Mode; disarm the system
•
Bypass a zone
•
Force the system to accept a new program download
•
Shut down communication (dialer) functions (non-payment of monitoring fees in an
owned system)
