The following two options define how the control
panel answers an incoming call from a computer
using the Upload/Download Software.

13.1.1 Answering Machine Override

When using Upload/Download Software to
communicate remotely with an installation site that
uses an answering machine or service, the
answering machine override must be programmed.
Using the Upload/Download Software, call the
installation site and on the second ring press the
“Enter” key on the keyboard to hang-up. After
hanging up, the Upload/Download Software will
immediately call the installation site back. The value
(00-15 X 4 seconds) programmed in section 

[451]

represents the delay period the control panel will
wait between the first and second call. If the
installation site is called back within the programmed
delay period, the control panel will override the
answering machine or service by picking–up the line
on the first ring. To disable this option program “00”
in section [451].

Example: A security installation is using an
answering machine set to answer after three rings,
section [450] has been programmed with “10” (40
seconds). When you call the installation site with the
Upload/Download Software the first time, wait two
rings and press “Enter” on the keyboard. The
Upload/Download Software will immediately call the
installation site back. If the second call is made
within 40 seconds, the control panel will pick up the
line on the first ring. If it takes more than 40
seconds, the control panel will not answer on the
first ring and the answering machine will answer
after three rings.

13.1.2 Number of Rings

The value (01-15, 000=disabled) programmed in
section 

[452]

 represents the number of rings the

control panel will wait before picking-up the line. If
the line is not answered after the number of
programmed rings, the control panel will answer the
call. Note the control panel resets the “ring” counter
every 10 seconds. Therefore, if there is more than
10 seconds between each ring, the control panel will
reset the counter on the next call.

DENTIFIER

Section [555]

This four-digit code identifies the control panel to the
Upload/Download Software before initiating upload or
download. The control panel will verify if the panel
identifier in the Upload/Download Software is the
same; if the codes do not match, the control panel will
not establish communication. Therefore, be sure to
program the same panel identifier into both the
Digiplex Control Panel and the Upload/Download
Software. To program the Panel Identifier, key in the
desired 4-digit hexadecimal number into section 

[555]

13.3 PC P

ASSWORD

Section [556]

This four-digit password identifies the PC to the panel,
before beginning the download process. Program the
same PC Password into both the Digiplex Control
Panel and the Upload/Download Software. If the
passwords do not match, the Upload/Download
Software will not establish communication. To program
the PC Password, enter the desired 4-digit
hexadecimal number into section 

[556]
