Section 8: T-Link Operation

8.1

Remote Control

The panel and the DLS software will control this function. The module will be a conduit for the
information. Commands can be sent from the DLS or SA software to allow control of the
panel; Arm/Disarm, Bypass/Un-Bypass, Status Request.
NOTE: New DLS-3 and System Administrator drivers are required for the PC5020 v3.2 and
PC4020 v3.31. These drivers can be downloaded free from dsc.com/dls3drivers.htm. DLS-3
and System Administrator can communicate directly to the T-Link TL250 module. The DLS
software can be used with UL Listed installations only when service personnel are on-site.
8.2

Programming

The T-Link TL250/TL300 can be programmed remotely or locally with the T-Link Console
Software via the ethernet connection or locally with the T-Link console via the serial port. Pro-
gramming can also be done through the control panel when connected to a PC4020 or PC5020.
TL250 programming cannot be done using DLS software.
NOTE: On a default unit the T-Link can be reached from the console at IP 192.168.0.99 with a
subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 on port 3064.
8.3

IP Address

Each T-Link on the same network node must have a unique IP address. This system is com-
patible with any device that masks the IP address of the originating device. Dynamic
addressing (DHCP) can also be used with the TL250.
For remote programming, the IP must be known by the T-Link console or the DLS/SA com-
puter(s). For this reason, DSC recommends a Static IP or setting up the DHCP server to
always license the same IP to the T-Link based on its MAC address.
8.4

Port Usage Table

NOTE: Confirm with the network administrator that the following ports are locked open and
that the SG-DRL3-IP has network access for all required network segments.
