Remote Programming Information
The Control can be remotely programmed from an IBM compatible Personal
Computer (PC), a HAYES Modem, and Ademco's Windows Downloading
Software (as specified below).
Programming the control from a remote location is protected against
compromise by someone attempting to defeat the system, using multi-levels
of security protection:
1. Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be
matched between the control and the downloader .
2. Site-Initiated Remote Programming: The Telco Hand-off feature
allows the technician at the site to call the downloading facility from the
control panel phone line, initiate a site download (Installer or Master
Code + # + 1), and the control will immediately be on-line with the
modem at the downloading facility. Also, if a local computer has a
modem, the telephone line terminals of the control can be connected to
the modem, and a direct download connection can be established with the
new downloader program.
3. Station-Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site
from your office to initiate the download call. The control hangs up and
then calls back the PC via the preprogrammed telephone number. The
unit can then be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled from your office.
The control can also be set for no callback by the downloader.
4. Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the control is
encrypted for security so that it is very difficult for a foreign device
tapped into the phone line to take over communication and substitute
system compromising information.
Downloading is not permissible for UL installations unless an installer is
present at the installation site.
At the premises:
• ADT Control and touchpad.
At the installer's office/home:
• An IBM PC compatible computer.
• Either a HAYES brand SMARTMODEM 1200 [Level 1.2 or higher external
or Level 1.1 or higher (with 4 position DIP switch) internal style], or a
HAYES brand Optima 24 Plus FAX96 Modem.
• Windows Downloading Software (at revision level X.X.X.X. or higher).
• Appropriate interconnecting cables.
The downloading system can perform many functions when in communication
with the control unit. Besides uploading and downloading, the status of the
system can be observed and various commands can be initiated, as follows:
• Arm the System in the Away Mode; Disarm the System.
• Bypass a Zone.
• Shut Down Communication (dialer) Functions (non-payment of monitoring
fees in an owned system).
