6.2 Transferring a Program

The first time that the control panel is downloaded, a secret code is loaded in by a Service Terminal. Future upload or download requests
cause verification of the secret code by the control panel before processing of data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the control
panel will terminate the request.
While the control panel is communicating with the Service Terminal, one of the DACT's red phone line active LEDs will turn on steady.
In order to download the panel, the following must be true:
The control panel must be in the Normal Mode of operation. Downloading is not possible if the panel is in any other mode.
There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station receiver.
All active events must be successfully 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s). The communicator must be in a standby state with no
new information waiting to be transmitted to a Central Station.
6.2.1 Security Features
Upload and download with the control panel have been carefully designed to include key security features to ensure proper functionality.
Any time a transfer is initiated, the control panel and the Service Terminal will communicate and transfer data before contacting a Central
Station. When the data transfers are completed and the control panel disconnects from the Service Terminal, the control panel will call the
Central Station and report one of the following conditions:
• Upload/Download request received
• Upload and/or Download request successful
• Upload/Download failed
The key features are listed and explained in the following sections.

Time-out at Control Panel

Upon answering an incoming call on the primary Central Station phone line, the control panel will listen for a modem connection signal. If
this signal is not received within 50 seconds, the control panel will disconnect the call. Upon successful connection (secret code verified), if
no communication occurs within 30 minutes, the panel will disconnect the call. Upon time-out, transfer activity will be reported to the Cen-
tral Station (if enabled) and the connection will be terminated.

Error Checking

As each block of data is received by the control panel, it is checked for accuracy. If an error is detected, the block is retransmitted until cor-
rect, up to a maximum of four times. If the Secret Code is not verified and four errors occur, the call is disconnected and the report that the
upload/download was not successful is called to the Central Station(s).

Central Station Data Protection

The primary and secondary Central Station phone numbers, communications format, account code, test time and programmable event codes
are vital Central Station information. These blocks of data are protected from partial programming due to faulty phone connections, line
noise and other errors. This prevents the panel from being confused due to a wrong phone number, account code, test time and most critical
formatting errors.
