Direct-Wire Downloading
The VISTA-50P/VISTA-50PUL can be downloaded
without using a modem or telephone line by using a
4100SM Serial Module and Compass Downloading
Software. The direct-wire downloading connection is to
be temporary, and is not part of the permanent
installation. Direct-wire downloading is meant as a tool
for the installer during the installation process.
The connections between the control and the
4100SM are different than those shown in the
4100SM Installation Instructions. See Figure 7-
1 for the correct connections. In addition, in
place of the green wire, referred to in step 2 of
the "IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY" section of the
4100SM Instructions, use the violet wire
instead.
Telco Handoff
Telco handoff is another method of getting on-line with the downloader. The installer or customer enters the User Code
+ [#] + [1], while on the phone line with the computer's modem phone line. The customer will get cut-off and the panel
and download computer will establish a connection.

Connector J8 on the main PC board (see the Summary
of Connections diagram on the inside back cover of this
manual) is intended to be interfaced to either a local
serial printer (see SECTION 3:Installing the Control) or
a computer. Make connections to a computer as shown
below. Note that the violet wire connection for a
computer differs from that used when connecting
a serial printer.
