5.6 Downloading Options

Downloading

Downloading allows programming of the entire control panel via a
computer, modem and telephone line. All functions and features,
changes and status, such as trouble conditions and open zones
can be viewed or programmed by downloading.
NOTE: When power is applied to the panel, a 6 hour download-
ing window can be enabled. This will allow you to perform down-
loading without having to do any keypad programming.
NOTE:
When an event occurs that the system is programmed to
communicate to the central station, the panel will disconnect from
the downloading computer and report the event. This will happen
for all events except test transmissions.
If the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled (or dur-
ing the first 6 hours after power up) the panel will answer incom-
ing calls for downloading provided the following conditions occur:
1. The panel hears one or two rings then misses a ring.
2. At this point the panel will start a timer.
3. If the panel hears another ring before the Answering
Machine Double Call Timer expires it will answer on the
first ring of the second call.
The panel will immediately go on line and begin the download
process unless the Call Back option is enabled. If enabled, the
panel and computer will both hang up. The panel will then call the
Download Computer Telephone Number and wait for the com-
puter to answer. Once the computer answers downloading will
begin.
If the User Enabled DLS Window option is ON, the user can
activate the downloading feature for a set period of time by enter-
ing [*][6][Master Code][5].
If the Full 6-hour User Enabled DLS Window option is enabled,
when the user opens the DLS window with [*][6][Master code][5],
the DLS window will remain open for six hours. The DLS window
will remain open after a successful hang-up from a downloading
call. If the One Time 1-hour User Enabled DLS Window option
is enabled, when the user opens the DLS window with [*][6][Mas-
ter code][5], the DLS window will stay open for one hour, and will
close after a successful hang-up from a DLS call.

ON No Tamp Alarm Comm when Disarmed. In order to decrease the undesired event communication
to the monitoring station the installer will have a toggle option with which the tamper alarm event
communication can be controlled. Implementation of the options 8 in Programming Sections [382] –
Third Communicator Options Code - shall allow the installer to disable or enable the tamper alarm
communication in the disarmed state of the system by toggling between "No Tamp Alarm Commu-
nication when Disarmed" and "Tamper Alarms Communicated Always" options. This option is not
partitionable in the PC1864 v1.0 panel.

ing station.

ON Answering Machine Override Enabled. The system will answer calls for downloading if a successful
Double call routine is detected. Have the downloading computer call the system and let the telephone
line ring once or twice. After 1 or 2 rings, hang up. If called back within the programmed Double Call
Time (000-255 seconds), the panel will answer on the first ring.
OFF Answering Machine Override Disabled. The system will not answer incoming calls using the Dou-
ble Call routine unless the User enables the DLS window. This option can be enabled by turning Option

44
Six hours after power up, the panel will not answer incoming calls
unless the Answering Machine/Double Call option is enabled,
or the Number of Rings is programmed to be more than [0].
If the User Initiated Call-Up option is enabled, the user can have
the panel initiate a call to the downloading computer by pressing
[*][6][Master Code][6].
The Download Access Code and Panel Identifier Code are for
security and proper identification. Both the panel and the com-
puter file should have the same information programmed before
attempting to download.
The time to complete a successful download can be significantly
reduced with the use of the PC-Link. This adaptor makes it possi-
ble to perform on-site downloading. To Initiate Local Download-
ing via the PC-Link, enter [
[Installer's Code] [499]. All keypads will be busy for the duration of
the PC-Link connection. The status LEDs will display the current
system status on the keypad where the PC-Link was initiated. For
more information on connecting the PC-Link, refer to your "PC-
Link Download Kit Instruction Sheet".
NOTE: When uploading labels from LCD keypads, the DLS soft-
ware will receive the labels only from the LCD keypad assigned to
slot 8. In addition, version 1.0 and version 2.0 LCD keypads are not
compatible on the same system. For more information refer to the
Download Manual included with the computer software.
NOTE:
The most recent version of LCD keypad on the system
should be assigned to slot 8.
If the Auto Event Buffer Upload option is enabled, after the
panel has communicated the "Event Buffer 75% Full" event to
central station, the panel will call downloading computer. The
DLS-3 software will then upload the event buffer. The telephone
number of the downloading computer must be programmed for
this feature to work.
