About Remote Programming
The VISTA–10SE can be remotely programmed from an IBM compatible Personal Computer (PC), a modem,
and ADEMCO's Compass Windows downloading software.
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: 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 pre-programmed 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
U L
installation site.

Remote Programming Information
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 (e.g., for non-payment of monitoring fees in an owned system).
