General Information
Downloading allows the operator to remotely access, program, and control the security
system over normal telephone lines. Anything that can be done directly from the keypad can
be done remotely, using ADEMCO's COMPASS downloading software. To communicate with
the control panel, the following is required:
1. An IBM PC compatible 486 33MHz PC or better with 30 MB of available hard disk space
and at least 8MB of RAM (12MB is preferred). Windows 3.X, Windows 95, or Windows
NT.
2. One of the following modems:
• Hayes Smartmodem 1200 (external: level 1.2 or higher; internal: level 1.1 or higher)
• Hayes Optima 24 + Fax 96 external
• Hayes Optima 336
• BizComp Intellimodem 1200 w/volume
• BizComp Intellimodem 2400
Other brands are not compatible, even if claimed to be 100% compatible.
3. COMPASS DOWNLOADING software may be purchased from ADEMCO. This software
is available on 3-1/2" diskettes or CD ROM, and includes a complete User's Manual. It
may also be downloaded from the ADEMCO web page. The web address is
http://www.ademco.com.
Internal modems must have a 4-position DIP switch. Modems with a 6-position DIP switch will not
work.
Alternatively, you may use a 4100SM interface module to "direct-wire" the control panel to
your computer at the site.
