Downloading Options
Downloading
Downloading allows programming of the entire control panel via
a computer, modem and telephone line. All functions and fea-
tures, 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
during the first 6 hours after power up) the panel will answer
incoming calls for downloading provided the following condi-
tions 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
computer 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 by entering [*][6][Master
Code][5].
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
Downloading via the PC-Link, enter [ ] [8] [Installer's Code]
[499] [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".
Downloading can also be performed through the LINKS1000 cel-
lular communicator if the telephone line is disconnected. If using
the LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need to program the
LINKS1000 Preamble with the downloading telephone number
in order for the panel to call the computer correctly.
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 the LCD5500 keypad on the
system should be assigned to slot 8.
