Downloading - DSC PC2585 Installation Manual

DOWNLOADING

The PC2585 supports DSC's DLS-1 Downloading Software. Refer to the downloading software manual for complete
downloading instructions. The following Programming Sections must be programmed before attempting to download.
Section [16]: Lead-In Code
When the system calls the downloading computer during User Initiated Call-up or Callback functions, the Lead-In
Code will be transmitted to the monitoring station before the downloading computer is called.
Section [16]: Lead-Out Code
When the system hangs up the line to the downloading computer, the Lead-Out Code will be transmitted to the
monitoring station.
Section [21]: User DLS Window
The User DLS Window feature is enabled by turning ON Zone Light 8 in Section [21]. When enabled, pressing and
holding the [9] key for approximately three seconds will cause the system to wait for 60 minutes for the downloading
computer to call.
Section [22]: Downloading Annunciation
Downloading Annunciation is enabled by turning ON Zone Light 6 in Section [22]. When enabled, the keypad will beep
eight times every ten seconds after downloading has been completed, or after a failed attempt at downloading. The
downloading annunciation tone may be silenced by pressing any key on the keypad.
Section [44]: Number of Rings Before Answer and Downloading Configuration
Zone Lights [1] to [4] are programmed to set the number of rings the panel will look for before it answers a call from
the downloading computer.
Zone Light [5] is programmed to enable or disable the control panel for downloading. If downloading is disabled, all
other Programming Sections relating to downloading need not be programmed.
Zone Light [6] enables or disables User Initiated Call-up to the downloading computer.
Zone Light [7] enables or disables the answering machine override option. (Double Call)
Zone Light [8] enables or disables the Call-Back option
Section [46]: Panel Identification Code
A four digit code must be programmed into this section to allow the downloading computer to identify the control panel.
Every system should have a unique Panel Identification Code.
Section [47]: Downloading Access Code
A 4-digit code must be programmed into this section to allow access to the control panel by the downloading computer.
Section [48]: Downloading Computer Telephone Number
If Callback or User-Initiated Call-up is enabled in Section [44], then this section must be programmed with the
telephone number of the downloading computer.
Downloading and Answering Machine
The PC2585 software provides a means to handle downloading when an answering machine is also connected to the
telephone line. In Section [44], if Zone Light 7 is OFF, it is assumed that there is no answering machine connected to
the telephone line and the panel will capture the line after the set number of rings.
If Zone Light 7 is OFF and an answering machine is connected and it is set to answer before the panel, the panel will
be unable to receive a call from a downloading computer. If the panel is set to answer before the answering machine,
the answering machine will be unable to receive incoming messages.
If Zone Light 7 is ON and the panel is called for 1 or 2 rings only and then called again within a variable time of 1 to
255 seconds (set in Section [45]), the panel will then answer the second call on the first ring (Double Call).
Once the panel is connected to a downloading computer, no [ ] functions can be performed. If the [ ] key is pressed
while the panel is connected to a downloading computer, the keypad buzzer will sound one long tone to indicate an error.
Zone Light [8] is programmed to enable or disable callback. If callback is disabled, the downloading computer will
have immediate access to the control panel. The disabled mode is useful if there are multiple downloading computers
(at different telephone numbers). If callback is enabled the downloading computer will call, request access then hang
up and wait for the control panel to call. After the control panel has called back and the downloading computer and
the control panel accept each other as valid, downloading operations are enabled.
Section [45]: Answering Machine Double Call Timer
This timer sets the amount of time that can be taken between calls when using the answering machine over-ride (see
Section [44] Zone Light 7). Valid entries are from 001 to 255 seconds, with the default being 060.
