•

•
Command relays/triggers to activate and de-activate.
Access Security
Accessing the Control from a remote location is protected against compromise by the use of 4 levels of protection:
•
Security Code Handshake: The subscriber's account number as well as an 8-digit ID number (known only to the
office) must be matched between the Control and computer.
•
Hang-Up and Call-Back: The Control panel will "hang-up" and call the computer back at the pre-programmed
number only if the security codes match.
•
Data Encryption: All data that is exchanged between the computer and Control is encrypted to reduce the
possibility of anyone "tapping" the line and corrupting data. Additionally, all account files are encrypted to prevent
them from being opened on another installer's COMPASS downloading software package.
•
Operator Access Levels: Up to 15 operators can have access to the DOWNLOADER, each having their own log-on
code. However, each operator can be assigned one of three levels of access in both FILE and COMMAND functions,
as follows:
File Access
Read Only: able only to look at the database; cannot change any information, and cannot see the customer's access
codes.
Part Read/Write: able to look at and change all information, except the customer's access codes.
Full Read/Write: able to look at and change any and all information in the database.
Control/Comm Access
Read Only: able only to Upload and arm the system. Not able to DISARM, BYPASS, or change any information.
Part Read/Write: able to ARM, BYPASS, UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD but cannot shutdown the system.
Full Read/Write: able to perform all control and status commands, as well as shutdown all or part of the system.
Connecting a 4100SM Module for Direct Wire Downloading
The Control can be downloaded without using a modem or telephone line by using COMPASS Software and a 4100SM
Serial Module. The direct wire downloading connection is to be temporary, and is not part of the permanent installation.
Direct wire downloading is meant as a tool for the installer during the installation process.
The connections between the Control and the 4100SM are different than those shown in the
4100SM Installation Instructions. See Figure 7-1 for the correct connections. In addition, when the
"green" wire is referred to in step 2 of the IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY section of the 4100SM Instructions,
use the "violet" wire.
Connector J8, located above connector J7 on the right hand side of the main PC board (see the Summary of Connections
Diagram on the inside back cover of this manual), is intended to be interfaced to either a local serial printer or a
computer. Make connections to a computer as shown below. Note that the violet wire connection for a computer
differs from that used when connecting a serial printer.
