10 Communications
Callback: The RP calls the site, the system picks up then hangs up. The system then calls the Callback
telephone number to establish a connection.
Serial Connection: The RP connects directly via the USB port on the communication module (this
method requires installation of the Control System USB Driver).
The following programming options relate to the method in which the Remote Programmer software connects with
the system.
Callback Telephone Number
RP Callback is a security feature that helps ensure that remote programming is only performed by authorized
personnel. When the Remote Programmer contacts the Control System, the Control System hangs up and calls the
Callback telephone number.
To edit the Callback telephone number:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Communications, Remote Prog., Call-Back # [9521].
2.
Enter up to 16 digits. Use the key to enter "*", "#", "," (pause), "T" (switch to DTMF tone dialing), "P"
(switch to pulse dialing) or "+" (international code). Use the key to delete one character at a time.
Press
when you have finished editing.
Note:
If there is no Callback telephone number programmed, RP Callback is disabled and the system
connects to the Remote Programmer software using the "direct call" method.
RP Passcode
The RP passcode is a six-digit code that grants access to remote programming. When establishing an RP connection, the
passcode programmed in the RP customer file on the PC must be identical to the system's RP passcode.
To edit the RP passcode:
1.
From the Programming menu, select Communications, Remote Prog., RP Passcode [9522].
2.
Enter six digits, then press
