Unattended Download (For Burglary Use Only)

Unattended download allows the control panel to communicate with the download computer without an operator at the
computer. This feature is useful on new installations.
The installer can mount the control, attach a keypad and phone line, and continue to wire the rest of the installation
while the system is automatically downloaded.
If Compass has an account already created, and the panel is defaulted; the installer enters Code #89, enters the
unattended phone number, account number, primary phone number, and then triggers the unattended call. The panel
calls and connects to Compass; then Compass does an upload, followed by a download of the existing account data (if this
option has been selected at the station – otherwise Compass will disconnect).
If Compass does not have an account already created, and the panel is defaulted; the installer enters Code #89, enters
the unattended phone number, account number, primary phone number, and then triggers the unattended call. The
panel calls and connects to Compass; then Compass does an upload, and disconnects (if this option has been selected at
the station – otherwise Compass will download the default account data). A new account "??????-FFFF" will be created.
For unattended download to work, the Receiver Group and Primary Phone number have to be entered into Compass.
The following items must be programmed for unattended download:
The account number (field
•
Primary central station telephone number (field

The download telephone number (field

Getting On-Line with a Control Panel

At the protected premises, the control panel must be connected to the existing telephone line (refer to the SECTION 3:
Installing the Control). No programming of the panel is required before downloading to an initial installation unless you
are performing an unattended download.
When establishing a connection between the computer and the control panel, the following occurs:
Stage What Happens
1 The computer calls up the control panel. (The phone number for each customer must be entered into the
customer's account file on the computer.)
2 The control panel answers the phone call at the pre-programmed ring count and executes a handshake with
the computer.
3 The computer sends a request for callback to the control, unless callback is not required.
4 The panel acknowledges the request and hangs up. During the next few seconds, the control processes the
request, making sure certain encrypted information received from the computer matches its own memory.
5 Upon a successful match, the control panel seizes the phone line and calls the computer back, unless
callback is not required. (The phone number to which the computer's modem is connected must be
programmed into the control field
6 The computer answers, usually by the second ring, and executes a handshake with the panel.
7 The panel then sends other default information to the computer. If this information matches the computer's
information, a successful link is established. The system is now "on-line" with the computer.
