Downloading

Downloading allows programming of the entire control panel via a computer, modem and telephone line.
All functions and features, changes and status, such as trouble conditions and open zones can be
viewed or programmed by downloading.
When power is applied to the panel, a 6 hour or 1 hour downloading window can be enabled. This will
allow you to perform downloading without having to do any keypad programming.
If the Answering Machine Override option is enabled (or during the first 6 hours after power up) the
panel will answer incoming calls for downloading provided the following conditions 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 for a set
period of time by entering [ ] [6] [Master Code] [5].
If the Full 6-hour User Enabled DLS Window option is enabled, when the user opens the DLS window
with [ ][6][Master code][5], the DLS window will remain open for six hours. The DLS window will remain
open after a successful hang-up from a downloading call. If the One Time 1-hour User Enabled DLS
Window option is enabled, when the user opens the DLS window with [ ][6][Master code][5], the DLS
window will stay open for one hour, and will close after a successful hang-up from a downloading call.
After six hours upon 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 computer 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 possible 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 cellular communicator if the phone line is
disconnected. If using the LINKS1000 with Call Back, you need to program the LINKS1000 Preamble with
the downloading phone number in order for the panel to call the computer correctly.
When downloading labels for LCD keypads, only the LCD keypad assigned to slot 8 will receive the labels.
For more information refer to the Download Manual included with the computer software.

5.9 Partitions / Zone Assignment
A partition is a defined area which will operate independent of another area of the system. The panel can
be divided into two partitions. For example, in an office/warehouse installation it may be necessary to limit
warehouse employees from accessing the office and office employees from accessing the warehouse.
Any zone can be assigned to either, or both partitions. Any Access Code can be assigned to work on
either, or both partitions (See Section 3.4 "[ ] Commands, [ ][5] Programming Access Codes").
Global Zones are zones assigned to both partitions. A common zone will only be armed when both
partitions are armed and will be disarmed when either partition is disarmed.
