Downloading To The Communicator; Uploading From The Communicator - Fire-Lite 411UD Manual

Downloading to the Communicator

Central Station Acknowledge
There is an option whereby the communicator will report to one or both Central Stations that a request for upload-
ing or downloading has been received prior to processing the call. This is called the 'callback' option. If the Cen-
tral Station(s) does not acknowledge receipt of this request, uploading or downloading is prohibited. If
acknowledged by the Central Station(s), another message is transmitted informing the Central Station(s) that:
• downloading was successful
• uploading was successful
• uploading/downloading was not successful
Data Protection/Integrity
Programming data is completely verified for accuracy prior to reprogramming of the 411UD EEPROM. Incom-
plete or corrupted data packets are ignored or retried.

and green Modem LEDs are off.
Once an incoming call is accepted/answered by the communicator, the 411UD will:

Uploading From the Communicator

Items that may be uploaded from the communicator to a Service Terminal are:
• All or portions of programmed data plus the real time clock
• Troubleshoot system voltages in real-time or as a 'snapshot'
• Current system status in real-time continuous or as a 'snapshot'
Uploading is possible at any time provided the following conditions are true:
The communicator may be in any mode of operation. Uploading is not possible if the communicator is
active or while testing the phone lines while in Troubleshoot Mode.
There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station receiver.
All active events must be successfully 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s). The communicator must be
in a standby state with no new information waiting to be transmitted to a Central Station.
