All FT1020G3 settings are normally factory downloaded before delivery, default setting is
512 addresses. It is however, possible to upgrade the maximum number of alarm points
(512  1020) on site. Note that the maximum number of COM loop addresses is always
1020, i.e. address 1 – 255 on each COM loop.

request to upgrade the number of addresses is received before manufacturing.
If you require upgrading the number of addresses, a PC and EBLWin are used. Before
download, the PC has to be connected to the USB connector in the Control Unit and the
hardware key is also plugged in. Open EBLWin and the FDCIE where the upgrade is to be
