DIGIPLEX CONTROL PANEL 45
15 WINLOAD SOFTWARE
15.1 ANSWERING MACHINE OVERRIDE
SECTION [451]
When using WinLoad to communicate remotely with an installation
site that uses an answering machine or service, the Answering
Machine Override must be programmed. Using WinLoad, call the
installation site and on the second ring press the [ENTER] key on
the keyboard to hang up or hang up manually. After hanging up,
WinLoad will immediately call the installation site back or call the
site back manually. The value (00 to 15 X 4 seconds) programmed
in section [451] represents the delay period the control panel will
wait between the first and second call. If the installation site is
called back within the programmed delay period, the control panel
will override the answering machine or service by picking-up the
line on the first ring. To disable this option program 00 in section
[451]. Also, see section 15.2.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set
to answer after three rings and section [450] has been
programmed with 10 (10 x 4 = 40 seconds). When you call the
installation site with WinLoad the first time, wait two rings and
press [ENTER] on the keyboard. WinLoad will immediately call the
installation site back. If the second call is made within 40 seconds,
the control panel will pick-up the line on the first ring. If it takes
more than 40 seconds, the control panel will not answer on the first
ring and the answering machine will answer after three rings.
15.2 RING COUNTER
SECTION [452]
The value (01 to 15, 00 = disabled) programmed in section [452]
represents the number of rings the control panel will wait before
picking-up the line. If the line is not answered after the number of
programmed rings, the control panel will answer the call. The
control panel resets the Ring Counter every 10 seconds.
Therefore, if there is more than 10 seconds between each ring, the
control panel will reset the counter on the next call. Also, see
section 15.1.
15.3 PANEL IDENTIFIER
SECTION [555]
This four-digit code identifies the control panel to WinLoad before
initiating upload or download. The control panel will verify if the
panel identifier in WinLoad is the same. If the codes do not match,
the control panel will not establish communication. Therefore,
program the same Panel Identifier into both the Digiplex Control
Panel and WinLoad. To program the Panel Identifier, key in the
desired 4-digit hexadecimal number into section [555].
15.4 PC PASSWORD
SECTION [556]
This four-digit password identifies the computer running the
WinLoad software to the panel before beginning the download
process. Program the same PC Password into both the Digiplex
control panel and WinLoad. If the passwords do not match,
WinLoad will not establish communication. To program the PC
Password, enter the desired four-digit hexadecimal number into
section [556].
15.5 PC TELEPHONE NUMBER
SECTION [560]
The control panel will dial this number when trying to initiate
communication with a computer using WinLoad. You can enter any
digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or functions (see Table3,
Special Telephone Number Keys, on page31) up to a maximum of
32 digits into section [560].
15.6 CALL WINLOAD
Press and hold the [0] key, enter the [INSTALLER CODE] and press
[FORCE] to dial the PC Telephone Number programmed in section
[560] to communicate with WinLoad. The control panel and
WinLoad will verify that the Panel Identifier and the PC Password
match before establishing communication.
15.7 ANSWER WINLOAD
To perform on-site upload/downloading, connect your computer
directly to the control panel using an ADP-1 line adapter. In
WinLoad set Dialing Condition to Blind Dial. Program the panel
telephone number in WinLoad and follow the ADP-1 Adapter‘s
instructions. When the computer has dialed, press and hold the [0]
key, enter the [INSTALLER CODE] and press [ARM] to manually
answer WinLoad from the panel. Press [DISARM] to hang up.
15.8 EVENT BUFFER TRANSMISSION
SECTION [522]: OPTION [2]
If the Event Buffer contains 974 events since the last upload, the
control panel will make two attempts to establish communication
with a computer using WinLoad by calling the PC Telephone
Number programmed in section [560]. WinLoad must be in Wait To
Dial mode. When the system establishes communication, it will
upload the contents of the Event Buffer to WinLoad. If
communication is interrupted before completing transmission or if
after two attempts, communication is not established, the system
will wait until the Event Buffer attains another 974 events before
attempting to re-communicate with the central station. When the
Event Buffer is full, each subsequent new event will erase the
oldest event in the buffer. The Event Buffer can hold 1024 Events.
15.9 CALL BACK FEATURE
SECTION [522]: OPTION [1]
For additional security, when a computer using WinLoad attempts
to communicate with the control panel, the control panel can hang
up and call the computer back to re-verify identification codes and
re-establish communication. When the control panel hangs up,
WinLoad automatically goes into Wait For Call Mode, ready to
answer when the control panel calls back. Please note that the PC
Telephone Number must be programmed in order to use the Call
Back feature.
