Section 5: Programming
OFF: When a DLS/SA session is initiated by the user, the initial header is sent at 110 baud. The alarm system will then
switch to 300 baud in order to receive the response from the DLS computer.
7 – Alternate Communicator DLS
ON: When this feature is enabled, the alarm system responds to DLS requests through the alternate communicator IP or cel-
lular paths at any time, regardless of whether the DLS window is active or not.
However, if a pre-defined number of consecutive incorrect DLS access codes is detected (See "Remote Lockout DLS" on
page 86) while trying to establish a connection, alternate communicator DLS access is locked out until the next hour roll-
over.
OFF: When this feature is disabled, the alarm system only responds to DLS requests through the alternate communicator IP
or cellular paths when the DLS window is active.
The DLS/SA window is active following a power up or if enabled using [*][6][maser code][05] (System Service/DLS).
Note: This option controls DLS over alternate communicator only.
[402] PSTN DLS Phone Number Programming
This section is used to program the telephone number for DLS downloading over PSTN. This phone number is used for User
Call Up, Periodic DLS and DLS Call back. If no phone number is programmed, the system attempts to use the alternate com-
municator IP path (if configured).
The maximum number length is 32 digits.
[403] DLS Access Code
This 6-digit hexadecimal code allows the alarm system to confirm the identity of the downloading computer.
If the code does not match the computer, the alarm system does not allow DLS access.
Once a DLS connection is established, the operator is allowed three attempts to enter the correct access code. If these
attempts are unsuccessful, the alarm system disconnects and a new attempt must be made.
If cellular or IP paths are used for the DLS connection, a pre-programmed number of unsuccessful attempts causes a 1-hour
DLS lockout. Number of attempts is programmed in section [012].
[404] DLS/SA Panel ID
This 10-digit hexadecimal code identifies the alarm system to the downloading computer.
[405] PSTN Double Call Timer
Use this section to program the amount of time that can elapse between the first and second call when using Double Call
downloading. Valid entries are 001 to 255 (seconds).
[406] PSTN Number of Rings to Answer On
The value in this section determines how many rings are required in order to establish a DLS connection. Default value is
000 rings. Valid entries are [000]-[020].
Note: If Double-Call option and Number of Rings to Answer are enabled, either one will work depending on how the
installer calls the alarm system.
[407] SA Access Code
This 6-digit hexadecimal code allows the alarm system to confirm the identity of the downloading computer.
If the code does not match the computer, the alarm system does not allow uploading/downloading.
Programming the access code as FFFFFF disables SA access.
Once an SA connection is established, multiple attempts to input the correct downloading access code (programmed in
[012]) is allowed.
The operator is allowed three attempts to enter the correct access code. If these attempts are unsuccessful, the alarm system
disconnects and a new attempt must be made.
If cellular or IP paths are used for the SA connection, up to five unsuccessful attempts causes a 1-hour SA lockout (See
"Remote Lockout DLS" on page 86).
