Downloading may only be performed if a technician is at the site.
Programming the control from a remote location is protected against
compromise by someone attempting to defeat the system, using multi-levels
of security protection:
1. Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be
matched between the control and the downloader .
2. Site Initiated Remote Programming: The installer or subscriber
initiates the callback from the subscriber premises (by entering Installer code
+ # + 1) while disarmed. All parameters can then be downloaded via the
phone lines using a personal computer.
3. Station Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site
from your office to initiate the download call. The control hangs up and then
calls back the PC via the preprogrammed telephone number. The unit can
then be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled from your office .
4. Telco Hand-off: Allows the installer or subscriber to perform a
download session on the call initiated from the site.
5. Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the control is
encrypted for security so that it is very difficult for a foreign device tapped
into the phone line to take over communication and substitute system
compromising information.
