Remote Programming Information
The downloading system can perform many functions when in
communication with the control unit. Besides uploading and downloading,
the status of the system can be observed and various commands can be
initiated, as follows:
· Arm the System in the Away Mode; Disarm the System.
· Bypass a Zone.
· Force the System to Accept a New Program Download.
· Shut Down Communication (dialer) Functions (non-payment of monitoring
fees in an owned system).
· Shut Down all Security System Functions (non-payment for a leased
system).
· Inhibit Local Keypad Programming (prevents account takeover).
· Command the System to Upload a Copy of its Resident Program to the
office.
· Read: Arming Status, AC Power Status, Lists of Faulted Zones, Bypassed
Zones, Zones Currently in Alarm, Zones Currently in Trouble, and RF
Sensors with Low Battery Conditions.
Notes: After the control and the PC have established valid communication, each
keypad on the system will become inactive and will display "CC" or
"MODEM COMM.". The control, however, will still be scanning its zones and
looking for alarms. If an alarm does occur, after communication is broken off
alarms are sounded and the proper dialer reports are sent to the central
station. The keypads will become active after the download communication is
terminated. The detailed operation of the download functions is covered in
the installation instructions for the FADL Downloading Software Diskette.
Remote Programming Advisory Notes
· Alarm and trouble reporting may be delayed during the time that the
system and the Downloader are linked to each other following a valid
exchange of codes, but the proper message will get through to the Central
Station after the link is broken.
· Keypad entries are ignored during the time interval stated above.
· A copy of the program downloaded may be produced from the IBM PC
compatible computer, using the product's internal report generator, when
an optional printer is connected (consult your PC manual for proper
printer and connections).
· Program Upload or Download TimeÑApproximately one minute fifteen
seconds for a complete program.
