Connecting using a modem
You can connect the control panel to the computer remotely via a modem. This can be useful if you
are not on site and want to connect to the alarm system.
You can connect normally or connect using answering machine defeat (AMD). If you use AMD, the
automatically timed two-call-answer-machine-defeat sequence is used.
To use the DL900 software with a modem connection:
1. Follow steps 1 - 5 in Connecting using a serial port above.
2. Make sure that the modem settings are correct. For more information about modem
settings, see the DL900 Online Help.
3. Select Download>Connect> Connect Using AMD.
4. A message box opens saying Initializing modem.
5. The computer connects to the panel.
6. When you are finished uploading or downloading, select Download>Disconnect or click
the Disconnect icon.
Note: Not all modems are supported. For a list of compatible modems, please contact GE Security.
Programming with upload/download software
Downloading allows you to read the existing programming data or the event log from the control
panel. Uploading allows you to send programming data, that you have set up using the DL900
software, from the computer to the control panel. When you program the system using DL900, the
keypad can be reset after the system is powered down. This prevents text getting lost.
Before you download or upload information, do the following:
1. Ensure that the relevant control panel options are programmed correctly. There are a
minimum number of options that you must set before you can program the control panel
using the up/download software.
2. Ensure that the up/download access code is the same in both the up/download software
and the control panel. See chapter A-1 Introducing the NetworX V3 system for the correct
default code.
3. If you are connecting remotely, make sure that the modem settings are correct. For more
information about modem settings, see the DL900 Online Help.
4. Connect to the panel via the serial port or modem.
5. Select Download>Read all to download all the data from the control panel. The computer
downloads the data from the panel.
