Section 13: Downloading
NOTE: DLS2002 or higher is required. Downloading is not to be enabled on UL/ULC Listed systems.
13.1 Downloading Options
Automatic Upload of Event Buffer when %75 full
Ref #: [000300]
This option allows the installer to choose if the panel will auto-
matically call the downloading computer when the Event Buffer
%75 full event occurs. This option is independent of the actual
transmission of the Event Buffer %75 full event (the event does
not need to be transmitted for the panel to perform the automatic
upload). The panel will first transmit the Event Buffer %75 full
event (if enabled) and then perform the automatic download.
Downloading Telephone Number
Ref #: [000302]
Enter the telephone number for the downloading computer (only
applies if the User Call Up, Periodic DLS, or DLS Callback option
is enabled). For instructions on programming telephone numbers,
see
12.1 ”Telephone Numbers’.
Panel ID Code
Ref #: [000303]
The 4-digit panel identifier code will identify the panel to the
downloading computer. The panel ID code must be different for
each panel if either User Call Up, Periodic DLS or DLS Callback
is used. The default setting is 4921.
Panel Downloading Access Code
Ref #: [000304]
This 4-digit code must be programmed the same as the download-
ing access code in the computer file. If the codes are different, the
panel will NOT allow any uploading or downloading to take
place. The code is used to help ensure the security of the system.
The default setting is 4920.
Double Call Timer
Ref #: [000305]
This is the maximum time between two telephone calls when the
’Double Call’ option has been enabled. Valid entries are between
000 and 255 seconds. The default setting is 060 (see ’Download
-
ing Toggle Options – Double Call’ below to enable the Double
Call feature).
Number of Rings
Ref #: [000306]
This is the number of consecutive rings the panel must detect
before answering the call for downloading. Valid entries are
between 001 and 255 rings. The default setting is 008.
Downloading Toggle Options
Ref #: [000300]
Downloading to the panel is not enabled by default. Select one or
more of the following options to allow the computer to communi
-
cate with the control panel. Use the [*] key to toggle between
[Y]es and [N]o to enable or disable each option. Use the [<][>]
keys to scroll through the available options.
• DLS Enabled: If enabled, the panel will answer an incoming
call for downloading after the programmed number of rings.
The panel can also be programmed to answer using the dou
-
ble call feature (see ’Double Call’ in this section). If disabled,
the panel will not answer any incoming calls (default=No).
• User Call Up: If enabled, the user can make the panel call a
remote computer by entering the [*][6][Master Code][12]
User Call Up command (default=No).
• Double Call: If enabled, the panel will follow the double call
procedure. If the panel detects one or two rings on the first
call and then is called again within a programmed time, the
panel will answer the second call on the first ring. To program
the Double Call Timer, see ’Downloading Options – Double
Call Timer’ above. If disabled, the panel will only answer
after the programmed number of rings (default=No).
• DLS Callback: If enabled, both the computer and the panel
will hang up after a connection is made. The computer will
then wait for the panel to call. If disabled, the downloading
computer will have immediate access to the control panel
once accepted as valid (default=No).
NOTE: If more than one computer is used for downloading, callback
should be disabled.
• Periodic DLS: This feature can be used to have the panel
periodically call the downloading computer. Upload/down
-
load commands programmed in advance (batch files) will be
executed. See
13.2 ”Periodic Call-up’ for programming the
time and days when this will occur. The computer must be
waiting for a call in order for this feature to work
(default=No).
• User Enabs DLS: If enabled, the user will be able to activate
the ring detect feature for 60 minutes in order to allow down
-
loading to occur. If the DLS Enabled option is on, this option
will not apply (default=No).
13.2 Periodic Call-up
Ref #: [000301]
This option programs the time and number of days between peri-
odic downloads:
• Periodic TX Days (00): Program the number of days between
periodic downloads. Valid entries are from 001 to 255 days.
The default setting is 030.
• Periodic TX Time (01): Program, in military time, the time of
day the panel will call the computer for periodic downloading.
The default setting is 00:00 (midnight).
13.3 PC-Link
Ref #: [000307]
The PC-Link is an adapter that connects the control panel to a
computer to provide on-site downloading. With the PC-Link, no
modem is required. The time that is required to complete a suc
-
cessful download is significantly reduced. A serial cable is used to
link the computer with the control panel.
A connection to the DLS software will automatically be made
when the DLS initiates the connection.
For instructions on using the PC-Link, please consult your
DLS2002 Software (’Connecting Via PC-Link’).
