Using StarLink Connect Software with
Honeywell Control Panels
The Napco StarLink Connect software is compatible with the
Honeywell Compass
®
Downloader for Windows
®
Software.
See www.security.honeywell.com for more information
regarding Honeywell control panel compatibility with their
Compass software. Before proceeding, the StarLink Connect
SLE radio must be wired to the Honeywell control panel as
described earlier in this manual.
1. Before connecting each time to the Compass
Downloader for Windows
software, launch the Napco
StarLink Connect software
by pressing "Alt + S" on the
keyboard. In the popup that
appears, click the Compass
tab and type the StarLink
radio Device ID (printed on
the radio PCB sticker) and
click OK.
Note: Always verify the radio is a "StarLink
Connect" radio with the correct panel type before
entering "ready to connect" mode (click Info to view radio
data). In addition, the PC-Security Code prompt will
appear if a Code was used (the app will remember the
last Code used until you exit the app from the System
Tray).
2. When the Napco StarLink Connect icon in the
System Tray turns green with a black "C" in the
center (shown at right), the Napco StarLink
Connect software is ready to connect with the
Compass Downloader for Windows software.
3. Launch the Compass Downloader for Windows software
and log in normally. When connected to the Compass
Downloader for Windows software, the Napco StarLink
Connect icon in the System Tray turns yellow.
Upload, download and/or program the Honeywell control
panel as usual.
4. To indicate real-time communication activity from
the Compass Downloader for Windows software,
through the Napco StarLink Connect software to
the Honeywell control panel, the "C" in the center
of the yellow StarLink icon will toggle between
"black on white" and "white on black".
5. Upon disconnection, the yellow StarLink icon turns back
to green and waits for another Compass Downloader for
Windows software connection. The last Radio ID used
will be retained in memory (RAM) for convenient
reconnection.
The Napco StarLink Connect software state changes
are reflected in the appearance of its System Tray
icons:
Red Icon: "Stopped" (initial state)
Green Icon: "Listening for Compass
outgoing connection"
Yellow Icons: "Connected with Compass".
During data transfer, yellow icon will toggle
between "black on white" and "white on black"
to indicate data transfer activity.
