Part 15: Settings for WinLoad Software
WinLoad has not been verified by UL.
15.1 Panel Answer Options
The following two options define how the control panel answers an incoming call from a computer using the WinLoad Software for
Windows®.
15.1.1 Answering Machine Override Delay
Section [902]
000 = Disabled, 000 to 255 seconds, Default = 030
When using the WinLoad software to communicate with an installation site that uses an answering machine or service,
the answering machine override must be programmed. Using the WinLoad software you will call the control panel,
hang up, then call back. If the installation site is called back within the programmed delay period, the control panel will
override the answering machine or service by picking-up the line after the first ring on the second call. You must wait at
least 10 seconds before attempting the second call, otherwise, the control panel will think it is the same call. For details
on how to use the WinLoad software, refer to the WinLoad Help Manual. This section applies to the Plug-in Voice
Dialer when using a VDMP3.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set to answer after three rings. If section [902] has
been programmed with 040 (40 seconds) and the second call is made within 40 seconds, the control panel will pick up
the line on the first ring. If it takes more than 40 seconds, the control panel will not answer on the first ring and the
answering machine will answer after three rings.
15.1.2 Number of Rings
Section [901]
000 = disabled, 001 to 015 rings, Default = 8 rings
This value represents the number of rings the control panel will wait before picking-up the line. If the line is not
answered after the number of programmed rings, the control panel will answer the call. This section applies to the
Plug-in Voice Dialer when using a VDMP3.
15.2 Panel Identifier
Section [910]
0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit code identifies the control panel to the WinLoad software before initiating communication. The control panel will verify
that the Panel Identifier in the WinLoad software is the same. If the codes do not match, the control panel will not establish
communication. Therefore, be sure to program the same panel identifier into both the control panel and the WinLoad software.
15.3 PC Password
Section [911]
0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit password identifies the PC to the panel before establishing communication. Program the same PC Password into
both the control panel and the WinLoad software. If the passwords do not match, the WinLoad software will not establish
communication.
15.4 PC Telephone Number
Section [915]
Up to 32 digits
The control panel will dial this number when trying to initiate communication with a computer using the WinLoad software. You
can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or functions up to a maximum of 32 digits.
15.5 Call WinLoad Software
[ENTER]+ [INSTALLER CODE] + [BYP]
The control panel will dial the PC Telephone Number programmed in section [915] in order to communicate with the WinLoad
software. The control panel and the WinLoad software will verify that the Panel Identifier and the PC Password match before
establishing communication.
