SPECTRA SERIES 45
PART 11: SETTINGS FOR WINLOAD SOFTWARE
11.1 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®.
11.1.1 ANSWERING MACHINE OVERRIDE
Section [077]: 000 = Disabled, 010-255 seconds, Default = disabled
When using the WinLoad software to communicate remotely 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. For details on how to use the WinLoad software, refer to
the WinLoad Help Manual. You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second call, otherwise,
the control panel will think it is the same call.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set to answer after three rings. If section
[077] 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.
11.1.2 NUMBER OF RINGS
Section [078]: 000 = disabled, 001-015 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. You must wait at
least 10 seconds before attempting the second call, otherwise, the control panel will think it is the same call.
11.2 PANEL IDENTIFIER
Section [141]: 0000-FFFF
This four-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 Spectra
control panel and the WinLoad software.
11.3 PC PASSWORD
Section [142]: 0000-FFFF
This four-digit password identifies the PC to the panel, before establishing communication. Program the same PC
Password into both the Spectra control panel and the WinLoad software. If the passwords do not match, the
WinLoad software will not establish communication.
11.4 PC TELEPHONE NUMBER
Section [150]: 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 (see Table 5 on page 35) up to a
maximum of 32 digits.
