1. fn Central station wmnunicatkms: the handshake is the
acknowledgment frequency, usually 1400 Hz or 2300 Hz, that the
receiver
gives
to a communicator when calling in an alam, report;
2. DOWNLOADING: when the computer calls up the wntrol panet.
the panel gives the computer a handshake as a -go ahear signal
to send the data.
A computer print-out, on paper, as opposed to a display on a screen.
An internal disk storage device to a PC, usually designated as drive %‘.
Also known as hard disk.
A siren or bell that is mounted indoors to alert the occupants of the
premises.
The tone given by the central station receiver to the communicator telling
it the message was received and is valid.
Abbreviation for Liquid-Crystal Display, which refers to the display on
consoles.
The communicator disconnects all local phones when attempting to dial
out to central station.
A 4152LMB module, which is connected to the 4171 XT-XM, and used to
expand the VtSTA XM up to 64 zones via a 2-wire polling loop.
The central processing unit of any computer, or computer-based device,
usually made on a single silicon chip which processes and makes
decisions for the system.
Abbreviation for “modulator/demodulatof; a device used to interface a
computer with a telephone line. It converts the computer’s binary code to
a form that can be transmitted over the phone line. A modem at the
receiving end must then convert this data back to binary to allow the two
computers to “tatk”; in the case of downloading, the VISTA XM Controls
have a built-in modem to accomplish these conversions.
To program; to change.
Abbreviation for MicroSoft Disk Operating System; necessary in order to
operate the computer. Without this, the computer will not run any
programs; MS DOS revision 3.1 or higher is necessary to DOWNLOAD.
Refers to EEROM memory which cannot be erased, even if all power is
lost.

_.
The time it takes the Control panel to sense a fault from the time the fault
actually occurred; normal response time is usually 350 milisewnds, while
fast response time is usually 5 to 10 milliseconds in duration.
Active communications in progress, as in downloading, between the
Control panel and the computer.
A device such as a switch or pushbutton, that closes or shorts when
activated; this type of device must be EOLR supevised in VISTA.
Abbreviation for Personal Computer or Desk-Top Computer.(Ex: IBM PC)
Pertaining to downloading, tf an operator is given PART READ/WRITE
access he or she can read and write over all but the system’s access
codes.
Any input-output computer device that is external to the computer, Ex:
printer: any device external to the main control, Ex: Keypad.
P-wire loop used in conjunction with the 4152LMB (Loop Module) for
zone expansion.
Abbreviation for Programmable Read-Only Memory, which is an IC chii
that contains program information to operate the system. Unlike an
EEROM, the PROM can be programmed only once, because each
address is permanently ‘burned-in’, and cannot be changed.
