COMPASS DOWNLOADING software may be purchased from ADEMCO. This software
is available on 3-1/2" diskettes or CD ROM, and includes a complete User's Manual. It
may also be downloaded from the ADEMCO web page. The web address is
http://www.ademco.com.
Internal modems must have a 4-position DIP switch. Modems with a 6-position DIP switch will not
work.
Alternatively, you may use a 4100SM interface module to "direct-wire" the control panel to
your computer at the site.
Getting On-Line with a Control Panel
At the protected premises, the Control panel must be connected to the existing telephone line
(refer to the
System Communication
section). No programming of the panel is required
before downloading to an initial installation.
To download, do the following:
1.
Enter the
[Installer Code] + [#] + [5]
. The panel temporarily enables a ring count of 5
and sets the Download Callback option to "1" (callback not required).
2.
Call the panel using the downloader software set to "First Communication" Mode.
3.
The downloader will establish a session with no callback. The panel information can then
be downloaded.
4.
In order to remotely access, control, or program the alarm panel, a "link" must be
established between the computer and the control panel, as follows:
a. The computer calls up the control panel. (The phone number for each customer is
entered into the customer's account file on the computer.)
b. The control panel "answers" at the pre-programmed ring count and executes a
handshake with the computer.
c. The computer sends a request for callback to the control, unless callback is not
required.
d. The panel acknowledges the request and hangs up. During the next few seconds,
the control will process the request, making sure certain encrypted information
received from the computer matches its own memory.
e. Upon a successful match, the control panel will seize the phone line and call the
computer back, unless callback is not required. (The phone number to which the
computer’s modem is connected must be programmed into the control field
∗35.)
f. The computer answers, usually by the second ring, and executes a handshake
with the panel.
g. The panel then sends other default information to the computer. If this
information matches the computer's information, a successful link is established.
This is known as being “On-line.”
1. Alarms and Trouble responses and reports are disabled during actual uploading or
downloading sessions. If you are on-line, but not actively uploading or downloading, all
alarms will report immediately. All other reports will be delayed until you complete the
session.
2. The keypads remain active when on-line with a control, but are inactive during actual
uploading or downloading sessions.
