Section 7 – Downloading
7-3
Getting On-Line with a Control Panel
At the protected premises, the control panel must be
connected to the existing telephone line (refer to
SECTION 3: Installing the Control). No programming
of the panel is required before downloading to an
initial installation unless you are performing an
unattended download.
When establishing a connection between the computer
and the control panel, the following occurs:
Stage What Happens
1 The computer calls up the control panel.
(The phone number for each customer must
be entered into the customer’s account file
on the computer.)
2 The control panel answers the phone call at
the pre-programmed ring count and
executes a handshake with the computer.
3 The computer sends a request for callback
to the control, unless callback is not
required.
4 The panel acknowledges the request and
hangs up. During the next few seconds, the
control processes the request, making sure
certain encrypted information received from
the computer matches its own memory.
5 Upon a successful match, the control panel
seizes the phone line and calls 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.)
6 The computer answers, usually by the
second ring, and executes a handshake with
the panel.
7 The panel then sends other default
information to the computer. If this
information matches the computer’s
information, a successful link is
established. The system is now “on-line”
with the computer.
• 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 report
immediately. All other reports are delayed
until you complete the session.
• The keypads remain active when on-line
with a control, but are inactive durin
actual uploading or downloading sessions.
