Press ENTER four times to lock-in the communication settings. Now, you can download an
Axcess program to the controller. Choose one of the following modes to set:

mode.
Setting PC to Axcess Program Communications and
Setting Device Number in Normal Mode
Follow these instructions to set PC-to-Axcess program communications, and the controller's base
device number. The following procedure is based upon having an existing Axcess program file that
is ready to be downloaded.
1.
Press F1 to open the File menu, select Change directory, type the directory path into the popup
dialog and press ENTER.
2.
Press F1 to open the File menu and then select OPEN.

Enter the file name assigned to your Axcess program in the dialog box that appears and press
ENTER.

The defined file will then appear in the Axcess window. Then press F2 and select SEND. The
file loaded into the Axcess window is then sent to the Central controller.
Axcess Master Mode
When an Axcess device is placed in "Master Mode", the Central Controller’s
PROGRAM
port is
moved to the Axcess device’s RS-232 port.
Press the escape key, then type either
MC
or
MD
:
<esc>
MC
- connects the device in Master Mode
<esc>
MD
- disconnects the device
where <esc> means "press the Esc key".
Master Mode can be very useful in situations where physical access to the Central
Controller’s
PROGRAM
port is not practical (for example, in installations where the
Central Controller is located a long distance from the bus device(s)).
