DOWNLOADING
The PC3000 with version 7.0 or higher software, supports
the DSC “downloading” package. See the downloading
manual for details on specific capabilities.
There are several sections pertaining to the downloading
feature which must be programmed.
Section [23]
The time of day that the periodic download or test
transmission will be done, if selected, is programmed in this
section.
Section [26] - Downloading Access Code
A four digit code must be programmed into this section to
allow access to the control panel by the downloading
computer.
Section [46] - Downloading Computer Telephone Number
If Callback is enabled, section [47] zone light [8], then this
section must be programmed with the telephone number of
the downloading computer.
Section [47] - Modem Configuration
Zone lights [1] to [4] are programmed to set the number of
rings the panel will look for before it answers a call from the
downloading computer.
Zone light [5] is programmed to enable or disable the
control panel for downloading. If downloading is disabled, all
other programming sections relating to downloading need
not be programmed.
Zone light [6] enables or disables user initiated callup to the
downloading computer.
Zone light [7] enables or disables the answering machine
defeat option (Answering Machine Over-ride).
Downloading and Answering Machine
The PC3000 software provides a means to handle
downloading when an answering machine is also connected
to the telephone line. In section [47], if zone light 7 is off, it is
assumed that there is no answering machine connected to
the telephone line and the panel will capture the line after
the set number of rings.
If zone light 7 is off and an answering machine is connected
and it is set to answer before the panel, the panel will be
unable to receive a call from a downloading computer. If the
panel is set to answer before the answering machine, the
answering machine will be unable to receive incoming
messages.
If zone light 7 is on and the panel is called for 1 or 2 rings
only and then called again within a set time of 60 or 120
seconds (set in section 51, light 7), the panel will then
answer the second call on the first ring (Answering Machine
Over-ride Timer).
Once the panel is connected to a downloading computer,
no [
Q ] functions can be performed. If the [ Q ] key is pressed
while the panel is connected to a downloading computer,
the keypad buzzer will sound one long tone to indicate an
error.
Zone light [8] is programmed to enable or disable
callback. If callback is disabled, the downloading
computer will have immediate access to the control panel.
The disabled mode is useful if there are multiple
downloading computers (at different telephone numbers).
If callback is enabled the downloading computer will call,
request access then hang up and wait for the control
panel to call. After the control panel has called back and
the downloading computer and the control panel accept
each other as valid, downloading operations are enabled.
Section [48] - Panel Identification Code
A four digit code must be programmed into this section to
allow the downloading computer to identify the panel it is
communicating with.
Section [49] - Printer Configuration
Zone light [8] is programmed to choose between periodic
download (light ON) or test transmission (light OFF).
Section [51] - 3rd System Option Code
Zone light [7] sets the Answering Machine Over-ride Timer
to either 60 or 120 seconds for defeating the answering
machine.
