SECTION 6
Remote Site Upload/Download
The control panel may be programmed or interrogated off-site via the public switched
telephone network. Any personal computer with Windows
™
95 or greater, with a 14.4
Kbaud compatible modem and Fire•Lite Upload/Download software kit P/N PK-Plus,
may serve as a Service Terminal. This allows download of the entire program or upload
of the entire program, history file, walktest data, current status, system voltages, time
and date.
CAUTION : After successfully downloading a program, make certain to perform the
following steps:
1. Print out all programmed data via Print Mode or manually view programmed
entries and compare to intended program data
2. Test all affected panel operations
3. Immediately correct any problems found
6.1 Downloading Program
The first time that the control panel is downloaded (whether initiated at the jobsite or
remotely), a secret code is loaded in by a Service Terminal. Future upload or download
requests cause verification of the secret code by the control panel before processing of
data is allowed. If the secret code is not verified, the control panel will terminate the
request.
While the control panel is communicating with the Service Terminal, one of the
DACT’s red phone line active LEDs will remain on steady. At the conclusion of a
successful download, the green
Kissoff LED will turn on steady for five seconds and the
red phone line active LED will turn off.
In order to download the panel (whether initiated at the jobsite or remotely), the
following must be true:
✓
The control panel must be in the Normal Mode of operation. Downloading is
not possible if the panel is in any other mode
✓
There cannot be any active communications ongoing with a Central Station
receiver
✓
All active events must be successfully 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s).
The communicator must be in a standby state with no new information waiting
to be transmitted to a Central Station
Two basic communication mechanisms are supported as follows:
• Download with callback - the Service Terminal calls the control panel. The
control panel answers the call, confirms the calling party then hangs up. The
Service Terminal then waits for a callback from the control panel. After the
control panel calls the Central Station and successfully reports that a request for
downloading has been received, the control panel calls the Service Terminal
back. Upon secret code verification, data transfers occur. When the data
transfers are completed and the Service Terminal disconnects from the control
panel, the panel calls the Central Station back to confirm either successful or
unsuccessful results.
• Download with callback disabled - the Service Terminal calls the control panel.
No hang-up sequence occurs. Data transfers proceed.
Note that Callback enable/disable is controlled by the master user at the Service
Terminal on a per call basis.
