SYSTEM CONFIGURATION & OPERATION
The NAPCO Digital Communicator is configured by connecting the
FW-PCTOOL Configuration Tool
to P4 of the FW-
DACT Main Board. Once connected, if no text appears immediately on the LCD screen, hit any key on the numeric
keypad.
The DACT supports three levels of restricted access to the
Configuration Mode
which allows for parameter
configuration and control of operation. Each level is associated with a separate
Passcode
(up to 8-digit numeric code)
and may be individually modified. Once a user gains access to the Configuration Mode, they are presented with a menu
of selections according to the level of access granted. The
factory default
Passcodes are:
Level I
- OPERATOR
“11111111”
Level II
- INSTALLER
“22222222”
A
Restore-to-Factory-Defaults
can be initiated from the FW-PCTOOL
without having to first access program mode,
by using the special Passcode ...
Restore-to-Factory-Defaults
“12345678”

event was successfully reported earlier.
