Reference & Installation Manual
WinLoad Software Settings
Panel Answer Options
The following two options define how Magellan answers an
incoming call from a computer using the WinLoad Installer
Upload/Download Software.
Answering Machine Override
Section [074]: 010 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default =
disabled
When using WinLoad to communicate remotely with an
installation site that uses an answering machine or service, the
answering machine override must be programmed. Using
WinLoad, you will call Magellan, hang up, then call back. If the
installation site is called back within the delay programmed in
section [074], the console will override the answering machine or
service by picking up the line after the first ring on the second
call. You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the
second call, otherwise, the console will think it is the same call.
For details on how to use WinLoad, refer to the WinLoad
On-line Help.
Example: A security installation is using an answering machine
set to answer after three rings. If section [074] has been
programmed with 040 (40 seconds) and the second call is made
within 40 seconds, Magellan will pick up the line on the first ring.
If it takes more than 40 seconds, the console will not answer on
the first ring and the answering machine will answer after three
rings.
Number of Rings
Section [072]: 001 to 015 rings; 000 = disabled; Default = 008
This value represents the number of rings Magellan will wait
before picking-up the line. If the line is not answered after the
number of programmed rings, the console will answer the call.
You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second
call or Magellan will think it is the same call.
Panel Identifier
Section [108]: 4-digit Hexadecimal number from 0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit code identifies the console to WinLoad before
initiating communication. Magellan will verify that the Panel
Identifier in the WinLoad software is the same as the code
programmed in section [108]. If the codes do not match, the
console will not establish communication. Therefore, be sure to
program the same panel identifier code into both Magellan and
WinLoad.
PC Password
Section [109]: 4-digit Hexadecimal number from 0000 to FFFF
This 4-digit password identifies the PC to Magellan before
establishing communication. Program the same PC password
into both the console and WinLoad. If the passwords do not
match, WinLoad will not establish communication.
PC Telephone Number
Section [115]
Magellan will dial the number programmed in section [118] when
trying to initiate communication with a computer using WinLoad.
You can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or
functions (see Table 7 on page 29) up to a maximum of 32 digits.
Call Back Feature
Section [098]: Option [4]
Option [4] OFF = Call Back Feature disabled (default)
Option [4] ON =
Call Back Feature enabled
The Call Back feature provides additional security. When section
[098] option [4] in ON and a computer using WinLoad attempts to
communicate with Magellan, the console hangs up and calls the
computer back to re-verify identification codes and re-establish
communication. When Magellan hangs up, WinLoad
automatically goes into Wait for Call mode, ready to answer
when the console calls back. The PC Telephone number must be
programmed (see PC Telephone Number on page 38).
