Sending Configuration Files from the D6200 PC to the D6600 Receiver
After modifying options from the D6200 interface you must send them over to the D6600.
To do this, click on the
Programming
menu, select
Parameter Programming
, and then select the appropriate
(CPU-HOST-Network or line card) parameters to be sent from the D6200 to the D6600 Receiver. Parameter
changes will take effect immediately at the receiver. For example, after modifications have been made to the line
card configuration file, it is necessary to send this file over to the D6600. If you do not send the files over to the
D6600 then no changes are made to the operation of the D6600.

Managing Field Unit Accounts in the D6600
Before the D6600 can begin to supervise Alarm panels connected to the network via Radionics D9133s or
C900s, the D6600 Account Database must be programmed to include information about each NetCom account.
The programming of field accounts is stored within the D6600 in a file called the Account Database File. This file
holds all of the necessary information the D6600 needs to process signals and manage/supervise field accounts.
The D6200 allows the user to view, change, upload and download all of the D6600’s programming parameters
via the receiver’s and the Host PC’s serial comports, or network connections. Through the D6200 software the
user can view the status of all accounts in the database, add accounts, edit accounts, delete accounts, and
configure network operations.
Note:
Connect D6200 software to the network through the COM4 or COM1 port of the D6600.
All account database configurations will be lost when the D6600 is rebooted. Be sure to save all
database configuration changes to the “ACTXX.DB” file with the D6200. The database must then be
reloaded into the D6600 after the D6600 has been rebooted.
To make a change to the Account Database of the D6600 you must first open the file into the D6200.
4.11.1
Previous Reading of Account Database
If the Account Database file has been read by the D6200 Software from the D6600 before, then there will be a
saved version of the file on the hard drive of the computer running the D6200 Software. To read the files into the
D6200 Software to allow adding, deleting, or editing,
1.
Click on the
NetCom
menu, then select either
Open Account
Database
or
Read Account Database
from the D6600.
2.
Select the appropriate file to view or edit.
Click
Open
.
4.11.2
First Time Reading of Account Database
If the Account Database file has never been read from the D6600 (new installation), then a generic version of the
Account Database is located on the hard drive of the computer running the D6200 Software. (This generic file
was copied to the hard drive at the time of the D6200 installation.) To read the file into the D6200 Software to
allow editing, follow these steps:
1.
Click on the
NetCom
menu, then select
Open Account
Database
.
