REMOTE PROGRAMMING (

REMOTE PROGRAMMING (Up/Downloading

Up/Downloading

Up/Downloading)))))

The SC800/1600 system has the ability to be reprogrammed and
controlled from a remote location over the standard telephone
network, using an IBM PC or compatible computer equipped with a
modem and ScanPro Downloader Software. The system may have
individual memory locations programmed or the contents of the
entire memory may be uploaded/downloaded in less than two (2)
minutes. For more information on the ScanPro Downloader Soft-
ware, contact Sentrol, Inc.

7.2

AUTO CALL ANSWER METHOD

This method requires a set number of rings to be programmed along
with the correct panel password. The remote PC will call the
premises. After the control panel has sensed the set number of
rings, it will seize the phone line and begin communication with the
remote PC.

If the phone line is answered by any other device than the panel (I.E..
Answering machine, person, etc.), the panel will sense the tones
from the computer and seize the phone line from the device. This
procedure will operate properly only if the telephone devices are
installed on the "house phones" side of the Line Seizure circuitry as
shown in FIGURE 4, page 5.

7.3

PANEL CALL BACK SECURITY

PANEL CALL BACK SECURITY (for secure Up/

(for secure Up/

Downloading)

This method requires the following items to be programmed, a set
number of rings, the correct panel password, and the secure upload/
download feature selected. The remote PC dials the premises. The
control panel at the premises will pick up the phone line and if the
computer responds correctly, the control panel will hang up and dial
the call back telephone number. If the control panel does not receive
the proper response or if the call back number is not answered within
a preset time, the control will hang up and try to initiate another call.
The control panel will continue to dial to the preset number of dialing
attempts. Using this method provides a higher level of security
because the PC that is calling the premises must be the one selected
with the call back number. This will almost eliminate all “Unwanted
Parties” from gaining access to the system.

7.4

ANSWERING A CALL FROM THE KEYPAD

This is the only way the panel can answer the call if zero rings are
programmed. The Answer Call option can be used at any time to pick
up an incoming call, from a PC or another panel. The user or alarm
technician must be instructed to enter the user menu and select the
Ans

Ans

Answer Call

wer Call

wer Call option once the telephone begins ringing at the

premises. After the [ # ]

[ # ]

[ # ] key is pressed, the control panel will seize

the phone line and begin communication.

This option is also required in situations where a direct connection
is used to program the panel. Attach the modem to the panels Ring
and Tip. Activate the "Answer Call" after ScanPro begins emitting
the modem tone.

7.5

"LIMITED ACCESS" PROGRAMMING

This feature allows the system to be tailored for the end user. The
system can be programmed to allow a particular access code
access to a limited number of zones.

An example of "Limited Access" in a residential system might be:
With an eight (8) zone system and a single keypad. The user is
assigned all eight (8) zones while the maid is assigned all zones
except zone eight (8) protecting a wall safe. Only the user is allowed
access to the safe without setting off the alarm system. The
programming required for this "Limited Access" example would be
as follows:

Item 52 - Zones assigned to keypad.
Program zones one (1) through eight (8) for keypad 1, keypad
address of "0".

Item 66 - User pass codes
Program two (2) pass codes one (1) for the user and one (1) for the
maid.

Item 68 - Zones assigned to user
Program user #1 for zones 1-8 and user #2 (the maid's code) for
zones 1-7.

To arm the entire system, all partitioned areas must be armed. In
this example, user 1 the user, was assigned all zones one (1)
through eight (8). When he arms, the Armed led will be on and the
display will show the armed condition. If the maid armed the system,
she would only have armed her partitioned area zones one (1)
through seven (7). The display would show the armed and bypassed
condition.

Using the above example, when the user code is used that is
assigned less zones than the amount of zones assigned to the
keypad, the unassigned zones would appear as BYPASSED and the
assigned zones would be ARMED.

7.6

PARTITIONING

A partition is a restricted area consisting of one or more zones. You
may restrict a user, a keypad or both from arming/disarming a zone
or group of zones.

An example of "Partitioning" in a Commercial Installation might be:
A sixteen (16) zone system with two areas to protect such as an
office as partition one and a warehouse as partition two. These are
two totally separate areas and will be monitored from their own
keypads. We will assume that Users 1-12 will control the first
partition (zones 1- 10) and that Users 13-21 will control the second
partition (zones 11-16). User 1 and 2 will need to have access to
both areas.

The programming required for this partitioning example would be as
follows:

Item 30 - Miscellaneous system function select
Program in Group 2 a “2” for multi-premise operation. This keeps
the areas separate. Without this bit set User codes from one area
have control over the other area.
