Remote Site Upload/Download
CHAPTER 7
Remote Site Upload/Download
The control panel may be programmed or interrogated off-site via the public switched telephone network. Any per-
sonal computer with DOS
™
4.01 or greater plus Windows
™
3.1 or greater, with a 1200 baud Hayes
™
compatible
modem and Fire•Lite Upload/Download software P/N PK-5024UD, 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
7.1
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 con-
trol 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, the panel's green Modem LED and one of the
red Line Seize LEDs will remain on steady. At the conclusion of a successful download, the green Kissoff LED will
turn on steady for five seconds, the green Modem LED will turn off and the red Line Seize 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
With program address location 56 set to '1' or '2', anytime a download is initiated, the control panel will first contact
the primary Central Station or both the primary and secondary Central Stations to report a 'request for upload/down-
load' message. Once the request is 'kissed-off' by the Central Station(s), the control panel will then call the appropri-
ate Service Terminal and begin the downloading process.
To prevent the 'request for upload/download' message(s) from being reported to the Central Station(s), make certain
to leave address 56 set to '0' or disable all upload/download reports back to both Central Stations.
During the downloading process, the fire protection remains active. Should a system trouble or alarm condition
occur, the control panel immediately terminates downloading and processes the trouble or alarm locally and trans-
mits the information to the Central Station(s).
