Transferring a Program

Remote Site Upload/Download

Pressing 1 for Proprietary No (factory default setting), while viewing the Remote Download
screen, will cause the display to toggle from Proprietary No to Proprietary Yes. Each press of the 1
key will cause the display to toggle between Proprietary No and Proprietary Yes. Selecting
Proprietary Yes will program the FACP to allow remote programming downloads from the
PS-Tools programming utility at all times without the need to access the Remote Download screen.

Pressing 2 for Accept Download will cause the following screen to be displayed:

While this screen is displayed, remote programming downloads are allowed regardless of the
Proprietary setting. Exiting this screen will disable any further downloads to the FACP. Also,
following 30 minutes of inactivity (including up/downloading), the Accept Download screen will
time-out, causing the display to return to the System All Normal screen.

6.2 Transferring a 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 control 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, one of the DACT’s red phone
line active LEDs and the green Kissoff LED will turn on steady.

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

6.2.1 Security Features

Upload and download with the control panel have been carefully designed to include key security
features to ensure proper functionality. Any time a transfer is initiated, the control panel and the
Service Terminal will communicate and transfer data before contacting a Central Station. When
the data transfers are completed and the control panel disconnects from the Service Terminal, the
control panel will call the Central Station and report one of the following conditions:

Upload/Download request received

Upload and/or Download request successful

Upload/Download failed

The key features are listed and explained in the following sections.

Secret Code Verification

A secret code is stored in the control panel by a Service Terminal to prevent unauthorized access.
The secret code is created at the Service Terminal by the master user and cannot be viewed or
changed by anyone other than a master user. Viewing of the secret code is prohibited at the control
panel. Prior to allowing an upload or download of data, the control panel will verify the secret code
transmitted by the Service Terminal.
