5.1 General
Any time that the digital communicator is contacted, a secret code (factory default 0000) is verified
between the digital communicator and the Service Terminal. Changing the Secret Code may only
be accomplished at the Service Terminal and subsequently loaded into the panel. Future upload or
download requests cause verification of the Secret Code by the communicator before processing of
data is allowed. If the Secret Code is not verified, the communicator will terminate the request
immediately.
In order to contact the communicator, the following must be true:
 The digital communicator may be in any mode of operation including Normal, Program,
Real Time Clock, Troubleshoot or Lamp Test. Downloading is not possible if the
communicator is active during Central Station communications or while testing the phone
lines while in Troubleshoot Mode.
 The digital communicator must be unlocked so it can accept a remote upload/download.
Entering mode 8655 (UNLK) will unlock the panel for 30 minutes. Refer to "Panel Unlock
(90)" for other programming options.
 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 digital
communicator must be in a standby state with no new information waiting to be transmitted
to a Central Station.
Two basic communication mechanisms are supported as follows:
• Contact with callback - The Service Terminal calls the digital communicator. The
communicator answers the call, confirms the calling party then hangs-up. The Service
Terminal then waits for a callback from the communicator. After the digital communicator
calls the Central Station and successfully reports that a request has been received, the
communicator calls the Service Terminal back. Upon secret code verification, data transfers
occur. When the data transfers are completed and the Service Terminal disconnects from the
communicator, the digital communicator calls the Central Station back to confirm either
successful or unsuccessful results.
