DMP Electronics manual Encrypted Communications XR500N/XR500E only, Programmer Operation

Introduction

1.3Encrypted Communications (XR500N/XR500E only)

Some installations require secure data communications. DMP offers NIST approved AES encrypted communication. Use a unique passphrase to enable encrypted communications and provide a secure means for data communications. See Network Options.

An XR500E panel communicates using AES encryption. If you currently have an XR500N panel installed, you may purchase a separate feature key to activate encrypted communications using the Feature Upgrade process. Encrypted communication cannot be enabled on a standard XR500 panel. For more information on the Feature Upgrade process see Section 21 in this document.

1.4Programmer Operation

There are 21 programming sections to choose from:

Programming Item	Section in This Manual	Programming Item	Section in This Manual
Initialization	2	Output Information	12
Communication	3	Output Groups	13
Network Options	4	Menu Display	14
Messaging Setup	5	Status List	15
Device Setup	6	Printer Reports	16
Remote Options	7	PC Log Reports	17
System Reports	8	Area Information	18
System Options	9	Zone Information	19
Bell Options	10	Stop	20
Output Options	11	Set Lockout Code	21
		Feature Upgrade	22

To choose a section for programming, press any top row Select key when the keypad displays the name of that section. Sections 2 through 22 contain detailed instructions for each programming step.

1.5Programmer Lockout Codes

The panel allows you to enter the programming function without entering a lockout code using steps

1 to 4 listed in Getting Started. We recommend, however, that you install a Lockout Code to restrict programming to only those persons your company authorizes. You can do this by using the SET LOCKOUT CODE feature in the Programmer. The Lockout Code restricts any unauthorized panel programming.

After resetting the panel and entering the code 6653, the keypad displays PROGRAMMER. Press COMMAND to advance through the programming sections until SET LOCKOUT CODE displays (after STOP). Press any top row Select key. The keypad displays ENTER CODE: – . Enter a 3 to 5 digit Programmer Lockout Code and press COMMAND. The keypad displays ENTER AGAIN followed by ENTER CODE: –. Enter the same 3 to 5 digit code a second time and press COMMAND. The keypad displays CODE CHANGED.

Note: The panel does not accept a 5-digit Lockout Code higher than 65535.

Before accessing programmer functions enter the new code number. Write the Lockout Code number down and keep it in a secure place with access limited to authorized persons only. Lost Lockout Codes require the panel to be sent back to DMP for repair. You may cancel a Lockout Code by entering 00000 at the Set Lockout Code command.

1.6Reset Timeout

The panel has a feature that requires you to enter the Programmer within 30 minutes of resetting the panel. After 30 minutes, if you attempt to program by entering the 6653 (PROG) code, the keypad displays: RESET PANEL. You must reset the panel and enter the program code then begin programming within the next 30 minutes.

If you are already in the Programmer and do not press any keys on the programming keypad for 30 minutes, the panel terminates programming. All data entered up to that time is Not saved unless you run the Stop routine.

Note: Use the Stop routine to exit panel Programming. Ensure the keypad displays “SAVING PROGRAM” to save all programming changes entered.
