LYNXR-I Installation and Setup Guide

Remote Programming/Control (Downloading)

General Information

The control panel can be remotely programmed from an IBM-compatible Personal Computer (PC), a HAYES Modem, and ADEMCO’s Compass Downloader for Windows (as specified below).

UL Downloading may only be performed if a technician is at the site.

Multiple security levels protect remote programming against compromise by attempts to defeat the system.

1.Security Code Handshake: An 8-digit download ID code must be matched between the Control and downloader.

2.Site-Initiated Remote Programming: The installer or subscriber initiates the call from the subscriber premises (by entering Installer Code + # + 1) while disarmed. All parameters can then be downloaded via the phone lines using a personal computer.

3.Station-Initiated Remote Programming: The operator calls the site from your office to initiate the download call. The Control hangs up and then calls back the PC via the preprogrammed telephone number. The unit can then be uploaded, downloaded, or controlled from your office.

4.Telco Handoff: The installer or subscriber performs a download session on the call initiated from the site or from local laptop computer (by entering Installer or Master Code + # + 1 at the control panel).

5.Data Encryption: Data passed between the PC and the Control is encrypted for security so that it is very difficult for a foreign device tapped into the phone line to take over communication and substitute system-compromising information.

Equipment required to download to a system at the premises

•An IBM PC compatible computer and appropriate interconnecting cables.

•Either a HAYES brand SMARTMODEM 1200 (Level 1.2 or higher external or Level 1.1 or higher [with 4 position DIP switch] internal style), a HAYES brand Optima 336 external, a HAYES brand Optima 24 Plus FAX96, or an Ademco CIA Modem.

•Compass Downloader for Windows (at revision level supporting LYNXR-I).

Initial Download: Enter Installer Code + # + 5. This sets field ✻95 to 4 rings, and system to “no call-back” option. The download computer can then call the subscriber, make connection, and download all programming data.

Flexible Callback: If enabled in field ✻93, the download operator can temporarily change the last 1, 2, or 3 digits (depending on selection) of the call back number. This allows the control to call back a computer other than the one programmed, which may be helpful at times of high computer traffic. See field ✻93 for a full description.

Remote Programming Information

If using Remote Programming, the LYNXR-I must be connected to the telephone line or to the Internet, as applicable.

The downloading system can perform many functions when in communication with the Control. Besides uploading and downloading, the status of the system can be observed and various commands can be initiated, as follows:

•Arm the system in the away mode; disarm the system.

•Bypass a zone.

•Force the system to accept a new program download.

•Shut down communication functions (for nonpayment of monitoring fees in an owned system).

•Shut down all security system functions (for nonpayment for a leased system).

•Inhibit local keypad programming (prevents account takeover).
