WinLoad Software Settings

Panel Answer Options

The following two options define how Magellan answers an incoming call from a computer using the WinLoad Installer Upload/Download Software.

Answering Machine Override

Section [074]: 010 to 255 seconds; 000 = disabled; Default = disabled

When using WinLoad to communicate remotely with an installation site that uses an answering machine or service, the answering machine override must be programmed. Using WinLoad, you will call Magellan, hang up, then call back. If the installation site is called back within the delay programmed in section [074], the console will override the answering machine or service by picking-up the line after the first ring on the second call. You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second call, otherwise, the console will think it is the same call.

For details on how to use WinLoad, refer to the WinLoad On-line Help.

Example: A security installation is using an answering machine set to answer after three rings. If section [074] has been programmed with 040 (40 seconds) and the second call is made within 40 seconds, Magellan will pick up the line on the first ring. If it takes more than 40 seconds, the console will not answer on the first ring and the answering machine will answer after three rings.

Number of Rings

Section [072]: 001 to 015 rings; 000 = disabled; Default = 008

This value represents the number of rings Magellan will wait before picking-up the line. If the line is not answered after the number of programmed rings, the console will answer the call. You must wait at least 10 seconds before attempting the second call or Magellan will think it is the same call.

Panel Identifier

Section [108]: 4-digit Hexa-decimal number from 0000 to FFFF

This 4-digit code identifies the console to WinLoad before initiating communication. Magellan will verify that the Panel Identifier in the WinLoad software is the same as the code programmed in section [108]. If the codes do not match, the console will not establish communication. Therefore, be sure to program the same panel identifier code into both Magellan and WinLoad.

PC Password

Section [109]: 4-digit Hexa-decimal number from 0000 to FFFF

This 4-digit password identifies the PC to Magellan before establishing communication. Program the same PC password into both the console and WinLoad. If the passwords do not match, WinLoad will not establish communication.

PC Telephone Number

Section [118]

Magellan will dial the number programmed in section [118] when trying to initiate communication with a computer using WinLoad. You can enter any digit from 0 to 9 and any special keys or functions (see Table 8 on page 26) up to a maximum of 32 digits.

Call Back Feature

Section [098]: Option [4]

Option [4] OFF = Call Back feature disabled (default) Option [4] ON = Call Back feature enabled

The Call Back feature provides additional security. When section

[098]option [4] in ON and a computer using WinLoad attempts to communicate with Magellan, the console hangs up and calls the computer back to re-verify identification codes and re-establish communication. When Magellan hangs up, WinLoad automatically goes into Wait for Call Mode, ready to answer when the console calls back. The PC Telephone number must be programmed (see PC Telephone Number on page 33).
