2.5 Select a File to Edit

Now that you have Work Files present in your Work File directory, the next step is to

select the file associated with the panel you will be communicating with. First, select

the “Edit a File” function from the Main Menu. Once you have done this, you will be

prompted by a second menu asking you how you wish to select the file for Editing/

Communicating. There are three ways to select a file, described below.

2.5.1 Edit a Selected File

The first method is to select a file from the menu and call the panel.

NOTE: This cannot be done when communicating with a PC1500 panel since you can

only initiate a call from the computer using this method and a PC1500 cannot answer an

incoming call. If you are using a PC1500, refer to the next section “Wait for Panel to Call”.

Choose the “Edit a Selected File” selection from the second menu. A menu will

appear on the left side of the screen containing a list of all the available Work Files.

In this list, all panel file types are mixed together and it is impossible to tell which

file name is associated with which type of panel without first editing the file. By using

the cursor keys, position the coloured bar over the name of the file you wish to edit

and press [ENTER]. The file will immediately be selected. The operation of retrieving

the file takes some time since the extensive security coding must be removed. The

security coding makes the file unreadable by any means other than editing the file

using the DLS-1 software.

2.5.2 Wait for the Panel to Call

NOTE: The PC4000 must be using version 1.3 or later software to support this feature.

If you are using a PC1500 or wish to initiate a call from any other supported panel, select

the Wait for Panel to Call option from the “Edit a File” menu. Once this item is selected, the

computer will display a message “Waiting for a panel to call”. The modem and DLS-1

software go into an “Auto-Answer” mode and wait until a ring is detected on the phone line.

The software keeps a running count of the rings that occur and when the preset

number of rings are received, as set using the Program Configuration function from

the Main Menu, it will pick up the line. Three rings are selected as the default setting;

the number of rings may be changed in the Program Configuration.

Once the call is answered, the panel sends its Panel Identification Code. The DLS-1 software

now scans your Work File directory looking for a match to the panel that has called.

If a match is not found, the software displays a message and proceeds to terminate

communications with the panel. If a match is found, the file is retrieved in the same

manner as in the Edit a Selected File method described above, except that during file

retrieval and afterwards, the panel and the computer remain in the on-line state. As

a result, there is no need to then make a connection to the panel before executing

Upload/Download functions.

NOTE:

It cannot be over stressed that all panels installed in the field and all Work Files

created must always have a Panel Identifier Code that is exclusive to that panel or

Work File. In other words, you must never have two panels or Work Files programmed

with the same code. If two identical codes are programmed, there is a good chance

that the wrong Work File will be selected and there is no way to tell if this happens.

The repercussions of this could be serious. For example: If you wanted to change the

Maid’s code you would go to that section in the file and enter the Maid’s code ONLY

and then Download that section to the panel. All the User codes would then be changed

in that panel and since it was the wrong Work File it is quite possible that many if not

all the User Access Codes would now be different than those already in the panel!

2.5.3 Execute Batch Files

This method does not apply to this example. Refer to the topic on Batch File

operations in Section 4.11.
