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 the Installer Code + # + 1, while the system is 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 the 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 or via a capable GSM or IP communications device.
• Compass Downloader for Windows (at revision level supporting Lynx Plus Series).
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. Refer to 93 Flexible
Callback programming field for additional information.
Remote Programming Information
If using Remote Programming, the Lynx Plus Series 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).
• Command the system to upload a copy of its resident program to the office.
• Set the time
• View/Modify
• X10/ Scheduling
