The Communications Window
When you start a DLS-2 session, two applications are opened: the main DLS-2 window
and the DSC Communications window. When you log on, the Communications Window
will open in whatever state that the window was in when the DLS-2 was last open.
The software will attempt to initialize the modem if the Auto-Answer Enabled option is
selected. The Auto-Answer Enabled option can be changed in the Modem Configuration
window.
When editing a PC4010/4020 v2.X, PC4010/4020 v3.0 or PC4020KT v1.0 account,
select communications functions in the Communications window. When you select a
communications function, the bottom of the Communications window displays the
status of the communications request that is in progress. Communications functions are
represented by icons at the bottom of the Communications window. If a function is
unavailable, the button will be grey. The function that is displayed will depend upon the
screen that is presently being displayed. Hold the mouse pointer over a button to see
the name of the function. To select a function, click on the appropriate button.
Use the Communications window to:
· Initialize the modem
· Hang up a call to an control panel
· Upload information from a control panel
· Download to a control panel
· Print information from DLS-2 windows

The Line Efficiency bar represents the quality of the telephone line connection
between the control panel and the downloading computer. If there is noise on
the phone line or if the phone line is disconnected, the Line Efficiency will
drop. If the Line Efficiency falls below 50%, the downloading computer will
discontinue communications and will hang up the modem.
