Status Bar
At the bottom of the Communications Window is a Status Bar. The Status Bar
is used to display communications related messages such as ‘Upload in
Progress’ or ‘Communications Complete’. If the modem has been initialized
properly and there are no communications taking place, the Status Bar will
normally be displaying the message, ‘Waiting for Panel to Call’ or ‘Auto
Answer Disabled’. The messages found on the Status Bar can be translated
by editing the MAIN_100.LDB module in the Edit Language Window. Refer to
Edit Language in Section 6.
Ensure that the modem has been properly initialized before attempting to
communicate. If the modem has not been properly initialized, the message,
‘Modem Error’ or, ‘Error. Modem could not be Initialized’ will be displayed. All
buttons will be removed from the bottom of the Communications Window
except the INITIALIZE MODEM and PRINT buttons.
While on-line with any DLS-1 account or the Escort4580, and when
communication is idle, the DOS window for the account should be brought
to the Foreground or connection to the panel will be terminated. If
communication is taking place, the DOS window for the account can be
placed in the Background until the communications request is completed.
After a Global Download is completed, be sure to download any Status related
features, such as setting the panel time and enabling functions such as Auto
Arming, Door Chime, etc., that may be required for that account.
On slower computers, it may take some time to display each screen. Wait until
the screen is fully displayed before attempting to select any Communications
function.
Saving and Downloading Changes
When changes are made to the information in a window, they must be
downloaded to the alarm system using either Global or Selected Downloading.
Clicking “Save” in the window being edited saves the changes in the DLS-2
file, but does not automatically download the information to the system.
