Compass Software

Yea thats Tennessee alright, the second guy musta been an import :)

It's companies like that which gave me nightmares in my P1 days because they like selling accounts and "forget" to tell those companies what the CSID is. One big one that P1 had purchased.

Well, far f****ng out, the damn manual is 144 pages long too. I ain't going thru all that s*it if they have to know the account number. Mark taketh and Mark giveth away, thanks amigo.

BWAHAhahahahahahahaha years, man. let me think

The "must do a complete" download may be a function of the panel not the downloader, DSC obviously allows it but I know several panels that don't like Ademco, Caddx, AT&T etc, the bios might not permit it

and if you bitch about a whole couple of minutes doing a download then that isn't a problem with the panel or software if you know what I mean

Lol!

I started using 1555s on or about 97. 98.... 7 years, Mark I'm pretty good with DSC software. Download on the bench and upload to look things over after each install. I don't use much Ademco panels all that often so I don't use Compass much but , I must admit, Compass really pisses me off. Any simple change is a complete f****ng download, gimmee a break, and the CRC packet feedback bullshit while downloading... f*ck off, just do it, I'm not watching a suspense thriller for crissakes. Entertaining software I must admit. Pretty, very pretty.

Call ID solves such nonsense as does *69 if you're on the ball and have the panel programmed to report downloads (or did you miss that in the manual, Frank?)

I must have missed something, what happened at that time?

Call ID prevents someone from remotely downloading a panel that you forgot to program the CSID on?? Really?? I seriously doubt the panel's going to report a "download" to *your* station if the guy with the software's flipped it to his... Or screwed up the CS number so it can't dial out...

It's Friday. Have a brewskie... sit back... enjoy. The Group's been downright peaceful since about 2300 hours (PST) on the 4th.

Depends on who it is. I know all my clients the nervous ones I call first. Most of them know the procedure because I change codes for them all the time...blah blah blah.

Yah sometimes I feel a little guilty when I hear the hello? hello? he... click.

No if you really want frustration download a Napco panel sometime

Function of the panel, fer sure, otherwise they wouldn't have that big empty screen with just the one radio button and room for so many more.

What do you mean "if"? ...I'm always grumbling. Especially when I use DL software, computers too... I just find the more things change, the more they stay the same. A couple minutes to dnload with Compass? HA! it takes me a couple of minutes just to connect sometimes. If you really want to experience frustration, try the Inovonics DOS DL package, that one is waaaay fun.

Jeeeze, where the hell is Bass anyways? I can't believe he hasn't waded in on my posts yet... I 'm giving him plenty of fodder.

haha, ademco on the brain, I meant I enter *67, in the dialer string.
