Yup, use the unattended downloader and set it up to download the panel as it calls in

I'm surprised you guys use it. I wouldn't trust an unattended connection to an alarm panel. Dumb I suppose but I've had things go awry with a dnload (presumably why big boys don't connect unless tech on site) What if, could the dnload tie up the panel (ie: tel line) for hours in a malfunction? Seizing the clients phone line carries some responsibility, no?

If your standing at the premise...what would the liability be?...just unplug the rj.

And conversely, I program hundreds of panels and never ever have had a problem...oh sure I've inadvertantly wiped out a panel here or there, but have been able to reprogram it in minutes. Never had a panel seize and not release a phone line....then again I don't use DSC or Nappy stuff ;-)

The big boys don't do it because...well you figure that one out...I can think of at least 2 reasons.

if you're standing at the premises, it's not an unattended download

This happens when you are not there, Mark? I meant nobody keeping an eye on the connection not somebody just watching it happen :-)

I'm never "there", I have 1 database being fed from 8 download servers and

20 workstations 4 floors up. The database has over 200,000 accounts on it.

Trust me Mikey it just works.

It is from the downloader side, someone has to initiate the download. Also do it with DS panels that auto update when they connect to the downloader weekly.

There's not one at my office is what i mean.

But I've also done scheduled completely unattended downloads too, never had a problem.

Wow, 38 replies and only 1 can be described as even remotely related to the original post.

Ok, clearly you guys are irritated by non-industry people who ask about alarms. If the topic has been discussed before can you at least post links to the previous discussion. I did search Google Groups before posting and didn't successfully find answers. (and by discussed I mean, really discussed, not 38 replies spiraling into one line cracks and inside jokes).
