PC TO PANEL DIRECT CONNECT
- Connect NX-586E to serial port.
- Connect cable with alligator clips to a NetworX panel as follows: a. Red to POS b. Black to COM c. Green to DATA
- Start the DL900 Download software.
- Select: PROGRAM ? SETUP ? DIRECT CONNECT SETTINGS
- Select the correct port number and baud rate. Protocol must be Binary (default). The baud rate should match the NX-586E. Default is 9600. Click OK.
- Select the account to use.
- Select DOWNLOAD ? DIRECT CONNECT Note: You can also use the tool bar or the [F11] key.
- Download as normal. You cannot perform the following:
- View keypad status
- Enroll devices
- Attach the cable with the three alligator clips to the proper terminals on the NetworX panel (Refer to Section 0). Note: If you have a keypad installed in partition 8, keypad 8, it must be removed during this operation.
- On a Partition 1 keypad, enter ? 8
- Enter the 4- or 6-digit program code (default is 9713).
- When prompted for the device number, enter 2 5 5 #
- When prompted for the location, enter 0 #
- To READ or WRITE: A. Read (store the NetworX panel configuration into a file on the NX-586E): o Enter 1 ? o Enter the number of the file (1 to 4) in which you wish to save it o Enter ? # o The ?Receiving Data? LED will flash if the command is being carried out. The keypad sounder will chime (?ding-dong?) if the operation is successful. B. Write (copy a file from the NX-586E to the NetworX panel): o Enter 2 ? o Enter the number of the file to copy (1 to 4) ? # o The ?Sending Data? LED will flash if the command is being carried out. The keypad sounder will chime (?ding-dong?) if the operation is successful.
- A ?triple beep? will sound if any error occurred during either Read or Write. You can view the result in Location 0 / Segment 1 (see chart for possible results).
*99 works for dialup however I've never needed to press any keys using an NX-586, it just connects
don't got no 586. I'll have to look that up. been awhile but used to run DL900 on laptop and hayes modem to tip and ring at panel then press something at the keypadl to tell it to look for the conenction. Star99 sounds about right. thanks
You should try the 586, it's about 20 times faster, odd thing is uploading alpha keypads is still pathetically slow
got one. havent' tried it yet. only does panels, eh? no modules. but will do keypads eh. can't wait to try it out.
It does upload all modules however it appears that the speed to upload alpha keypad descriptors is no different than using a standard modem which is odd
The rest of the upload is extremely fast
