If you still have problems or questions after reading this manual help is at hand. See the Troubleshooting and Help section for sources of additional information. 2. Installation When supplied, the D1154 GSM DigiCom Programmer includes: a) the D1154 software installation programme supplied on CD; b) a D0355 NVM programming socket. Everything that you require is supplied for an NVM programmer connected to your PC. 1. With the programming socket disconnected from the PC, power up the PC, enter the password

etc. Ensure that the boot-up sequence has completed. 2. Very Important: Before installing this software it is essential that all older versions are first

removed from the PC. To uninstall, use the Windows utility. Press the Windows START menu, select the SETTINGS,

CONTROL PANEL option. Then select the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMMES icon. From the list, select the programme to be uninstalled, then press the UNINSTALL button. Follow screen instructions. Repeat for all older versions of this software.


2. Installation (cont’d) Delete older folders. Double-click on the MY COMPUTER icon to open it. Double-click on the C hard

disk to open it. Delete the folder named ‘Dycon’ by dragging it to the Recycle Bin, or right-click on it, then select the DELETE option. Repeat the DELETE action for folders called GSMREMOT and REMOTE.

3. Install the programmer software on the PC. First, ensure that all older versions of this software are removed from the PC. The D0402 Products CD contains the installation software and manuals for all of the Dycon programmers. A program launcher will also be installed. See Appendix 2. To install the D1154 software, simply run SETUP.EXE from the CD or select the D1154 programmer using the browser on the CD. Then follow the on-screen instructions. When installation is complete, remove the CD and store in a cool dry place. The installer will install all of the files for the D1154 programmer onto the PC’s hard disk into the PROGRAM FILES folder. A folder called DYCON will be added that contains all Dycon product software. The D1154 programmer will be installed in the DYCON \ D1154 DIGICOM PROGRAMMER folder.

4. Connect the NVM programming socket. Two types are available. Refer to Table 1. The D0355 programming socket is supplied with a lead that connects to the PC’s USB port. This programming socket can be used on Windows 98 or any more recent Windows version. When this programming socket is used, the D1154 programmer software must be v2.01.00 or later. See Appendix 1 for details. The earlier D0354 programming socket connects to the PC’s printer (or LPT) port. This programming socket can be used with the D1154 programmer software but can only be used on Windows 95, 98, 98SE or ME. See Appendix 1 for details.

Note 1: When the D0355 programming socket is connected and is first detected by Windows, the USB driver software is located and installed. Some versions of Windows do not contain suitable USB drivers and will display a screen message. In this case, open the D0402 Products CD, open the DYCONDATA folder, open the D0355 folder, open the USB DRIVERS folder, select the FTDIBUS.INF file and follow screen instructions.

Note 2: Where Windows XP is in use and a ‘firewire’ port or some other peripherals are fitted, then the PC may not always recognise the D0355 programming socket on the USB port. If the programming socket is not detected by the PC:

- From the START menu, select the CONTROL PANEL, then select PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE.

- Select SYSTEM, then select the HARDWARE tab, then press the DEVICE MANAGER button. - Double-click PORTS, then double-click the USB SERIAL PORT, then select the PORT SETTINGS

tab. - Press the ADVANCED button and locate the COM PORT NUMBER box. - Where the COM PORT NUMBER is 16 or lower then close all windows by their OK or CLOSE

buttons. - Where the COM PORT NUMBER is not displayed or a number of 17 or greater is displayed then

choose a port number that is not used. The port number chosen must be 16 or lower. - Click to highlight it. Click the OK button. Close all windows by their OK or CLOSE buttons. 5. Start the D1154 program by double-clicking on the DYCON PROGRAMS icon that is in the

START menu, PROGRAMS option. Alternatively, the program can be started using the shortcut called DYCON PROGRAMS that has been placed on the Windows desktop. This will start the program launcher.

Table 2

To read from an NVM 1. Install the D1154 software. See Section 2.

Connect a D0354 or D0355 programming socket. See Section 2. Adjust the setup options for the programming socket. See Section 11. The D0355 programming socket includes LEDs to indicate operation. See Appendix 1.

2. Fit the NVM into the programming socket. See Fig 6. 3. Press the READ button (see Fig 2) or use the NVM menu, READ command. 4. The NVM data may now be read from each of the screens. Select each as required using the

toolbar buttons or select from the VIEW menu. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13. To program an NVM 1. Install the D1154 software. See Section 2.

Connect a D0354 or D0355 programming socket. See Section 2. Adjust the setup options for the programming socket. See Section 11. The D0355 programming socket includes LEDs to indicate operation. See Appendix 1.

2. Fit the NVM that you intend to program into the programming socket. The type must be 93C46 or Dycon D1055. See Fig 6.

3. Select each screen as required using the toolbar buttons or select from the VIEW menu. Program the data required into each screen. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13. Note: The minimum programming required to make an NVM to test a system is to enter the telephone number that DigiCom will dial when reporting to an ARC then program an account number (chip number). All other settings may be left at the default values.

4. Press the WRITE button (see Fig 2) or use the NVM menu PROGRAM command.


3. Operation (cont’d) DigiCom Reporting When DigiCom is triggered it will initially attempt to dial and report to telephone number 1 using the account number (or chip number) to identify the DigiCom. DigiCom will use the DTMF Fast Format protocol to report to the receiving equipment at the ARC. Should this first attempt be unsuccessful, DigiCom will repeat the attempt to telephone number 2 after a preset pause. Should this second attempt be unsuccessful, DigiCom will repeat the attempt to telephone number 3 after a preset pause. Where a second or third telephone number has not been programmed, the repeat attempts are made in turn to the telephone numbers that have been programmed. After 3 attempts to report to a number have failed, the ‘Fail to Communicate’ state will operate the fault relay. In accordance with PSTN approval requirements, a maximum of 5 attempts will be made to each number. No further dialling attempts are made once the alarm message has been successfully passed to an ARC receiver. If a ‘Comms Successful’ output is specified in the NVM, this will occur at the same time. 4. Programming Numbers Select the NUMBERS button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, NUMBERS command to reach the CALLING INFO screen. This is where the numbers that the DigiCom will call are programmed.

Fig. 3

The following parameters can be set from this window. Note that at least one telephone numbers must be entered. 1 PSTN 1 - this is the first telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. A

telephone number must be entered here. Enter the digits that are to be dialled. Do not put spaces between the numbers. If you require detection of a dial-tone after dialling a prefix digit, insert the character ‘D’ after the prefix. If you want a fixed 4-second dial pause, insert the character ‘A’ at the point that you require the pause. E.g. 9D132A01895624402, This will grab the telephone line, dial 9 (prefix for an outside line), wait until a dial-tone is detected, then dial 132 to access the Mercury network, wait 4 seconds then dial 01895 624 402. See Section 3, DigiCom Reporting for a description of the dialling sequence.


4. Programming Numbers (cont’d)

2. PSTN 2 - this is the second telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. See PSTN 1 for details. The entry of a second telephone number here is optional.

3. PSTN 3 - this is the third telephone number at the ARC that the DigiCom will call via the PSTN. See PSTN 1 for details. The entry of a third telephone number here is optional.

4. PSTN dialling - select dialling type from Pulse dial, MF (tone) dial, or MF with 3-way calling. Where the DigiCom shares its telephone line with other equipment, e.g. a fax machine, and 3- way calling is available from the telecomms supplier, this feature should be selected. Correct operation of 3-way calling requires the PSTN wiring to the DigiCom to be as recommended in the DigiCom Installation Manual. Three-way calling and correct wiring will enable a call to the other equipment, e.g. a fax machine, to be interrupted should the DigiCom need to send an alarm call on the telephone path. Note that 3-way calling may attract an additional charge from the telecomms supplier.

5. Account Number - sets the account number (sometimes called the chip number) that identifies this DigiCom site (normally 4 digits). An account number must be entered here.

6. Increment - this button simply increments the account number shown and is helpful if you are programming several NVMs with sequential numbers.

5. Input Settings Select the Inputs button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, INPUTS command to reach the Input Settings screen. The input screen sets the configuration of DigiCom inputs. The setup parameters are simply selected by clicking in the boxes relative to each particular input.

Fig. 4

The following input parameters can be programmed from this window: 1. Inverted changes the input response from a positive applied start to a positive removed start. 2. Channel (1 to 8) - enter a number in each box (1-8) to determine which channel of the

transmission will be controlled by which input. Active channels will be triggered when a particular input is activated. Enter 0 for those inputs that will not trigger a transmission to an ARC. Where a D1101 Plug-on DigiCom is used, it may be necessary to program that different channels are triggered from the 8 inputs. This feature allows any channel to be triggered by any input.

3. Restore selects those inputs that are required to send a restore signal to the ARC once the input has changed back to its normal state.

4. Open/Close - select those inputs that report open and closings instead of alarm and restores. When this is selected, both ‘open’ and ‘close’ will always be reported. The ‘Restore’ selection for this input will have no effect.

5. Comms Success - select those channels that will make the output relay operate for a period after every successful transmission. See Comms Success on page 9.


5. Input Settings (cont’d) 6. Abort selects which channel will signal Alarm Abort to the ARC. This feature enables older

alarm systems to comply with the ACPO false alarms policy (see Glossary of Terms). The same channel should have its corresponding input disabled or no connection made to that input (See Channels, Fig 4). If the Alarm Abort information is not required, select the Off position (next to No.1).

7. Delayed Reporting selects a 20 second delay between triggering (and restoral) of channel 3 and sending the transmission to the ARC. This feature can be used to reduce false alarms by allowing the alarm system user to reset an alarm within 20 seconds and avoid a channel 3 call to the ARC. Example: With the delay selected and set to 20 seconds, an input signal up to 19 seconds will not start a transmission. If the input signal is applied and stays applied for 21 seconds or longer, then the alarm transmission will be triggered.

6. Monitoring and Outputs Select the MONITORING button (see Fig 2) or use the VIEW menu, MONITORING command to reach the Monitoring & Outputs screen. Monitoring is used by the DigiCom to ascertain whether the PSTN signaling path is faulty.

Fig. 5 This screen has three parts. The top right quadrant of the window sets the Line Monitor for the type of monitoring. The bottom left quadrant of the window sets the OUTPUTS. The top right left of the window sets the TEST CALLS and other timing functions. The following pages describe each in detail.


Line Monitor The top right quadrant of the window sets the Line Monitor for the type of monitoring on the PSTN line (see Fig 5). 1. 24-Hour DC Voltage Check, continuously checks for a DC voltage on the PSTN line that

comes from the exchange equipment. If it is below approx. 3.5 volts or absent, then the line monitor will trigger a ‘PSTN Line Fault’.

2. 24-Hour Off-hook Detect, continuously checks for another phone (or fax, modem etc.) on the same PSTN line being off-hook. If it is, it may inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If the off-hook state is detected, the line monitor will trigger a ‘PSTN Line Fault’. This option should only be selected for PSTN lines that have no other equipment connected to the PSTN line and no other equipment connected the DigiCom A1 and B1 terminals.

3. 24-Hour Ringing Detect, continuously checks for incoming ringing on the PSTN line. Incoming Ringing may inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If incoming ringing is detected, the line monitor will trigger a ‘PSTN Line Fault’. This option should only be selected for PSTN lines that are supplied as Incoming Ringing Barred (ICB), i.e. they shouldl never have ringing on them.

PSTN Line Monitor

4. 24-Hour Dial Tone Detect, periodically checks the PSTN line by listning for dial tone, dialling

the digit 5 and ensuring that the dial-tone disappears. An absent dial tone can inhibit DigiCom from making a telephone call. If the dial tone test fails, then the line monitor will trigger a ‘PSTN Line Fault’. The period is selected by Tests, 2 and 3 below.

5. Defeat Line Monitor Output - select this to disable the line monitor output on the D1101 Plug-on DigiCom. Note that this control has no effect on the D1100 DigiCom.

6. Dedicated Line selects the recommended combination of options when DigiCom is using a PSTN line that has been provided exclusively for the alarm system where no other equipment will use the same PSTN line. Other equipment may be a telephone, a fax, a modem etc…

7. Shared Line selects the recommended combination of options when DigiCom is sharing a PSTN line with other equipment. A series connection to the shared equipment is recommended. See DigiCom Installation Manual. Note: it is recommended that the monitoring for a shared line is not changed from the pre-set parameters, otherwise a line fault may occur when the PSTN line is in use by other equipment, e.g. a telephone, a fax, a modem etc…

Tests The top left quadrant of the window sets the Test Calls for regular tests calls to the ARC and the various timing functions (see Fig 5). 1. Test Call Interval - sets the period in hours between automatic test calls. A setting of 0 turns

off all automatic test calls. The period between test calls is set in periods of hours, 1 to 99. Test calls are only sent after the Test Call Interval has elapsed following the last call (the last call may be alarm, open close, test etc…).

2. Unset Dialtone Test Interval - sets the period (0 to 99 minutes) between dial-tone tests when the system is set. See Line Monitor, 4 above. A value of 0 will switch off dial-tone testing during the unset period. It is recommended that this feature is not enabled on a shared telephone line.

3. Set Dialtone Test Interval - sets the period (0 to 99 minutes) between dial-tone tests when the system is unset. See Line Monitor, 4 above. A value of 0 will switch off dial-tone testing during the set period.

4. Comm Fail Time - sets the time in seconds that the output relay will be operated when a communication to the ARC is un-successful. See Output 1 and 2.

5. Comm Success Time - sets the time in seconds that the output relay will be operated when a communication to the ARC is successful. See Output 1 and 2.


Outputs The bottom left quadrant of the window sets the OUTPUTS relay functions (see Fig 5) for output 1 and 2. Only one of the following may be selected: Line Monitor, Comms Fail, Comms Success. 1. Line Monitor - select to make the output relay operate in response to the line monitor output. 2. Comms Fail - select to make the output relay operate for a period after every failure to make

a successful transmission. The period is set by the Comm Fail Time (see Tests, 4). All failed transmissions including test calls will operate the relay.

3. Comms Success - select to make the output relay operate for a period after every successful transmission for selected channels. See Comms Success on page 11. The period is set by the Comm Success Time (see Tests, 5). All successful transmissions including test calls will operate the relay.

3. Comms in Progress 4. Inverted - makes the output relay ‘normally energised’. The functions above will make the

relay de-energise when operated. 5. Latched - makes the output relay stay in the ‘operated’ state until the DigiCom is reset or has

power removed and replaced. When this option is selected the Comm Fail Time and Comm Success Time (see Tests, 4 and 5) are not used.

7. Reading and Comparing an NVM Ensure that the Programming Socket is connected to the computer as described in the Installation, Section 2. Using the Read, Write & Compare buttons or the NVM menu options on the main screen, follow the instructions below. Fitting an NVM into the Programming Socket Lift the lever on the NVM programming socket. Fit the 8 pin NVM into the lower half of the socket (the end nearest the lever). Ensure that the end of the NVM marked with a dot or line identifying Pin 1 is towards the upper half of the socket. Lower the lever to lock the NVM in the socket. See Fig 6.

Fig. 6

To read from an NVM using the Programming Socket 1. Install the D1154 Programmer software. See Section 2.

Connect a Programming Socket. See Section 2. Adjust the setup options for the Programming Socket. See section 11. Note: The D0355 Programming Socket includes LEDs to indicate operation. See Appendix 1.

2. Fit the NVM into the programming socket. 3. Press the Read button or use the NVM menu, Read command. See Fig 2.

When the read process is complete, the Prom read OK message will be displayed. If the NVM contains data that is invalid for DigiCom operation then the NVM Invalid Data message is displayed when the NVM is read. In addition a red warning triangle will flash on the toolbar. Invalid Data means information that DigiCom requires is obviously incorrect, e.g. no telephone numbers, an account number that has letters as well as numbers, a blank NVM etc.

4. The NVM data may now be read from each of the screens. Select each as required using the toolbar buttons or select from the View menu. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13.


To program an NVM using the Programming Socket 1. Install the D1154 programmer software. See Section 2.

Connect a programming socket. See Section 2. Adjust the setup options for the programming socket. See Section 11. Note: The D0355 programming socket includes LEDs to indicate operation. See Appendix 1.

2. Fit the NVM that you intend to program into the programming socket. 3. Select each screen as required using the toolbar buttons or select from the View menu.

Program the data required into each screen. See Sections 4, 5, 6 and 13. Note: The minimum required to test a system is: Program the telephone numbers that DigiCom will dial when reporting to an ARC, then Program an Account Number (the Chip Number).

4. Press the Program button or use the NVM menu Program command. See Fig 2. There are many other programming options. The above will program an NVM with the default values which will allow the Dualcom to operate in most cases. If the NVM already contains some data, the NVM Not Blank message is displayed before programming commences. After 1-2 seconds the Prom programmed OK message will be displayed. The Prog Fail message will be displayed if an NVM can not be programmed. Prog Fail often indicates that there is insufficient power available to program the NVM. Check the connections from the Programmer PSU.

Comparing an NVM with the screen Parameters If you wish to compare the information held in the NVM with that of the programmer, click on the Compare button (see Fig 2) or use the NVM menu Compare command. If the data held in the NVM is identical with that held in the programmer, the Compare OK message is displayed. If any bit of data in the NVM differs from that on the Programmer screen, then a message will be displayed together with the location of that data in the NVM plus the NVM data and the differing data. When the data has been noted, press the OK button to see the next location that is different. Press the Cancel button to end the compare display. 8. Viewing and Printing Files Open a ‘.PRM’ file as described in Section 9 or read an NVM fitted in the programming socket. This will load a NVM file into the Programmer. All settings may then be viewed by selecting each screen using the toolbar buttons or by the menus as described on the preceding pages. Use the File menu Print command to print a copy of the current setup condition. This text file will represent all the settings within the Programmer at this time. 9. Loading and Saving Files to Disk Files that are created on the D1154 Programmer can be saved to disc as ‘.PRM’ files. This is particularly useful because a library of masters can then be stored on disc for access when required. Use the Open and Save file buttons (see Fig 2) exactly as with files in any other Windows program. Name each file to identify it to a particular site with the extension ‘PRM, e,g, MASTER1.PRM. See Fig 7. The Save As command is available on the File menu for creating new files. Most users program an NVM as a Master NVM containing their normal setups, telephone numbers etc… This may be done by saving the Master NVM as a file on the PC. Making a new NVM requires opening the Master NVM file, entering the required Account Number and pressing the NVM Write button.


9. Loading and Saving Files to Disk

10. DTMF Fast Format Table 3 shows the full range of data that is sent from a DigiCom every time it sends a transmission to the ARC receiving equipment using the DTMF Fast Format protocol. A transmission consists of 8 channels of data followed by the one test channel. Each channel carries a single digit. The digits that can be carried by the 8 channels are shown in Table 3 ‘1-8 Data’. The digit that can be carried by the Test channel is shown in Table 3 ‘T Data’. 1-8 Data T Data Meaning1 New alarm event 2 Opening event 3 New alarm restoral 4 Closing event 5 No event, input is in the quiescent state.

Alarm channel = No alarm Open/close channel = Closed, Set

6 No event, input is in the active state. Alarm channel = Alarm Open/close channel = Open, Unset

13. System Information (cont’d)

Fig 11 – Edit System Information screen

The following PSTN Tone functions can be programmed from this window: 1. Dialtone Frequency Min - defines the lower edge of the band of frequencies that may be

detected as a dialtone prior to dialling a number on the PSTN. 2. Dialtone Frequency Max - defines the upper edge of the band of frequencies that may be

detected as a dialtone prior to dialling a number on the PSTN. 3. Dialtone Detect Time - the period for which dialtone must be present before detection is

successful. This may be continuous or pulsed. 4. Blind Dial - select this to make Dualcom dial on the PSTN after the Wait period without having

to detect a dialtone. 5. First Handshake Frequency Min - defines the lower edge of the band of frequencies that may

be detected as the first handshake frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol. 6. First Handshake Frequency Max - defines the upper edge of the band of frequencies that may

be detected as the first handshake frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol. 7. Second Handshake Frequency Min - defines the lower edge of the band of frequencies that

may be detected as the second handshake frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol.

8. Second Handshake Frequency Max - defines the upper edge of the band of frequencies that may be detected as the second handshake frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol.

9. Acknowledge Frequency Min - defines the lower edge of the band of frequencies that may be detected as the acknowledge (or kissoff) frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol.

10. Acknowledge Frequency Max - defines the upper edge of the band of frequencies that may be detected as the acknowledge (or kissoff) frequency of the Fast Format alarm transmission protocol.

11. Attempts to Fail - the number of reporting attempts that will be made on the PSTN path from one triggering action aftwer which the fault relay will operate.

12. Attempts to Abort - the maximum number of reporting attempts that will be made on the PSTN path from one triggering action.

13. Wait Between Attempts - the time from the end of a failed reporting attempt on the PSTN path to the start of the next attempt on the DigiCom PSTN path.

14. Dial Pause - the time (in seconds) that an ‘A’ in the telephone number will cause a pause in dialling the numerical digits.

15. Dialtone Wait - the time (in seconds) that the DigiCom will wait for a dialtone after grabbing the telephone line. After this period, the unit will dial anyway if the Blind Dial box is selected, else the reporting attempt will fail.


13. System Information (cont’d) 16. Pulse Dial Make Time - a time in milli-seconds for the pulse (loop-disconnect) dialling contact

make period. 17. Pulse Dial Break Time - a time in milli-seconds for the pulse (loop-disconnect) dialling contact

break period. 18. Interdigit Pause - a time in milli-seconds for the pulse (loop-disconnect) dialling contact make

period between successive dialled digits. 19. DTMF On Time - a time in milli-seconds for the DTMF (tone) dialling on period. 20. DTMF Off Time - a time in milli-seconds for the DTMF (tone) dialling off period. 21. Handshake Wait - a time in seconds from the start of dialling that the DigiCom will wait for the

handshake from the ARC receiver, after which the call attempt will fail. 22. NVM Identifier - identifies the NVM as containing the DigiCom data. The options are: 31 = Scantronic Scancom 8400, 8440, 9056 Digital Communicators. When using the Scantronic 7200 or 7300 programmer, access to the Manufacturers Data area (0097 to 0127) is inhibited. 32 = Scantronic Scancom 8400, 8440, 9056 Digital Communicators. When using the Scantronic 7200 or 7300 programmer, full NVM access is enabled. 44 = DigiCom D1100 & D1101 Digital Communicators. Scantronic Scancom units will NOT operate with this address being set to 44. 23. NVM Version - not used. This is reserved for use when a Scantronic digital communicator NVM

is used. 24. DigiCom Version - two BCD digits, i.e. 00 to 99 will be written to this address to identify the

version of the PSTN package of software that is in the microprocessor. This address is written to during power-up.

25. Long Telephone Numbers - there is space in the NVM for 4 standard-length telephone numbers or 3 long numbers. Long numbers may contain upto 28 digits each. Standard numbers may contain upto 21 digits each.

26. Fast Test - reduces the regular auto-test call timer and line monitor timer from hours to minutes. This allows rapid testing of these features.

27. Long Anti-Jam - when triggered, the DigiCom will wait for a period in the on-hook state and with the linedivert relay operated to allow any call that may have been in progress to clear down. This period is normally 2 seconds. When Long Anti-Jam is selected, then the period is 4 seconds.

14. Troubleshooting and Help The Programming Socket does not Read or Program an NVM. Check that the NVM type is 93C46. The D0354 parallel programming socket is only for use with the Windows 95, 98 or ME operating systems. It cannot be used with Windows NT, 2000, XP or later operating system. The D0355 USB programming socket can be used with Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP or later operatingsystems. Check that the NVM is fitted in the programming socket correctly. Try using a new NVM. Check that the programming socket is correctly connected to the correct PC port. Check that the PC port is working using other software that is known to use that port successfully. Try using another port if available. Check that no other software is running on the PC that uses that same port. Where the D0354 parallel programming socket is used, unplug any printer and check that the PSU is connected to the programming socket and has been set correctly. Check that the settings requirements of Section 11 are correct. The DigiCom transmission is not received by the Alarm Receiving Centre? Check that the NVM is fitted and has been correctly programmed, i.e. correct telephone numbers etc. Check that the DigiCom has been installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Check that the System Area of the NVM is correct. Check that the telephone numbers and account numbers (chip number) in the NVM are correct for the ARC.


14. Troubleshooting and Help (cont’d) The DigiCom reports PSTN Line Faults when the line is working. Ensure that the PSTN line has been connected to the DigiCom as recommended in the DigiCom Installation Manual. Refer to the line monitor, Section 6 in this manual. Ensure that the settings are suitable for the PSTN line that is connected to the DigiCom. Switch off all line monitor functions and try again. Disconnect any other telephone equipment connected to the PSTN line, e.g. another telephone, fax, modem etc., and try again. Disconnect any other telephone equipment connected to the DigiCom A1 and B1 terminals, e.g. another telephone, fax, modem etc., and try again.

APPENDIX 1

D0355 NVM Programming Socket The D0355 NVM programming socket connects to a USB port on the PC and is used to read and program NVM chips that can then be plugged into a DigiCom. To use this USB programming socket, requires that the D1154 programmer software that runs on the PC must be version v2.01.00 or later, also that the Windows version is Windows 98 or more recent. The programming socket includes 3 LEDs to indicate its operation. These are described in the table below. LED INDICATION MEANING ACTIONA, B & C Red, Yellow & Green LEDs

Programming Socket Firmware Whenever the D1154 programmer software detects the D0355 programming socket on the PC’s USB port it will read the version number of the firmware in the D0355 programming socket microprocessor. If this requires updating then the D1154 Programmer software will send new firmware to the D0355 programming socket microprocessor. Manually Wiping the Programming Socket Firmware In the event that firmware updating fails (see above) a message will be given on the PC screen. Restart the D1154 programmer software on the PC. If the fault persists then it will be necessary to ‘manually wipe’ the firmware in the D0355 programming socket. To manually wipe the programming socket firmware:

1. Unplug the USB lead from the D0355 programming socket. 2. Remove the 4 screws that hold the D0355 programming socket case. 3. Lift the programming socket board away from its case to allow access to the

underside of the board. 4. Press and hold the push-button that is next to the USB connector. 5. With the push-button held down, reconnect the USB lead. 6. Continue to hold the push-button until the yellow LED starts to flash rapidly. 7. Release the push-button. 8. Unplug the USB lead from the D0355 programming socket. 9. Reassemble the case and replace the 4 screws.

Reconnect the USB lead to the D0355 programming socket and restart the D1154 programmer software. The D0354 NVM Programming Socket The D0354 NVM programming socket connects to a parallel (or printer) LPT port on the computer and can only be used with Windows versions 95, 98, 98SE or ME. This item will not be available after April 2004. This programming socket has a connector that is a feed-through type which your printer can also connect to. Some printers, particularly Hewlett Packard printers, operate in a different way to the majority of printers available. If you find that printing or NVM programming is adversely affected when the D0354 and the printer are connected, only connect one or the other to the PC parallel LPT port. Switch units are available from general PC suppliers to make this selection easier. Connect the PSU to the programming socket’s PSU at the rear of the programmer. Where the DC voltage from the power supply can be adjusted, ensure that the setting on the power supply is:

- 6 volts DC - the plug connector tip = positive

Programming NVMs without the power supply is possible on some PCs. In these cases you do not need to connect the PSU.

APPENDIX 3

Glossary of Terms Alarm Abort A facility to reduce false alarms requiring police response. Specified by ACPO (The Association of Chief Police Officers) in the UK. An Alarm Abort situation occurs when the alarm system is set, and an alarm occurs, and then it is reset by the alarm system being unset by a key or valid user code, all within 90 seconds. This false alarm is often caused by the user of an alarm system failing to set or unset the system correctly. The Alarm Abort signal identifies this situation to the ARC thus avoiding an unnecessary police visit to the site. ARC - Alarm Receiving Centre See ARS ARS - Alarm Receiving Station A central station. Normally a privately owned and operated manned centre capable of receiving and logging calls of alarm and forwarding them to security authorities and other relevant services. DTMF Fast Format - Alarms Reporting Protocol This is a protocol that DigiCom can use to send transmissions to receiving equipment at an ARC, and to receive checking and acknowledgement replies from that receiving equipment. DigiCom uses 8-channel DTMF Fast Format protocol only. This is a DTMF (push-button telephone tone) type protocol. EEPROM - Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A type of NVM. See NVM. ISDN - International Switched Digital Network. A digital telephone and data service supplied as a higher speed / wider bandwidth alternative to the PSTN. NVM - Non Volatile Memory. An integrated circuit memory device that does not need any power to remember data. PSTN - Public Switched Telephone Network. The national analogue speech telephone system. TA - Terminal Adapter. The terminating equipment connected to an ISDN line at a user’s premises. The TA enables serial connections to computers using a bus system called S-Bus. Some terminal adapters also enable PSTN type telephone equipment to be connected. WEB SITE - The Dycon Internet Web Site The Dycon web site www.dyconsecurity.com contains the latest copies of all manuals for all Dycon products. Please ensure that you are working from the latest version. You can also download associated information and software samplers. Dycon sales, shipping and contact information is here too. 3-Way Calling This is a service provided by some telecommunication service providers - BT in the UK offer this service. When a call is in progress on a telephone line it is possible to send a signal via that line to the equipment at the telephone exchange. The exchange will put the current call on ‘hold’ and provide a dialling tone so that another outgoing call may be made. When this second call has finished a signal to the exchange will disconnect the second call and re-connect the first one that was put on ‘hold’.
