Downloaderconnects with the control unit either locally over the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port or, ifyou have fitted an i-sd02, i-dig02 or i-gsm02 module, remotely over a telephone line. (Thei-on30EXD and i-on50EXD can use their built-in communicators for remote connections.)While connected Downloader can inspect and/or change the control unit’s programmingconfiguration. If you do not wish to change the configuration you can simply monitor thestate of the control unit and its zones from the PC.When you have finished making changes to the control unit’s programming then use theDisconnect icon in Downloader to end the connection. DO NOT remove power from thecontrol unit before disconnecting or all your changes will be lost.The alarm system user can prevent a control unit from accepting incoming calls fromDownloader. If the user sets the User Menu - System Config – Facilities On/Off – RemoteAccess option to “No” then the control unit will reject all attempts by Downloader to open aconnection. Note that this option does NOT prevent the alarm system user from starting acall to Downloader by using User Menu – System Config – Call Downloader.If you intend to use an i-gsm02 module then:For dial-in access then you must provide a SIM card that permits data traffic.A voice only SIM will allow a user to start a call to Downloader from the User Menu.
