General Information

Downloading allows the operator to remotely access, program, and control the security system over normal telephone
lines, IP, or GSM Communicators. Anything that can be done directly from the keypad can be done remotely, using
Honeywell's COMPASS downloading software. To communicate with the control panel, the following is required.

Access Security
The following four levels of protection guard the control against compromise while it is being accessed from a remote
location:
1. Security code handshake: The subscriber's account number as well as an 8-digit ID number (known only to the
office) must be matched between the control and computer.
2. Hang-up and callback: The control panel "hangs up" and calls the computer back at the pre-programmed number
only if the security codes match.
3. Data encryption: All data that is exchanged between the computer and control is encrypted to reduce the possibility
of anyone "tapping" the line and corrupting data.
