Using The Spi Key - Honeywell Galaxy 3-48C Programming Manual

71 - SPI Key (cont'd)

Using the SPI Key

If no key is fitted the display will briefly show:
SPI Keys can be supplied in one of two ways:
1. Programmed - the SPI Key will be pre-programmed with a specific application file.
2. Un-programmed - The SPI Key is blank and contains no application or configuration data.
If the SPI Key is fitted and the key is blank, then the only option presented to the user will be 1 = Format
Key.
1 = Format Key
This function formats the key ready for copy and overwriting of panel configuration data. On selecting this
option the user is presented with a display where the top line reads "Formatting", with a progress bar shown
on the bottom line.
Once the key has been formatted the user is presented with the following options:
1 = Show Key
This option is only shown when there is existing information stored on the SPI Key and then provides options
for downloading the saved information into the panel. The user can scroll through the available files on the SPI
Key.
For each file the display toggles between the:
Filename, creation time and date of the saved data and the,
Panel Type, Panel version and file type.
A further press of the ent key will provide the user with the following two options:
1 = Use File
Selecting this option will reprogram your control panel with the software stored on the SPI key.
This will take approximately 2 minutes.
NOTE: If a new panel application file is being downloaded, the panel configuration stored in the
panel should firstly be saved from the panel to the SPI Key. The new panel application can
then copied from the SPI Key to the panel. Once the new application has been
downloaded the saved panel configuration can be copied back to the panel.
Once the process has started, the panel will validate the data, then begin reprogramming the control
panel. While reprogramming is taking place, the panel stops running. The keypads and other peripherals
will go off-line for a short period. Once the reprogramming is complete, the panel will automatically
reboot. Once the panel has fully reconfigured, power may be removed or any previously saved
configuration can be restored via option 1 = show key and selecting the appropriate file.
CAUTION: Do not remove power or unplug the SPI key until the panel has restarted.
