Chapter 4: New Unit Setup
Doc 6001197, Rev D
Receiving Data from a New Unit
Before doing any other work on a new or upgraded unit, we recommend that you Receive All
data from the unit. This procedure may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. No other
functions are available during this procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have entered data to the SVWin database prior to connecting
to the new unit, you should perform a Receive Merge (substitute for step 7 below). The
Receive Merge function will merge the data from the Spectrum Memory with the SVWin
database. If you Receive All, all the data in your SVWin database will be deleted and
replaced with the data from the Spectrum Memory.
1 From the Main Menu, select Work On An Existing Unit Definition. The Existing Units
screen will be displayed.
2 The Panel Information grid (bottom of screen) contains a list of existing units. Select the
row of your new unit.
3 Click Work With Unit. The Work On Unit screen will be displayed.
4 From the Work On Unit screen in the Communication panel, select Connect to Unit.
The Communicate with Unit screen is displayed.
The unit's telephone number is automatically displayed in the Connection Telephone
Number box. If the site name was entered on the Add New Unit screen, the site name
appears in the Site Name box.
5 Select the Connection Type:
Automatic/Timed: The unit password is automatically sent during initial
communication.
Manual: The unit password is not automatically sent during initial communication.
6 Select Connect. SVWin will connect to the unit. When you are connected, the message
"Connected to Unit" appears in the Connect Status box.
7 In the Send/Receive Data box, select the Receive All button. SVWin will receive all the
data entered into the Spectrum Memory during installation. This process may take
anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour. Do not attempt to use other SVWin
functions while SVWin is receiving data from the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the directory code length received from the unit is different than
the directory code length specified in SVWin, SVWin will display a message stating that
there is a mismatch in the directory code size. See Directory Code Size Mismatch on
page 21 for more information.
8 When SVWin is finished receiving data, you will see a message in the lower box. Select
the Disconnect button. The message "Not Connected" will be displayed in the Connect
Status box.
9 Select Done. You will be returned to the Work On Unit Screen. You are now ready to
make changes to the unit.
