RemoteProgrammer
Both the Total Home system and System 7000 requires the use of a PC based programmer to make configuration changes to the system.
The programing both local and remote is performed via a modem and the RJ-31 jack inside the control panel. When the system is connected to a phone line the programming can be done via the programmer after permission is given via the local control panel to do so.
The programmer requires the use of a 2400 baud Hayes compatible modem that supports reverse calling.
The modem may be connected to serial communication ports 1, 2, or 3.
The programmer is a DOS program and has been tested to run inside a DOS box on Windows XP. Sometimes configuring the Windows system to support this can be a bit tricky, I remember having to use a program that remapped some of the hardware to make it work.
Tested compatible modems are:
Hayes SmartModem 2400 (model 231AA),
Edison Super Modem 2400,
Zoom MX2400R,
Zoom FaxModem FX9624,
BocaModem 2400 (model M0024E)
SmartLink FAX MODEM 9624PS,
US Robotics Sportster 14.4 Faxmodem,
Zoom FaxModem FX9624V (aka FAXMODEM 96V),
ZOOM/MODEM V.42BIS, and
Megahertz XJ1144 (PCMCIA card) if it has chipset C40,
Megahertz XJ2144 (PCMCIA card), and
Zoltrix FM-144ATI Internal Fax/Modem.
