HOW TO USE THE MANUAL
This programming manual explains all the programming options available for the RD6203 modem/dialler.
Using the menu structured program, in conjunction with the programming map, any required option may be
easily and quickly selected.
All the menu items are explained in the chapter ‘Menu Contents,’ and they are also listed in the programming
map. Each menu item in the map has a quick code number associated with it. These numbers are repeated
in the section numbering of the ‘Menu Contents’ chapter to help you quickly locate information about the
menu item.
An example of the method used is shown below:
Programming map:
The quick code of menu item ‘1 event/call’ is 5.2.1.
Menu Content’s chapter:
5.2.1 Every event in a separate data block
Here you set whether 1 or several events per data block are sent to the central station. This
option must normally be set at ‘Yes’.
The organisation of this manual is based on standard programming.
At the back of the manual you will find a short explanation of the protocols, SIA extensions, contact ID codes,
transport PC, as well as an index.

A few programming options require the use of the zero (0) key to toggle a digit ON or OFF a display. An
example of this use is shown on page 25 in “Report options programming.”
Version V6.0 diallers may be used with the CD range of control panels using
version V5.x or V6.0 software.
TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION
Regardless of the panel software version, always default the dialler before
programming.
Note: If the dialler is defaulted to version 6, version 5 panels will not be able
to default the dialler.

PROGRAMMING MAP FOR THE RD62
The following programming map provides an overview of all the menus available from the RD6203
modem/dialler.
Selecting a menu item
There are two methods for selecting the different menu items:
1. Use the keypad keys to scroll through the menu items (the step-by-step method). The programming map
shows the keypad keys you should press in order to arrive at the menu items. When you arrive at the
desired item, press the accept key ü. You will then move to the next set of items.
The symbols used to represent the keys are as follows:
üAccept X Reject ↓Move forward ↑Move backward
2. Use the menu item’s quick code. With this method you simply enter the number(s) shown in the menu
items’ boxes of the programming map and the display will immediately select the item for you. This
method is much quicker than scrolling through the items because you press fewer keys. Consequently, it
is also less prone to keystroke errors.
The quick code numbers do not appear on the keypad display. They are shown on the programming map
to help you locate an item.
For example:
To select the item “SIA Freq. BELL” the keystrokes required are as follows:
Using the step-by-step method: Using the quick code method:
ââââ to select PROTOCOL OPT 5 to select PROTOCOL OPT
üâ to select SIA 1 2 to select TIMECLOCK
üâââ to select SIA FREQ. BELL 4 to select SIA FREQ. BELL
Number of keystrokes:
10 3
Consequently by using the quick code method, programming is quicker and less prone to error.
The menu items are explained in the chapter “Menu Contents”. They are listed in the order of their quick
codes (as shown in the programming map).

Note: The quick code numbers in front of each menu item are also the section numbers in the Menu Contents chapter.

Note: You cannot gain access to the dialler if the system is split or armed. If it is a split system, you must first
obtain extended access (located in the Maintenance menu). If the system is armed, you must first disarm it.
Testing the dialler:
This section explains how to test the dialler.
1. Access “Dialler” and press accept ü. Dialler

Connecting to a line: Connect to Line
The CD range of panels and RD62 dialler can be remotely programmed using a personal computer (PC), a
modem, and a special program called Transport PC. This method of programming is called
Upload/Download. Uploading is the transfer of programming data and the status of the panel to a remotely
located PC using the national telephone system.
Downloading is the reverse of this allowing remote programming, and if permitted, limited control of the alarm
system. It may also be used with a dummy telephone line, which allows the installation company to test or
pre-programme the panel. A circuit for a dummy line is shown on page 46.
The following pages present the menu sections starting with menu 1. Each menu is described using its menu
number and description. An explanation and text display are also included. The menu numbers are “quick
codes” which when entered at the “Leave Dialler” display will directly access the “Quick Code” programming
option.

For all other protocols this should be set to “NO.”
The voice module option is not available when using the audio listen-in hardware.
Note: All central station ALI entries must be set to ‘NO’ for the voice module to operate correctly.

1.5 Options & data for up/download U/D
In this section the up/download, telephone numbers, account numbers and operation limits are
programmed. The ‘Correct to line’ enable is also included in this section.
Note: A U/D telephone and account number must be programmed for the ‘Connect to line’ section.
1.5.1 First telephone number for Up/Download U/D Teleph. Nbr. 1
After the remote PC has called the RD6203, it uses this number to telephone (call back) the PC
and establish a connection for communication. The first U/D user code may also be used to
initiate a call to this number.
1.5.2 Second telephone number for up/download U/D Teleph. Nbr. 2
This telephone number is only initiated by the entry of the second U/D user code. (No call back).
1.5.3 Account number for up/download U/D Acc. Nbr.
The number entered in this section may be chosen by the installing company to identify the
installation.
1.5.4 Select BELL 103 or CCITT V.21 U/D Freq. CCITT
The up/download communication frequency. There is a choice here between BELL 103 and
CCITT V.21. A change to this option also requires a change in the Transport-PC program. BELL
is programmed as standard. For the UK operation this MUST be set to CCITT.
CCITT is now known as ITU-T V.21.
1.5.5 Settings for starting up/download U/D Init.
This section is used to select or limit the operation of up/download.
1.5.5.1 Start up/download by ringing PC Calls Yes
This enables/disables the RD 6203 establishing a connection with a remote PC by
answering/ignoring incoming ringing on the telephone line.
1.5.5.2 Start up/download via U/D code User Code Yes
Set this option to allow/disallow a user up/download.
1.5.5.3 Connect-to-line enable On-line Yes
When this is set to ‘Yes’ it will enable the ‘Connect-to-line’ function located in the ‘Dialler
Menu.’ If the ‘Connect -to-line’ option is accepted, the RD6203 will attempt to establish a
connection with the PC using the first Up/download telephone number. This may also be
used when using a dummy line.

Page 20 Programming manual for RD6203
1.5.6 Download the installation memory if full Dump Eng mem No
Dump (download) the engineers log to the PC using the first U/D telephone number when the
log is nearly full. This facility requires the T.P.C. program to be in auto-answer mode and always
ready to accept incoming calls.
1.5.7 Up/download when the system is armed U/D - if armed No
It is possible to up and download when the system is armed. This is intended for test purposes
only. Under current regulations this function must be set to OFF during periods of normal
operation.
1.5.8 Number of rings before the RD62 answers Ans. PC rings 10
If the ‘PC Calls’ option is programmed to ‘Yes’, this determines after how many rings the dialler
must answer. It is not recommended to connect equipment in parallel, such as fax and
answering machines, as the dialler requires unrestricted access to the phone line for alarm
reporting. Such equipment should be connected to the series port of the dialler.
1.6 Report to one or all telephone numbers Alternate/Dual
When an activation occurs and this is set to ‘Dual’, the RD6203 will report to all programmed Central
Station telephone numbers. If this is set to ‘Alternate’ it will try each telephone number in turn and stop
after the first successful connection with a Central Station.
1.7 Tel. nos. and Account Nbrs not to be readable or
changed Hide Nbrs.
When you accept this the panel asks ‘Are you sure?’. If you confirm this, it is no longer possible to
read or change the telephone numbers or account numbers of the central stations or of up/download. If
