Novice here, so please bear with me. I purchased a DSC Power832 (PC5010) with expander module, wireless reciever (for those places _impossible_ to get wire to) and LED keypad. My dealer was most helpful in getting me setup and teaching me how to program it myself. (I'm an electronics/computer guy, so having this neato electronic thing and not having any knowledge of the 'workings' was unnacceptable). This is a specialized serial cable for use with DSC DLS programming. DSC DLS programming software. DSC Power 1616,1832, or 1864 via the PC-Link. There's two things on my mind. About once every three months, the system reports a tamper to the monitoring station, which phones me, I tell them to ignore it, etc. The panel, as best I can determine after punching in all the keys, never tells me what caused the tamper, and indeed, never shows any sort fault as having happened at all. This leads me to. What do I have to buy to allow me to examine the programming and the 'reports' on a computer. Pc Link Software For Dsc Security SystemsI think I need a PCLINK cable, which certainly looks like something I can wire up in a minute, and I guess I need the DLS software, which I can purchase from a few sites. But do I need anything else? I suspect I need a PC5401 module, as I cannot think of where else to connect a PCLINK cable to. Any help gratefully appreciated.

If I understand, the panel is programmed either to 'speak' out its modem (to the central monitoring station) or to speak out its serial port to a local PC, but not both. I have downloaded a copy of the DLS3 software, that explains how to program the panel to speak out the serial port, but not documnet how to put it back! Perhaps my installer can help. Or maybe I can figure it out from the downloaded info. Thanks again.

The PC5401 is for RS232 conection to other systems and controls. The DLS software conects to the panel thru a modem. You will need to get the DLS software and the proper Modem (which by the way is extremly slow, since the last time I downloaded a panel) and downkoad the panel make any changes and upload it back to the panel. The tamper could be from the wireless devices cover or a number of other things, I don't think the download software is going to be of any help but it sounds like you might have fun with it. It is pretty cool software and the PC 832 is by far the best panel on the market. If I can be of more assitance let me know. Interested 1/7/2004, 22:12 น. Alan Rothenbush wrote in message news.

There should be a 4-pin header on the panel labeled something like 'PC Link', usually it is slightly up and to the left of center of the board. You can make one in a few minutes-- the pinout is available. I seem to remember a resistor being the only thing close to being an 'odd' item. Then you also need DLS. Shouldn't need a 5401 unless you're doing some interesting stuff.
