Testing the Vista Connection

To ensure the Vista panel is ready to communicate with the ProWatch software, you can test the communication path by performing the following test based upon your connection to your 4100SM device.

Direct Connect To test the direct connection to your 4100SM, connect your 4100SM to the available COM port on your ProWatch server. 1. Launch HyperTerminal application by clicking on Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal. 2. Enter a name for the connection and click OK. 3. In the Connect Using: pull down, select the COM port the connected to the Vista panel. 4. Click the Configure button to edit the connection parameters. The COM properties window will appear. 5. Set the Bits per second to 1200. Verify the Data bit is set to 8, Parity is set to None and Stop bits to 1. The Flow control must be set to None. Click OK to save and close the properties window. 6. Click OK to save your setting in your Connect screen to begin. 7. Once in the HyperTerminal window, press the Enter key. If the Vista panel is properly connected and defined, you will see a response from the Vista panel of 080K009E.

If you do not see a response from the Vista panel when the Enter key is pressed, check your connections and your COM port on the PC. Verify that you are not using a NULL modem cable between the PC and the 4100SM device.

8. Once you have verified your connection, you can exit HyperTeminal.

UDS100/ UDS1100 Connection To test the connection to your 4100SM through the UDS device and your network, make sure the UDS is connected to both the network and to the 4100SM, the power is on and the UDS has been programmed. 1. Open a Command Prompt window by clicking on Start > Run. 2. In the open box, type CMD and click OK.

3. At the DOS Command Prompt type Telnet followed by a space, the IP address of the UDS, space and then the Port number. See Example below:
telnet 192.168.1.14 3001

4. The window display will go blank and you will see a blinking curser. If an error message is returned that says it could not open the host connection on the port specified, check the following:

Verify that the port number entered is correct and matches the port number entered in the UDS programming. Verify that the port is not blocked by a network firewall. Verify that you can ping the IP address of the UDS.

5. Press the Enter key. You will see 080K009E as a response from the Vista panel. If you do not see a response, verify your programming in the Vista panel and your connection between the 4100SM and the Vista panel. 6. Once you have verified your communications, you can close the Command Prompt window.
