I have not used the EST2 program in years , and was wondering what i needed to download the original program back into the panel. Will my EST3 cable work? Can I just import my project and download? I just downloaded the SDU back onto my laptop, is there anything I need to do to communicate? If I create a new file is it the same steps?

Thanks

Your EST3 cable will work you can also connect to the printer/rs232 port of the panel.
The EST2 panel can not be uploaded. you will need to rewrite the program then load it.

first create an EST2 program that looks like the system you are working with.
upload the map, accept the devices on the map.
connect your PC to the panel via the panels printer/rs232 port open hyperterminal on your pc.
setting up hyperterminal for the est2 can be a problem look for other posts.
remove a wire from the SLC loop all the devices will go into comm fail capture and save this.
the est2 always sends signals out it printer port.
copy paste the capture data to the zones you uploaded via the map.

Thanks for all your help. I forgot to enable Laptop on the panel itself.
