The QuickStart QS does not use the same RJ11->DB9 pin outs as the EST2/3
To load the QS panel you need to be login in with a level 2 or higher. the front barrel key logs you in with a level 2 login.
Part# - Progcable-1,.. this is for the rj11 jack on the front panel
DB9..RJ11
2 .... 6 (Tx)
3 .... 1 (Rx)
5 .... 4 (Com)
The cable is the same as the est2/3 it is a 6 pin crossover.

ADAPTER,MODULAR,DE9 FEMALE TO RJ11,(6P6C)
RJ11-6P6C,14 L, REVERSE,FLAT

Remember to login to load the QuickStart (as lvl2, barrel key will work)




The system can be loaded via the RS232 connections on the PS6 board.
TX-2
RX-3
Comm-5

QS is the only system that I know of that the database can be uploaded/retreived from the panel.

The EST-SRA4 needed to be loaded local/direct

Also I was unable to import the XDU, but I was able to retrieve it from the panel.
Also you needed to pick the right panel type IE.intel5,intel1 or it will fault with QS1 does not match QS4
remove the cover off the back of the CPU to get the board type ie. QS4-CPU-2
Check the HELP FILE under retrieving databases

I am pretty sure the pins are right.
when I have RS232 Problems I use my meter and look for -5 to -20 volts to ground (Com) for the TX of both laptop and panel.
And connect the Tx of one to the Rx of the other, also connect the grounds

If I were you I would get a 6 pin RJ11 cable and cut it, plug it into the panel and look for the neg Tx volts to ground. once you know that you should be good to go.

hi i'm new in EST-3 system, i have a problem regarding on the download cable which is from rs232(laptop) - rj11(panel)..could somebody help me
regarding on the wiring connection from rs232 port- rj11 because the old wiring is disconnected.

Annunicators can have the data bases updated over the 485 line after they are addressed,
first download.
For any updates, download the update into the panel then login and goto
the config system menu. Press DEL at the SLC screen. At the next menu
select 6 (Exit) then select 2(save & sync). It does take some time to update the annunciator(s).
If it is only one annunicator and it is close by your better of updating directly
from the laptop though. For the SRA annunicators it will also save you from bricking it
if you forget to lower your baud rate to 9600 before downloading to them.
Note it does not work for firmware upgrades.
