The "Cancel Communications" function is available in the Account Toolbar. This function may be used to cancel a current (or pending) communication job, but this function should not be considered a "Hangup immediately" command.

When pressed, the communication manager will stop sending upload or download commands to the panel when it is determined to be “SAFE TO STOP". This means that the communication session that you are trying to cancel will NOT hangup with the panel immediately, but will wait until the communication can be ended gracefully, leaving the panel in an operational state.

Global Upload

If a global upload was cancelled, data that was uploaded from the panel will be saved, and any options that were not yet uploaded will remain tagged for upload. This allows an opportunity to restart the communication at a later time.

Global Download

If a global download was cancelled, any options that were not downloaded will be saved to the database and tagged for download. The remaining options may be downloaded at a later time.

Tagged Communication

If a tagged communication was cancelled, tags for options that were completed successfully will be cleared, tags for options that were not completed will be saved, and may be restarted at a later time. Data that was uploaded successfully will be saved to the database.
