That sounds correct. My understanding is that is all it would take to make it work, that is, if you made sure to have the DIO's and channels correct, which it sounds like you did.
Also, make sure your DSC has power and the there is a circuit breaker feeding the relay and you have replaced the fuse in the spike with a 20amp circuit breaker.

If this doesn't work, which it never did for us, reply back and I'll post what we did to get it to work. BTW, search for issues with compressors. There are several threads about it and some also have solutions.
