I am a Crestron programmer and am looking for a replacement solution for the DSC IT-100. How does the AD2SER compare with the IT-100 in terms of capability and reliability?

Does the AD2SER support DSC 1832 and 1865 panels?
Is the AD2SER required to be assigned on the keybus?
Is it able to received broadcasted zone labels?
Can we go into programming mode with the AD2SER?

The AD2Serial supports the DSC PowerSeries panels, which includes the 1832 and more. You must assign a partition or "slot" to the AD2Serial but I do not believe you have to do anything on the alarm side for this to work. The message will contain whatever is in the ALPHA data, so if the zone label is in the ALPHA Message it will be broadcast. You can go into programming mode, but not all of the keypad screens have been accounted for and the arrow navigation keys are yet to be implemented.

Here is a list of supported DSC Panels:
