AlarmDecoder Keypad App entering running mode forever

Has anyone got the native Mono C# client to work recently against an AD2PI? I just got my AD2PI and the web panel works just fine. From what I can tell, the native Keypad App seems to connect to the listener on my Raspberry Pi just fine (tcp/10000) as the log messages are showing the same log messages I see in the web panel app.

But the keypad tab page of the thick client app just shows "Entering Running Mode / Waiting first message" forever and the actual buttons don't work (i.e. don't send anything to the panel). I've tried both the Windows and Mac OSX clients and get the same results.

My AD2PI and Raspberry PI 3 are setup using the downloadable image from this site and so I'd like to think this is as about as "out-of-the-box" you can get. Odd that the log messages do indeed show up.

Screen shot attached to this post.

Go to configure -> general settings -> HEX Keypad Address Mask, make sure your address of your alarmdecoder is selected

In this case 02.

My address is 11. I've added that to the keypad address mask, restarted the keypad app, verified that 11 is still included, but the app's LCD display continually displays "Entering Running Mode / Waiting first message".

In my case, the keypad app's buttons do work. It is only app's LCD display that doesn't. Anything else I can try?

Solution
For some reason, all messages that my AD2USB are receiving appear to be aimed at only one keypad, whose address is 1, so after including 1 in the mask, the LCD now works as expected.
