Duplicated keystrokes sent to pannel
Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2018 12:00 pmHello
My alarm is quite old, not sure which panel is it. From the schematics it resembles vista128 (large board with J7 and J8 headers). It works fine with 3 6160/6150 keypads. all 3 keypads are not addressed (i.e all on adr 31). I can read the panel messages clearly in putty but I'm having problems sending commands to the panel. For example I can arm the panel (#2 or #3) most of the time (3 tries out of 5 succeeds), but I can't disarm it or do something more complicated (such as bypass zones)
Trying to figure out why I can send 2 keystrokes to arm the device but not 4 to disarm I entered the panel clock setting mode through the 6160 keypad. I then positioned the cursor on the minutes section. Sending a "3" keystroke to the panel should increment the minutes field by 1 minute only. Looking at the messages coming back from the panel, it seems like a one key stroke is sent multiple times (or at least the panel think it is pressed multiple times, since I can see the minute count incremented few times after each key stroke. I used the alarm decoder app "custom command" form to send a single "3" keystroke each time, but I'm getting the same results when using putty. Please see log below. Is there anything I can do to solve this ? I bought the device so I'd be able to arm/disarm from remote. I can only do half the work...
In the log below:
green means 1 keystroke recived at panel (minute count incremented by 1)
red means few strokes recieved (minute count incremented more than once)
