Users / Can LMCE Send RS232 with the Security Screen ? One-Way is ok
« on: October 01, 2007, 09:22:17 pm »
I want to use LMCE to link into my Comfort alarm system. Very popular high end system that also has a massive range of automation controls. To do this, I need to emulate the alarm keypad (same buttons as a telephone).

For example, as soon as you press a button on LMCE (ie 1) all it does it send 'KD01' down the RS232 port - nothing more (at this time).

This is an extremely high end alarm with many features and been around for 10 years or so.

Can LMCE do this ? You dont press 1234 as a sequence then send that in one go, you send a command as soon as you press a button.

So say your signin code is 1234#, the sequence would be :

Press 1 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD01 down the RS232 port

Press 2 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD02 down the RS232 port

Press 3 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD03 down the RS232 port

Press 4 on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD04 down the RS232 port

Press # on the LMCE Security Keypad screen
LMCE send KD0C down the RS232 port

Installation issues / Assistance as Wiki doesnt match whats on screen
« on: September 26, 2007, 11:53:17 am »
Appears the Wiki docs are confusing as they dont match what Im seeing on screen using the 0704 DVD install.

So for now, I want to get to the WebAdmin. If I hit the IP I get nothing back. Local LAN, 192 network, etc. Does WebAdmin have to be enabled ? Seems odd.

Also, I want to add an RS232 device to control my alarm panel. How on earth you do this escapes me

Any ideas ?

Installation issues / v0704 install fails on VMWare 6
« on: August 31, 2007, 10:30:02 pm »
I've mounted the ISO and booted from it to install - tried a few times, and keeps stalling les than a minute after the install starts proper (after I select the drive in the install) with errors about copying gz printer files "no such file or directory" - "skipping to next header" - got a fullpage of it - and goes no further.

Using the Quick Install DVD ISO 0704

Any ideas ?

TIA
