Problem Programming from Virtual Keypad

[xuniman]

I have a Vista 20p with the AD2USB addressed as Keypad #18 set to partition 1. It is going though a Raspberry Pi with the ser2sock set to RAW. If I key in the installer code and 800 the system goes to a non responsive state. Both Keypads show Busy-Standby v9.18 D1 and nothing seems to get it out of this state except a complete power cycle.

Any ideas on what is happening?

I tried changing the addressing to make the AD2USB keypad 16 and my actual hardware keypad 18 and in that configuration both Keypads can be used for programming without going into the non responsive state. I'd prefer to have the physical keypad as 16 if you can tell me how to fix this issue.

After reviewing some of the AD2USB documentation I figured out that this might be related to the alarm mask I'm using. From a suggestion in another thread about getting messages from zone 2 on the AD2USB I added and alarm mask of 00000110. If I'm reading the documentation correctly that actually tells the AD2USB to only listen to messages from addresses 16 and 20??? Since this keypad is addressed at 18 it is actually seeing only the messages from the keypad at 16. When one keypad puts the system is programming mode the other keypads show the message in my first post. Since 18 was setting the program mode but only seeing the messages from 16 the system seemed unresponsive.

from the masking write-up in the firmware section:

From the MSB(left) to the LSB(right) of this 32 bit word the address of each device is as follows
7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16,31,30,29,28,27,26,25,24

The correct mask to listen to just messages for keypad 18 is 00000400. Once i got the masking correct everything works like it should.

Yeah, that address mask is a tricky thing - I only suggested that mask to get you up and running - ideally if you have one partition, you'd just have the mask as FFFFFFF to see everything, but in your case that was causing you headaches because of your blank partition - you can use the AlarmDecoder Keypad application to calculate that for you easy enough in the configuration menus.

... have the mask as FFFFFFF to see everything ...

Kevin, I'm sure you meant to type FFFFFFFF.

Yes, of course, my bad, FFFFFFFF
