Firmware version 2_2a_4 and onward contains three new features not available in previous releases, and not available on the v2.0 boards.
Keypad Address Mask:This features allows you to select specific keypad addresses to listen to. The keypad address mask is the same masking that the AD2USBGUI uses under "Configuraiton->General->Keypad Address Mask. This is then converted into a 32bit hex number ie ffffffff
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
Long Range Radio (LRR) Emulation:The availability of a LRR device in the alarm system causes the panel to send messages containing the user code used to arm/disarm the panel. If a real LRR is not present, this feature allows the ad2usb to become a virtual LRR.
Deduplication:The availability to remove repetitive messages. This in conjunction with the Address Mask will remove duplicate alarm messages the panel produces. You can get a fresh message by sending a blank link or any data to the AD2USB
Beta firmwares contain DSC panel support. As well as LRR Support for SE Panels
