Enable Virtual LRR

[zalusky]

When I try to use the ! command on the AD2USB module. I do not see the prompt to enable the Virtual LRR.
I am running version 2.1f.10

Is this only available on the later hardware revision. I can't seem to find any documentation on the hardware differences or the firmware for that matter. There does not seem to be any readme files.

Sorry the 2.0 version of AD2USB did not have enough room for all the features I added including LRR emulation.

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
