Device Configuration

The AlarmDecoder configuration viewed or modified in one of two ways: prompted or programmatically

Prompted

If you send ! followed by a carriage return you will be prompted for each field. This prompt also includes a basic description of the setting as well as it's current value.

You may hit enter to keep the current value or enter a new one.

Example:

!>Ademco/DSC  Mode A/D  (A) :>
!>Keypad Address       (18) :>
!WARNING. Do not enable a module if the physical module exists on the system.
!Zone Expanders Y/N Max allowed: 02
!>expander module #01 ZN 09-16 (N) :>
!>expander module #02 ZN 17-24 (N) :>
!>expander module #03 ZN 25-32 (N) :>
!>expander module #04 ZN 33-40 (N) :>
!>expander module #05 ZN 41-48 (Y) :>
!Relay Modules Y/N Max allowed: 04
!>relay module #01 (Y) :>
!>relay module #02 (N) :>
!>relay module #03 (N) :>
!>relay module #04 (N) :>
!>Emulate Long Range Radio Y/N: (Y) :>
!>ZoneTracker track zone restore Y/N: (N) :>
!>Address Filter Mask  (ffffffff) :>
!>Deduplicate          (N) :>
!>Config Bits        (ff04) :>

Programmatically

You may retrieve all of the devices settings by sending C to the panel followed by a carriage return (\r).

Retrieving AlarmDecoder settings:

• Send: C\r
• Response: !CONFIG>ADDRESS=18&CONFIGBITS=ff00&LRR=N&EXP=NNNNN&REL=NNNN&MASK=ffffffff&DEDUPLICATE=N

It can also be used to set values:

• Send: CADDRESS=20\r
• Response: !>ADDRESS=20

The same command may be used to set multiple values:

• Send: CADDRESS=20&DEDUPLICATE=Y\r
• Response: !>ADDRESS=20&DEDUPLICATE=Y
