  1. Okay, since the documentation isn't clear on this, here's my test result from an FX20 panel when adding a RIO and C079 RF Portal. First, you need to set the RIO address selector to 2, then connect and configure onto the Flex bus with menu 72. The zones are 1021 to 1028. Then, add the C079 to the bus and address it using menu 72. The address dial doesn't matter much here unless you have more than one portal to attach. My test was set to address 0. The C079 will try to configure its virtual RIO to addess 102, but cannot, as it's already used. It cannot shift up one as the FX20 only allows 20 zones and the onboard cannot be disabled. So, the virtual RIO sits dormant. The bit that surprised me now is that the RF zones can now be mapped over the existing 20 zones anywhere, so you now have 20 flexible hard wired (8 outside the panel if you so wish) zones which can be converted into wireless. If you add the RF Portal first, then it will snatch the RIO address 102 (even when you disable in menu 51.60) and the hard wired RIO will not configure onto the bus. I hope that this clears up the operation - it's helped me to understand why I had to wrestle with this previously. This panel was version 3.37 for the record. GG.
