Guys,

 

I m trying to connect my GSR 4.51 to Guardall Px48i v5 100 but seemed like the cheap USB serial converter didnt work, i bought myself another one from Maplin, but its still same. I have the gender changer, I just cannot establish connection with the panel

 

I have installed everything correctly, my usb recognises the driver and the lead..

 

Can you guys recommend me a usb serial converter please? Or a solution to overcome this issue..

 

thank you.

 

Correct comms port in use?

You could try the latest drivers from the chip manufactures website. It is usually FTDI or CH340. Look in Device Manager under Ports and you should see something like USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM11) or USB-SERIAL FTDI (COM15) you can then get the latest drivers from http://www.driversdownloader.com/drivers-other/others/usb-serial%20ch340 or  http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm. Device manager will also show you which COM port to use.

Have you setup the panel correctly?

Enabled serial module and type ?

setup the GSR ID?

What's the error your getting in GSR?

I'm only using a cheapo USB converter and never have any issues

Guys,

One of the usb converter works okay with vesda panels.

I tried re-installing the device new comport is 3.

 

GRRRR!!!!! I have few panels needs replacing for a contract and one site has tons of detectors, cirtcuit text is going to be nightmare

 

 

 

I m choosing the correct port number on gsr

 

any other suggestions??

 

As my previous post ?!?

Sorry LWILLIS,  here is what i done

 

1. Edit 99 – GSR 12

2. Select GSR number , selected GSR 1 as i m using GSR BASIC

3. Enable = Auto

4. S/N = 00000000

5. GSR ID = 1

6. The rest of the options can be left as default

Edit 99 – Module 13

1. Selected SM0

2. Set the Type to Serial

3. Baud rate is 9600

 

on my GSR BASIC

 

GSR ID is 00000000

PANEL TYPE : PX48i V50x UK (panel is Px48i 100 V5

PRIMARY ROUTE #DIRECT

My Usb Serial port is on 4 so in Tools > View Setup > Comms > Route 1 -    Direct#1  , Serial/Direct , COM 4 , Baud Rate 9600

 

 

Do you think the above is correct?

 

What do you have for GSR ID on your GSR Basic??

We use the customers contract number as GSR ID. I'm using GSR Direct tho not sure if that makes any difference.

What USB serial adapter do you use? Any specific model??

It's in the van ATM and tbh I can't me **** to go and look but I think it's this one or similar

What's the error your getting on GSR?
