dwdave Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) The LED on the RS232 board - is it supposed to mimic the other LEDS in terms of connection to the panel etc  ie - slow long flash - no / bad AB comms    quick flash  - good AB comms  Only reason I ask is that my Gold connection has stopped working and now the only led that remains operational is the one which is slowly blinking.  I reset the PC, the Alarm and removed and re-added the board. But the panel no longer recognises that the RS232 board has been reconnected. Edited July 24, 2015 by dwdave 'till the next question ...

GalaxyGuy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 This is a bus device, so entering and exiting engineering mode should re-enumerate it onto the RS485 bus. Resetting the alarm should also achieve the same though... Did you power cycle the module itself. If it has hung, then it will not re-join. Very old tech now - get a G3 or Dimension at least the 232 is built in Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/38707-galaxy-gold-to-galaxy-rs232-module-not-connecting/page/2/#findComment-425201 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwdave Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have power cycled the module - by removing it completely and clearing the mem sw. Â When I reconnect it, the led blinks to report bad AB. Â Is there a "wanted" part for non trade on this forum? I just cant justify changing out the panel when I havent even finished the install yet - will it mean new keypads etc? 'till the next question ...

dwdave Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Exited engineer mode again and now I have a good AB line. Â Not sure what was going on there. Â Now I have created a "new" site on GalGold and I have not set a password, dialled into the site and it asks for a password. Leave it blank and it sits for a while before saying it cant communicate with remote module. Â At least I know the module is connected to the panel. Its the PC to RS232 Module thats the problem now 'till the next question ...
