sixwheeledbeast Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I am confused how it is a new Elite but from 2002? Are you upgrading a Pre-Elite to an Elite? You have to be careful if you are moving the programming between different firmware/panel versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QSXS Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Sorry if this sounds like sucking eggs, but are you sure you have not confused the setup of the Panel Details in Wintex. Its really easy to do. Selected Premier88 for the old system and Elite88 for the new. Also select the correct firmware version for EACH panel. If you have this wrong, Wintex usual reports "Incorrect UDL Password". I believe on a new install of an Elite, you can directly connect using the UDL USB using the default PW. Once you change the engineer PW, the default UDL PW will no longer work, unless you set a new UDL PW. I can not remember its exact default behavior, but it used to trip me up.

sixwheeledbeast Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 No I'm upgrading from premier88 2002 to elite88 2015 That's what I said. I would say QXSX is on the right lines, but again you need to be careful when copying configuration over between different versions. Download and save a copy, then connect and change version. Wintex changes how the data is stored on the panels memory in the backend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSXS Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Also, remember, its possible to Lockout the UDL after 3 wrong attempts, you need to wait the timeout or use a Valid User Code on the RKP to reset. I suspect, getting in a muddle with the setups will trigger this. While I am a big fan of: "If it works don't fix it!" Q. How good is the current program? Q. Did you® company programming the Premier? Its surprising what you find during reprogramming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for your input Correct panel with corect firmware is set for each one in wintex , and other company programmed the panel in 2002 and I do have the engineer PW that was changed at that time . So I'm assuming that the UDL PW is the last 4 digit of that PW , am i rigt ?, unless a new UDL PW can be changed independently to the engineer PW ! I know it is not going to work to copy all settings from one firmware to an other but I just wanted to printout the premier88 for a quick elite 88 programming as per old panel. (28 zones) I was not aware about the lock out after three wrong attempt. What about changing the wintex port speed from the default 4800 Edited August 19, 2015 by ladybreaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
