volsla Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hello all pro. I do hava a client who has DSC power series and EA1 and EA3 controllers. He asked me for the integration of security and smart controller. So, i found it-100 DSC integration module with serial interface. but EA 1 doesnt' have same serial interface but having rj45; ea3 doesnt' have same serial interface but shared with IR. Please share your experience of what is the best fastest and reliable way to integrate (can use any controller ea1 or ea3)? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 The EA-1 has a serial port as does EA-3. The serial is shared with an IR port so you likely need a DB9-3.5mm cable. And then you need to make the physicaly connection between the DSC panel and the controller - is there a controller in the same room as the DSC system?

volsla Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have ordered cables from control4; for botch controllers. The security panel and controller in the separate rooms but not far from each other (20 ft cable) should do the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I currently use a DB9-RJ45 connector to move the serial signal from one room to another over my ethernet wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave w Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The IT-100 won't work with Power series due to encryption. You need the TL2803G(r)(e) and can then run IP driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
