ejn1 Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Just now, andypaul said: Yes I can... ping it and all The driver is just stuck on - Establishing Communication (this may take a few minutes) ... I wonder if the new TL-280e needs an updated driver? I dont think so... You have the same firmware that I do. Is the Alternate Communicator selected as "Y" on the DSC Panel setup?

andypaul Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Yup.... I think that was subsection 382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaul Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Do you have an integration document? The one I followed for the C4 side is attached.... Control4 DSC Integration SBH Update V5.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was subsection 382 If you screenshot your C4 driver page, I can compare with mine if you want and see if anything looks strange. Otherwise, i would completely reset the TL280 and start over to ensure you have not fat fingered one of the inputs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaul Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Besides this I used the DSC manual with the TL-280e to configure all the subsections. The yellow light is flashing as it should, have an IP address and can see the communicator on the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow light is flashing as it should, have an IP address and can see the communicator on the network. I started to check your instructions and already see a difference with my instructions. I used the old pre 5.0 C4 instructions and just converted the subsection numbers. On my Section 426, "Bit 3 needs to be on for TCP communications. The screen should read "--3-----". Press "#" to go back to subsection menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejn1 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 I'm looking for it also. How did you eventually fix your Dsc issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaul Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 All sorted thanks for the help. Let me know if you hear about the firmware upgrade for zones beyond zone 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave w Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Was a firmware update ever issued for added zones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaul Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Not hat I know of but there was a recent driver update and I wonder if this helps see the additional zones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears not easy to update the firmware for the card. I guess you have to be a dealer with their DSC software and plug into the card onsite?

Dave w Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 No the alarm board and communication board are both remotely upgradable. http://dlshelp.dsc.com/index.php?title=Neo_Remote_Firmware_Upgrade Does anybody know the most recent firmware version numbers so I can ask my alarm dealer?

Dave w Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yes you have to be a dealer to get DLS, I was responding to your comment that they had to plug into the board on sight. It can also be done remotely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I will do it until it's verified that it fixes the additional zone issue. Aside from that my C4 integration has been pretty solid.

Dave w Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Update: I'm currently running: DSC PowerSeries NEO TL2803GUSA Internet and HSPA Dual-path Alarm Communicator with firmware V05.02.04.03 (Hardware version is UA685 Rev01) DSC PowerSeries NEO HS2064NKCP01 Board with firmware V01.20.01.37 (hardware version is UA621 Rev03) with 39 wireless zones and no hardwired zones and I see status of all zones in Director......using current driver and IP communications. ejn1 and msgreenf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejn1 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 That's awesome! So when you see the status, have you tried to open and close of the higher number zones and your navigator picks this up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave w Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yes...all 40 zones I am running properly report status. I've just learned that there is even newer firmware than what I now have, and am working on updates. The most current firmware of the panel is actually 1.3 and the most current firmware for the TL2803G is 5.03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejn1 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Cool, im going to try to get it updated. Did you have a dealer do it for you? Did they come onsite or could they do it remotely? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave w Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What I learned from my dsc dealer is that they can do it remotely over GSM or IP/TCP via DLS but dsc charges a lot for data transfers over the 10Kb quota. It's a pretty big hit. So the dealer only wanted to update via landline or physically. I don't have a landline, so I pulled the boards and they are updating on the bench.
