Programming is done in Composer (HE or Pro) once the driver is installed and set up. Installation and setup is done in Composer Pro (dealer software). Many Thanks, this is reassuring. Do you know whether this would work on an older controller like:C4-hc250-bl Home Automation System Controller. And do I really need a dealer or is composer pro available to end users as well so that I could install it myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you cannot set up the controller yourself but you can program what you desire after initial setup using the end user version of the software Composer Home Edition. The pro software is only available for dealers. If you plan on sourcing an older used controller, try to find an HC250-BL-1 or HC-800-BL-1. The model you mentioned (BL) does not have a "site licence" so you will not have access to a C4 mobile app, or PC/MAC app without it. Look for the BL-1. I offer remote mote programming/integration services if you decide that you need assistance with the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejn1 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi All, My setup sends a warning chirp to the alarm keypads whenever my internet goes down. I seem to recall a setting in either the TL280 or overall Neo Panel setup where you can disable this but can't locate it easily. Appreciate if anyone knows the alarm panel subsection to disable this if they can share. I only have the TL280 for C4 integration and have a cellular alarm connection so its not critical for me to hear the chirping (versus someone that has alarm solely connected via internet monitoring). Every time i upgrade my switch or internet goes down it can wake up folks if sleeping etc so want to disable it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am able to arm and disarm the alarm in C4 within my LAN and outside the home as well. I have read all of the forum entries here and other places and as I take another run at this I just need a level set. The PDF document referred to in this thread as well as others shows things that I do not see in Control4 on any of my navigators. My various security windows look similar to what I see in the PDF but....SHOULD I BE ABLE TO SEE: 1. Status, Zones and History tabs at top? I do see status and zones off to the left on the iPhone navigator (see attached screen print). I have NEVER seen the history tab exposed. Zones and status work fine and show all the zones in my system albeit with some mislabeled doors vs windows etc (I understood this was fixed with the old Domosapiens IT-100 serial driver). 2. Should I see "Security Panel" or "Partition 1" in the navigator. For the attached screen print this dialog was opened under the heading security panel. Occasionally I see Partition 1 as the entry point but all other points here remain the same. 3. MOST importantly I have never been able to use the functions menu from within C4 for such things as bypassing zones while away from the house, temporary codes and the other things I would hope that would be here should the functions icon ever show as enabled. All items in the driver seem to look as everyone has explained here but I just wanted to confirm as it is not 100% clear in these forums or in the PDF if the extended functionality I am after should be enabled with the latest driver, C4 version and other linkages here (protocol version is 02.17) and I am using AES-encryption 128 and of course all my keys are working (show true) and IP is communicating. It stops if I reset the TL-280 but always comes back in a few minutes. I just never see history or a functions menu enabled. Should I? Thanks in advance. Did the bypassing feature ever get resolved using the TL-280? I have the same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally figured this out by turning off the section in the TL280 that sends trouble alerts when internet goes down. Was a real PIA that every time i was doing network work or internet down the alarm chirped like a smoke detector and didnt stop until the internet was live again.

ezadok Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hello, have a DSC system with an EA-5 controller and just added the TL280 to the system. Configured according to all known recommended settings in the driver docs and the DSC manual, and still getting a never ending Establishing Connection on the C4 side. I don’t have any errors on the TL280, and I can see it on my network. Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for your reply Here’s where I am. I programmed all the 851 settings at the keypad after TL280 install, I don’t have the DLS software. All pretty straightforward, only weird thing is my Peer Key is all zeros, non-editable. After adding the settings I power cycled, and then put the data in the C4 driver, and got the establishing connection. The TL280 or the keypads show no errors at all, and it seems to be online. The connection status LED is blinking. I saw a couple of other DSC settings that had to be On in order for it to work, so I made sure they were on, which they were. Power cycled again, and still same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 425 subsection allows you to choose between Ethernet and serial. So I put in Bits 3 and 5 like it said to do. Is this what your referring to? Thank you for your help, I appreciate it!

I have been try to resolve my DSC integration for over a year now. I knew it was something related to my monitoring but your advice is the best I have seen. If you have the spec that would be great. If not, I will run with this and contact my monitoring company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called back to the alarm center, waiting for an answer on why they didn’t do that. He also said the Peer Key is zeroes because the Sim isn’t activated. Thanks Again for your help on this!

C4 User Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I just spoke to DSC Connect24 support regarding integrating my DSC Neo into both Control4 and Connect24. Note the I have the TL280LE Communicator. When your central monitoring station is programming your communicator using Connect24, under the INTERACTIVE tab, they need to: - set Integration over Ethernet - Enter the C4 controller IP address - set Notification port to 3072 - set Polling port to 3073 - set Real Time Notifications to ON The above settings must be set by your Central Monitoring Station using Connect24. All the other parameters and keys necessary to complete the integration can be read at the keypad for integrating your C4 system into your DSC Neo panel. ezadok and Neo1738 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
