spur off a rose?

How big? Are we talking PMR's or bigger?

Sounds like the jumper pins are unavailable on that model. I showing battery fault that would be the control panel battery having low voltage or faulty. I wouldn't worry about the jumper and find out if the battery is duff.

Another subby with a chopper.

Rattle tins and newspaper...?

Fike

Faulty battery, system overloaded or possibly faulty panel? You can't test a battery or charging circuit without a load on it.

There's wireless stuff that does that but I wouldn't bother. The existing cabling wouldn't support video.

Suppose that one way to get people off the phone... That is Reset Digi, I assume. If you have no chime zones then it maybe be something odd. Take a backup with Wintex and default the panel, try from there to rule out hardware issue.

Zone programmed as Chime. Press the Chime button it will go away.

Exactly, completely agree.

Consider yourself lucky, it's normally rock hard toffee pennies.

Protecting a 350k house with a 200 quid alarm, baffles me...

Would only detect you on the way in. As I say, Follow zones are for that sort of thing.

Er, Perimeter then. Or Perim-Follow depending on the PIR's location.

I don't see why not.

You thinking of a move...?

Depending on the PowerMax model there are walk-through zones to do that. Inter-Follow is one of them. I don't think I would want the landing device to point down the stairs TBH, I would have a sensor on the landing and one in the hall.

You should use a static IP. It must be set in the control panel. UDL/Digi Options.

The OP said dual path...

Will be worth knowing, but not identifiable by an aerial. While they both do a similar job Redcare GSM is arguably a better product than Dualcom GPRS.

I also agree with many comments above. Please also consider the cost of switching companies. It will be unlikely you will be able to transfer the monitoring so you will have the cost of new kit and connection charges. Also other companies maybe cheaper but make sure you consider what's included. Parts, servicing, call outs, out of hours are they extra or included. Will the new signalling be to the same Grade as the out going. I think for Redcare GSM it sounds about right depending on location?

It all depends on how competent you are at that stuff really. You will find it's only available on top end enterprise routers, if your using a router to do it. The whole point of a VLAN (Virtual LAN) is to isolate the LAN into sections, so yes that wouldn't work on the LAN side.

Yes, S01 is Sounder number one. Not generic really.

S01 is a fault with the external sounder.
