Evening All, Wondering if if I could get a bit of a steer if someone had a few minutes to help. I have a G2 recently installed myself and working perfectly well, no issues. Few detectors, keypads and siren. i have got a DualCom DigiAir with a years monitoring from my local ARC and would like to have a go at commissioning it myself before calling in a friend to check it over. i have no issues with the wiring of it, but more the programming of the Galaxy, could someone give a bit of direction if they had a few mins. Dualcom guide says I need to "The Digi-Modem must have an ARC telephone number and account number programmed for Dial Capture to work" - Do I need to programme the Galaxy with the actual PSTN number of the Arc if I was using a standard digi and account number on their monitoring platform, I would have thought that the DualCOM would have taken care of this - I.e Chip Number and GPRS communication back to the ARC. - Can anyone direct me and advise on this bit. Also, if using Dial Capture I assume I want to communicate in SIA? Can I define the essential pins/channels used if using DualCom I.e 3 (Intruder) 7(Confirmed ETC) ? Any advice on what the best practises or options needed configured on the Galaxy would be much appreciated. I am a Diy'r and enthusiast - Any advice appreciated. -PK

As many of you know, I spent some time researching the CSL CS2300-R SPTs last year. I found a series of issues that I think are serious problems. CSL have had 17 months to deal with these issues, and after them dawdling, I opted for co-ordinated disclosure of the issues via CERT/CC. CSL have had 45 days to respond to CERT/CC, and only did so on Friday with a statement that is largely spin and distraction. In summary, the issues found: CSL have developed incredibly bad encryption, on a par with techniques state-of-the-art in the time before computers. CSL have not protected against substitution very well CSL can’t fix issues when they are found because they can’t update the firmware There seems to be a big gap between the observed behaviour of the CS2300-R boards and the standards It’s likely that the test house didn’t actually test the encryption or electronic security Even if a device adheres to the standard, it could still be full of holes CSL either lack the skill or drive to develop secure systems, making mistake after mistake I have written a blog post detailing these issues, which also links to the full PDF report. Until CSL can demonstrate that their products are standards compliant and secure, I would advise not using them, especially for higher grades.
