psc916 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I am finalising my kit list for installation. Could anyone advise if a Texecom Com2400 digicomm can be used to connect the alarm panel to my home network in order that control / programming can be done through the Wintex software on my PC, or will I need a PC-Com Serial Connector? Many thanks
james.wilson Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 you could but you would need to dial it up, so you would need 1 line for out and another for back in. Probably not ewhat you wanted. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Ok thanks, you are right yhat's not what I'm after. I'll stick to PC-Com Serial for PC linkup & use Com2400 for text / alarm notifications.
breff Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 If you want to connect to your home network you'll need a COMIP The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)
Fred555 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Beware of starting from cold a Premier with a USB Com plugged in as either all hell breaks loose or the panel seems ok but behaves very strangely - but do not know if same applies to PC Com serial connector as I have not tried the serial version only the USB one. Once the Premier is up and running plugging and unplugging the USB Com seems to make no difference at all. Get a Premier 88 at minimum the 48 is too cut down in places.

Fred555 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 What job do you do that you come across that range of panels everyday to connect to with a USB Com? I am intrigued.

Fred555 Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Completely knocks out COM 2400 if plugged in at power up and a few other things - so have not been plugging in at power up since version 5ish (I think). You assume a lot re Texecom Bridgewater I could equally imply that I am Lord Lucan but I would not expect to be believed. My current location is not London it is also Bridgewater. KiddingPigeon - it would be great to have you onboard why not apply for Trade Membership?
