VoyagerFireSecurity Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Guys, I m trying to connect my GSR 4.51 to Guardall Px48i v5 100 but seemed like the cheap USB serial converter didnt work, i bought myself another one from Maplin, but its still same. I have the gender changer, I just cannot establish connection with the panel I have installed everything correctly, my usb recognises the driver and the lead.. Can you guys recommend me a usb serial converter please? Or a solution to overcome this issue.. thank you.
bee_man Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 You could try the latest drivers from the chip manufactures website. It is usually FTDI or CH340. Look in Device Manager under Ports and you should see something like USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM11) or USB-SERIAL FTDI (COM15) you can then get the latest drivers from http://www.driversdownloader.com/drivers-other/others/usb-serial%20ch340 or http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm. Device manager will also show you which COM port to use. bee
Lwillis Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Have you setup the panel correctly? Enabled serial module and type ? setup the GSR ID? What's the error your getting in GSR? I'm only using a cheapo USB converter and never have any issues
VoyagerFireSecurity Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Guys, One of the usb converter works okay with vesda panels. I tried re-installing the device new comport is 3. GRRRR!!!!! I have few panels needs replacing for a contract and one site has tons of detectors, cirtcuit text is going to be nightmare I m choosing the correct port number on gsr any other suggestions??
VoyagerFireSecurity Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Sorry LWILLIS, here is what i done 1. Edit 99 – GSR 12 2. Select GSR number , selected GSR 1 as i m using GSR BASIC 3. Enable = Auto 4. S/N = 00000000 5. GSR ID = 1 6. The rest of the options can be left as default Edit 99 – Module 13 1. Selected SM0 2. Set the Type to Serial 3. Baud rate is 9600 on my GSR BASIC GSR ID is 00000000 PANEL TYPE : PX48i V50x UK (panel is Px48i 100 V5 PRIMARY ROUTE #DIRECT My Usb Serial port is on 4 so in Tools > View Setup > Comms > Route 1 - Direct#1 , Serial/Direct , COM 4 , Baud Rate 9600 Do you think the above is correct? What do you have for GSR ID on your GSR Basic??
Lwillis Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 We use the customers contract number as GSR ID. I'm using GSR Direct tho not sure if that makes any difference.
VoyagerFireSecurity Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 What USB serial adapter do you use? Any specific model??
Lwillis Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 It's in the van ATM and tbh I can't me **** to go and look but I think it's this one or similar http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=221243555872 I've got a few as some panels don't like certain ones ,fire panels mostly.
