Verifying NX-584e Enrollment and Settings

[kannon]

I'm looking for help to verify my NX-584e is configured correctly to communicate with the Caddx plug in. I sent an email to Rien, but while waiting for a response I thought I'd ask this group to help troubleshooting with the module.

I'm a reasonably technical guy, but totally new at alarm programming so I need some very basic instructions. I had my alarm guy install the module in an NX-8V2, but he seemed to not be sure what he was doing.

Could someone either 1) provide instructions on how I can verify that its correctly configured (basic instructions please); or 2) point me to instructions where I can start over?

I gave the alarm guy the printout from here: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=99873

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jason,

I emailed you directly, but wanted to answer here too, to help solve future problems based on earlier reports of other users.
As far as I can see, it seems that you cannot communicate with the panel. So this can be caused by many reasons.
- Not correctly configured NX-584
- Incorrect com port
- Some USB to serial cables seems to be not working, based on earlier reports of users.(Try another one)
- Wrong baudrate

By the way, the NX-8 V2 does have a com port on the panel itself right, there is no need for a NX584E.

So please have the NX584 or the onboard com port configured and test with the DL900 software.

Was able to connect

After some significant trial and error... I was able to connect to the plug-in. Here's what worked:

Jumper Configuration
- J7 position A (default)
- J9 position B (default)
- J10 position B (switched from default)
- J8 position A (switched from default)

Location 0; Option 1; Set to 0 (Binary)

Also, I do want to confirm that the NX-8V2 does NOT have an onboard serial connection, and the NX-584E is required.
