I am playing around with the ASCII protocol and have a question about interrogating the system. So let's say that I want to discover the keypads that are connected, including the names of those keypads.
I could send the keypad area assignments command (06ka006E). This would return bit fields that tell me what keypads are connected (by their ID; 1 to 16). Then I could send the "request text description" command. But if I have 5 keypads (which I do) then I would need to send this command 5 times.
Is there a way to send one command to ask the M1G to tell me the names of all keypads?
This same question applies to zones. With more than 3/4 of the 208 zones used I would rather not send the text "request text description" command that many times.
