Hey --
I did a search, which extolled the need for the EOL resistors. However, is there a special way in which to install them? eg: is one side negative and the other positive?
For a bench test, I installed all the provided EOL resistors into zones 1-16, connected the speaker + power, and when I turned the unit on, the KP reported some of the zones weren't ready. Then it changed its mind. The EOLRs are all tightly screwed down, but it seems to me that the little plastic piece they connect to doesn't seat very well into its slot, and that small motions Not-Ready some Zones that were Ready before, and vice-versa.
Thoughts?
Also, how does one use an EOL resistor on a set of door sensors? I don't see anyplace obvious to solder... do I need to T the wires (sensor + EOL + cable back to ELK)?
Final question... my dell has a serial port. I forced it to run on COM1. I have a modem that's on COM3. in the Communications menu, ElkRP only has COM3 in the list box. Do I need to disable the modem?
Thanks!
