This is at least day 5 where I have shut this thing down and given up for the day.
After bench testing with a keypad and the M1XEP, I thought things were looking good.
Spent a couple weeks installing everything, and now the frustration begins.
I have the M1G with M1XEP in the can. After being stumped why the M1XEP was defaulting to static IP, somehow it made it into static IP mode...finally got that fixed.
Next problem was lost comm with the original keypad I bench tested. Double checked all my hard wires to the keypads, and thought it must be a wiring problem I can't see. Checked resistance of data bus, and was only 122 ohms... Got to inspecting the wire that came out the back of the can and went to the first keypad, and found that the wire had accidentally been stapled... One data bus line was open. Got that repaired, now I see around 65 ohms on the data bus.
Now, all keypads seem to be getting power and at least showing display, but cannot get any others to enroll besides the original.
The first keypad has a really bad lag time with key presses, which I did not experience with the bench test.
So this keypad is currently EOL with the ELK wireless tx/rx in the middle (used a cat 5 and wired it per the manual with 6 wires, and the data lines are then routed back to this keypad inside the can).
The other two keypads are wired on another data bus run from the M1G, with one of them EOL, and the middle one ran with a cat 5 with 6 wires like the other middle device.
Every time I enroll devices from RP, that first keypad will show up, disappear, or show erased. The model number has also displayed several different values...
I've disconnected the data bus terminal block, and tried enrolling devices with nothing connected, which deletes everything, but still shows the keypad 1, just erased.
Anyone have any ideas while I still have hair left???
