M1XIN enrollment problem in ElkRP

[Peter_H]

So I am having a problem with my 2nd input expander. I enrolled it using the keypad and it is coming up as expander 4. However, I have the jumper set to 3.

I only have 2 total. The first is set to jumper 2 and was enrolled properly. How can I get it to detect as Expander 3 instead of 4?

Thanks,
Peter

The switches are a binary address.

The jumpers represent bits they represent 1,2,4,8 in the ON position (even though they are labelled 1,2,3,4) and you have to add them together. For address 3 you need the jumpers to be on,on,off,off. What you probably have is off,off,on,off which is a 4.

1,2,4,8
on(1),off,off,off = 1
off,on(2),off,off=2
on(1),on(2),off,off =3
off,off,on(4),off = 4
on(1),off,on(4),off =5
...

DIP switch values are binary values in decimal are 1,2,4,8. or actually 8,4,2,1 if you're reading the switches.
Off is 0, on is 1.
second range would be 0010 =2
third range would be 0011 = 3

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I did. I read the # on the switch instead of the number on the board.

What is the proper way to fix this? Remove from ELK RP, power down and then reset the switches and power up? After that I do I need to enroll it on the keypad again?

 

[pipeman]

I think so, yes.
Also You will need to un-enroll the adapter from the errant address 4.

Where is that in the process above?

I think if you just shut down, change the address and start up and re-enroll, it will 'un-enroll' the old and enroll the new.

Do I still need to remove the input expander from ELKRP first or is it not necessary since it will detect a conflict the next time I connect with ELKRP?

Expanders don't usually cause conflicts. You can add any range you want to your input section in RP. You can add all zones if you want, and program the panel to do things when zones that don't exist are made secure, etc. To make your life easier only have the input ranges that are active available.
