Hi John,

I'd expect you'd meet resistance here too:

One reason is; it would be orders of magnitude more diffcult
to "harden" your server to the same level as a commercial security
product sitting on the edge of your network - every bit of software
on your server could be exploitable, and you'd have to re-test
(expensive and inconclusive) every time you upgraded or patched.

Another is that human nature is to store data locally, regardless of
what the security/data policy dictates. So your server is really only
one piece of a much bigger jigsaw - and it's probably all seen as
sensitive to prying eyes.

Hope that helps,
Ol

Yuhuu it works!

That was a really good tip Matt + using the V command instead of X,
really really good!

Thanks for all the input to Matt and Chip.

Thanks Matt.

As this is my first crestron project, and I'm a neewbie in this,

can

you give me an example how I will do that?
Let's say I will transmit **X1,1,0!! will I then input that on Str1
and the next command on str2 etc?

Yup, the digital trigger for sending that string on the blue line,

type

the string in the parameter field, and then black line is the tx$ to
your device.

You can add more inputs by holding alt and pressing +.

Yes. Believe it or not, there are still people out there with large VHS collections that prefer the simplicity of a VCR.

Chip, thanks for the tip on the Sony combo units. We'll have to give those a try next time.

Time to send it back, which is what I thought would happen anyway.

we generally stick to resi. I tend to set up mac filtering and some

description to home owners is that Mac ID filtering is like a gate
that checks your drivers license and encryption is like a lock. (i'll
give a little wep=door lock, wpa==boltlock, etc description) Then I'll
tell them that just like a house, if someone with some skill wants in,
they are flat out coming in.

last rack i did for an actual company had an 8X in it. I set the
router up wide open. I got their IT department involved from the start
and left it up to them to lock it down.

I actually have 50 joins for each source. For example Source-1 KP-1 would
be join 51/id 10 and Source-2 KP-1 would be join 101/id 10. I only use
different RF ID's for Zone commands. This allows for you to use the search
and replace feature in Integration Designer. The range is pretty far, so I
have not needed more than 1 gateway. I talked with TB about multiple
gateways. Multiple gateways only act as antenna array. The net id of the
gateways is really only identification on the cresnet network. Any gateway
will respond and repeat any RF ID that it sees. If I was given
misinformation please correct me.

After playing with the Integration Designer, I think what John G was meaning
was that no matter what page you were on, the 1 key would use the same join
number. This would fit in with the use of crosspoint routing in the system.
If you had another remote, it would be using a new RF ID. Or using the trick
that I think Tony had, you would use a different set of joins using the same
RF ID.

I they would still be able to use the local controls without the G50,
but I'll confirm that.

Thanks for the reply.

The contractor has asked me whether this would be better than

Thanks in advance, for any input.

I agree with earlier posts that both HAI and GE offer nice robust
keypad emulation, and I prefer working with them. I have noticed a
tendency for Crestron systems communicating with an HAI to lock up.
This appears to be due to processor overload on medium to large
systems. Easily resolved by using a QM-RMC as a stand alone processor
for the security system.

Having said that, and adding that I've never tried the keypad
emulation for the "FBP," a number of the integrators I program for use
"BP" panels exclusively. I've managed to write a series of modules
that works very well, and while it isn't strictly speaking keypad
emulation its close enough that the clients don't seem to notice. Most
of the information exists in the protocol so that you can scroll
through open zones and such on the touch panels, so that it looks like
"keypad emulation."

I guess the point that I making is that the Ademco works well enough,
if you work within certain boundaries.

Luke

the suggestions i got did not get the look i wanted. After hearing back from TB, i was told that there is not much i can do change the placement of parameters. And one thing i did not think about which they told me, if i really wanted the symbol to look a certain way, i need to wrap my module into a user module where i can shape it how i want in the argument definition.

I did just that and it's just how i want now.

Thanks Guys for the replies!
Very much appreciated

Add as many instances of "_skip_" as you have parameters.

The same method can be applied to the output, or you can use the

Why there is no "#input_shift" declaration is anybody's guess?

Does anybody know the required equipment to interface a leviton
lighting system to my clients crestron units?

I assume there is the equivelient to the lutron Grafic eye for
leviton?

Or at least a relay box.

Maybe you could think about using more crosspoint connections, think
about the destinations as equipment crosspoints rather than the
sources themselves.

When you connect your TP to the destinations, the source selections
as 21 presses to an 'after the crosspoint' init / equate scenario
would do all your routing for you rather than a bunch of steppers.
Maybe more work up front, but adding another display or source would
be rather easy compared to your other alternative.



wrote:

Eeek! (and you're welcome ;) )

My advice would be to try to find a way to reduce the source

selections to an analog value or values -- I don't know enough about
your architecture to select a specific method, and plus a guy has to
keep some tricks up his sleeve. Use the analog(s) to deal with the
signal routing [e.g. analog into ATOS to build the routing string for
each matrix output] and group sources by input types (e.g. VGA
sources, Composite sources, etc) and at most you're dealing with a
handful of steppers

e.g Select PC1:
1) Initialize analog(s) for matrix(ies) and and send serial routing

command based on the new analog value

2) Goes into OR for any PC source which kicks off Stepper for "any

VGA input"

There are a bunch of ways to deal with this, some (my personal

favorites) can do input selection, room power, and matrix routing
kicking everything off with a single analog (which makes room
combining REALLY easy ;) )

Subject: [Crestron] Lots of sources-- would like some advice

Been playing around on paper with a system that I have to work on
soon. Its going to be 21 video sources that will be routable to any

of

8 tvs. There are a few different matrix switchers involved, fyi. I

am

pretty sure that I am going to need 168 steppers to move each

switcher

to the right position. I am just confused on the best way to trigger
each stepper.

I am going to use two different crosspoints--1 for the room and 1

for

the actual source (Thank you very much LKC, your advice is

appreciated

more than you would believe) Should I just interlock the rooms and

the

sources and use buffers to hit the correct stepper? It kind of feels
like a waste to go through that since I am already going to be using
crosspoints. Would analog equates using the equipment ID#s make any

sense?

If I came out of the room analog equate into the enable line of 8
buffers, I could then put the 21 different sources into each of the
buffers using the analog equate outputs for the sources. So in

total,

I am looking at

2 crosspoints --->
2 analog equates --->
8 buffers of 21 inputs --->
168 steppers

So it is definitely confirmed that adding motion sensors to the
system will lock it up?
The INITIALIZE input on the keypad emulation module does a good job
of refreshing the two line text and feedback.
I have been working with Crestron for the past few weeks to get this
resolved. 3 or 4 separate sites have an FBP system running all with
the same symptoms and I'm being thrown on wild goose chases checking
wires, loading demo programs, and burning bridges with my alarm
integrators.
I should be getting an Ademco test unit in my office here to play
around with. I am looking forward to seeing what happens.
Thanks for the heads up. Is it time to move on from Ademco?

I've fucking had it with this 128FBP. I just spent all weekend

just

trying to get reliable keyypad emulation feedback to no avail. The
panel does work great with no motions or door contacts hooked up to
it (you can have plenty of zones programmed). Once the
panel/processor starts to chatter with motions going on/off it
starts to hang. For example if I walk around the house with my
laptop (running xpanel) and trigger motions and door contacts,
within 2 or 3 times the feedback on the kepad eventually just stays
on one state (Fault 004 Back Door) It then takes a couple of other
motions to go on/off and eventually the module updates and all is
well for the next 3 or 4 times. I'm running the newest v3.0
crestron module with a pro2. It does say in the module.pdf that
there is a refresh command you can send to update the 2 lines of
text on the panel, however I cannot find that in the argument
definition. All I see is Initialize or Poll. I've already set the
panel to factory defaults 3 times. The panel does arm and disarm
instantly with no motions or contacts hooked up to it. Once

motions

and contacts are hooked up that is when things become unreliable.
I'm just desparate to find an ultra reliabe alarm panel to work
with. All I'm looking for is instant keypad emulation
control/feedback. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
