ELK Alarm with 4 Series


 
Edited

Has anyone had the chance to add an ELK Alarm to a 4 series processor as of yet.? I have added a tcp/ip client and configured it for the same port that is setup on the ELK alarm and have tried 2101/2102 and 2601/2602.? It just will not seem to talk to it or get any feedback from it.? Was wondering if it had anything to do with the new security measures put in place by later fw on the PRO4.
I have basically just taken the sample project and added it to slot2.? The same exact program works inside a PRO3

I have an ELK alarm panel connected to a CP4 with a serial connection.? So, the underlying modules, etc. should work fine for you on the 4 series.? I'm not sure about the issue you seem to be having with IP communications.? I've written a pile of S# drivers that communicate with various IoT devices and haven't run into any difficulties between a 4 series processor and a 3 series.?

Hope this helps

I'm not sure what the difference is but there has to be some difference.? TB said it was probably in the Simpl+ program. And that its not programmed correctly for a 4-series.? I tried again and just right clicked in the pro3 working file "replace with pro4" and loaded it and it still didn't work.? I'm not sure what to look for in the Simpl+.? Maybe someone will come along and need the same thing I do and figure it out.


 

I just finished a CP4 program a few weeks ago with an Elk connected via ethernet (port 2101). There weren't any problems, and it didn't seem any different than previous 3-series systems.

I can't remember having to modify the Simpl+, but you can check to make sure they're specified for 4-series. Are there any errors on compile?

I have noticed on some S+ modues where Threadsafe logic has been added in and they are using the #IF_SERIES3 directive, that when you compile the S+ with 4 series checked it will throw an error?"Logic excluded as a result of #IF_SERIES3 directive"?when compiling for 4 series- it does not like the #IF_SERIES3 directive. So to me that means at runtime it is not using any of the Threadsafe logic contained in that IF statement, and is instead running the ELSE logic- which may be detrimental to your desired operation. I personally saw it with a Marantz SR-7007 module. I had to resort to changing the logic to #IF_SERIES2 and #ELSE (threadsafe logic) which seemed to do the trick. But if we have to open up every S+ module and do this its gonna suck. And the fact that Simpl doesnt warn you of this when you do a recompile all you have no idea it may be broken. Still waiting on TB to tell me if Threadsafe is no longer needed for 4 series.?

Not saying this is your issue, but something to think about. Although it seems others do have it working so I may just be babbling here haha?


 

No errors on compile, and when I opened up the S+ it has 4 series included.? I'm no expert in S+ but the commands and structure looked pretty basic.? I have a cp4 on the shelf too.? I may just try running it from that as well to test.? Makes no sense that it would run on the pro3 and not the pro4

The system has a M1EXP installed.? I saw the other post saying the modules are the same, but my TCP client doesn't connect via port 2101


 

Yes, the same modules work with 4-series. I suspect there's an issue with the panel's configuration.

It sounds like you need to enable the non-secure port in the panel.?
