Cheers Stuart I will email you. As for changing the bus I cannot as it's the GD-48

To follow this up, the keypads have now come back and they can be accessed. In the logs I got the following: -MISSING RIO -MISSING COM4 -MISSING KEY These are repeated with the relevant address for the RIO or keypad addresses. I know it's a hot day today but no keypad is in direct sunlight and the controller is not in a hot place. Anyone have any experiences of this? Thanks again. Nick

Hi all, I fitted the above about 6 months ago, the following is the setup: GD-48 3x MK8 Keypad's 1x External powered RIO Handful of PIR's Handful of G3 door mags Elmdene bell box Ethernet Module for Self Mon All has been working excellently up until today, the alarm put out a tamper so all 3 keypads were beeping constantly, upon me trying to input a user code or the manager code not 1 of the keypads would accept any key presses. While this is ongoing randomly on different keypads the static white LED would flash rapidly, also the beeping would stop altogether then start again. I eventually managed to get into the system using the manager code to see 18 alarms of "keys missing" is this the keypads going offline on the RS485 bus? It now sits with all groups disarmed and in engineer mode but again no keypad is accepting any key presses. The only thing that changed in the environment was that my BB router has failed so the system cannot contact the selfmon arc. Anyone got any ideas please? Thanks in advance. Nick

Thanks for the info on the RS-485. As for the GPRS I realised after writing the above with further research I was barking up the wrong tree! I'm after something like a dialler to inform me should the alarm be activated but I don't want to use a dialler. Is there any better options for this? Thanks Nick
