I would like to use a laptop to locally program a Vista 250BP. I have Compass download software (Part# CMP1580ADCD Version 1.5.8.0).
The datasheet says that I need to hook the laptop up to a 4100SM serial module. This panel has an Alpha Paging Module installed. Can I hook up the laptop to the Alpha Paging Module and still use the Compass software?
Never tried it but you should be able to they have an extra port off the serial module.
I do the local programming using a viking electronics phone line simulator when i can not use the serial module route works extremely well on various makers panels.
