Concord Express v0500 cant see the automation unit

[geetee24]

I own ge concord express sw version 0500 and a new home automation module.
wired in the automation unit.
powered up both.
see on auto unit the power led on and the blinking BUSS red LED. So auto unit looks good.

PROBLEM: The Concord shows no indication of recognizing the automation unit. The panel should be beeping with a unknown new device. It is not.

I run the concord232server in debug mode and get:

I then plug the serial (usb) cable into miniterm and send a
ControlJ 020204 command and get a hex 6 form the auto unit. This is the unit replying with an ACK.

It appears that the concord alarm is just not seeing the auto panel.

Anyone have ideas?

Thank you.

Did you ever get this resolved? I hooked mine up yesterday, and I’m seeing the exact same issue. Power LED is on and the bus LED is blinking. The RS232 LED is off, at least when I’m looking.

The concord express absolutely 100% does not work with that unit It does not have the firmware to communicate with it The only way to solve the problem is to do what I did throw out the Concord express and in my case I bought a used Concord 4 which can communicate with the unit

Hmm. I don’t have a concord express. I have a SuperBus 2000 automation module. In theory, this is the recommended unit.

[gobigdave]

Never mind. You meant the main unit. Looks like mine is a Concord Express. Bummer.
