			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
I have an issue with the system in that when a zone is activated and you get a call from the system there is no voice to tell where the activation is (which zone).<br />
Also when you go to the door station is also does not tell you which zone has been activated.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have just powered up a CBUS to KNX translator<br />
I have both CBUS and KNX connected<br />
<br />
I am unable to connect using the USB cable.<br />
<br />
In settings there is no pull down menu to indicate a USB found and in the serial no line its just 'blued out' I cannot type anything.<br />
<br />
If I go transfer system information then I get a small window appear<br />
"error opening USB port:  FT_INVALD_HANDLE<br />
<br />
If I remove the cable then it says: FT_DEVICE NOT FOUND<br />
<hr class="mycode_hr" />
I have just gone into device manager and can see an active USB Comport4 (only one present and it disappears when cable removed).<br />
<br />
 - Says device is working properly<br />
 - Set at 9600 bits per second<br />
 - Parity : none<br />
 - Stop bits: 1<br />
 - Flow control: none<br />
<br />
Under events this must have happened in the background ! : "Driver Management has concluded the process to add Service FTSER2K for Device Instance ID FTDIBUS\VID_0403+PID_6001+AH00SBLYA\0000 with the following status: 0."<br />

I have just tried changing the SB cable<br />
I have also tried changing the USB daughter board<br />

No change to the end result]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A really simple and I'm sure, a daft question! Ive looked at my Config file and I see a few 'custom events' - one that occurs every evening and one every (early) morning, as well as the occasional random 'custom event'. I must have set them up, some years ago, but Ive forgotten how! And the numbers of these 'custom' events do not tie up with the events shown in the Comfigurator. Where and how do I view what these custom events are and what settings they are making? Thanks for any help! Mike]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Comfort Server Manager 2 is a new version which discovers ETH033 network modules in the local network. Unlike the original Comfort Server Manager, it works on ALL network adaptors in the PC, eg wifi and LAN, and it will not attempt to search in Virtual network adaptors. The old software did discovery only on the 1st adaptor in the PC, and in some cases did not find the ETH03.<br />
<br />
Note that the Comfort server manager included in Comfigurator is the old one. Please install the new software and run it as a standalone program. A New version of Comfigurator in the future will include Comfort Server manager 2.<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size">The Comfort Analog Input grapher software helps to check the analog Voltage of the selected Input/Zone over time. This is useful when there is Zone Trouble on one or more zones. Zone Trouble may be caused by wire resistance or Faulty sensors but it may be intermittent, and difficult to check with a mulitmeter. This tool make a graphical display of the voltage over time, and allows you to save the image or log. You select No EOL or Double EOL for the zone before starting. the Zone Trouble region in the graph is marked out and in yellow. You can choose the UCM connection method as Network (ETH03) or COM Port (USB). This runs independently of Comfigurator.</span><br />

I'm guessing the battery need replacement. Can you advise if its a simple matter of unplugging the old and replacing with new ot you do need to tell the system youve changed it. Can it wait two weeks for my return? Or as I wont be there I can get someone else to re[place it, my panel has no anti tamper on it and actually easy to access the battery.   So is it a simple matter of swapping or is there more to it. THanks for advice.]]></description>

There is a corresponding voltage drop pulse seen on the 12v supply, approximately 1v drop around 300mSec duration. I have isolated the supply to the PIRs and vibration sensors but the chirp remains. The voltage dip is still seen if the bellbox is disconnected.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have a separate thread on SCS on a CM9001/A<br />
<br />
In trying to troubleshoot this I wanted to try older firmware on the CM9001/A to determine if SCS used to work.<br />
<br />
I ran into problems - I downgraded to ULTA 7.252.   SCS still didn't work, but found I was then unable to upgrade again to 8.034.  I got a message to say that the firmware did not match the system type.<br />
<br />
after a reset the CM9001/A no longer responds - ONLY the right hand red LED of the bank of 4 LEDs is lit (ID0?), ie to the immediate right of the ALM LED.<br />
<br />
I am assuming either the board is faulty or the FW is corrupted.    I then tried to upgrade with the firmware upgrade cable, but noted that a CM9001/A needs a UCM/USB and not ETH03.<br />
<br />
Since I don't have a USB module I will have to order one, though Laser do not appear to have them in stock.  Before I order one on back-order through them please could you help me with advice on whether you think this is likely to work or is this CM9001/A faulty?]]></description>

I am assuming either the board is faulty or the FW is corrupted.    I then tried to upgrade with the firmware upgrade cable, but noted that a CM9001/A needs a UCM/USB and not ETH03.<br />
<br />
Since I don't have a USB module I will have to order one, though Laser do not appear to have them in stock.  Before I order one on back-order through them please could you help me with advice on whether you think this is likely to work or is this CM9001/A faulty?]]></content:encoded>
