RE: Serial Protocol Capture...

["Lee" <mailinglists@xxxxxxx>]

I've tried various other analyzers that watch the serial port as I press
buttons on the remote keypads,
and other inline analyzers that monitor the port when I run the windows
alarm setup software.
(This is a package that runs on the PC and serial lead with a max232 in it,
that connects to the alarm
panel, which lets you set up the alarm and save/restore the settings,
rather
than using several hundred
button presses on the remote keypads).

When I ran the plain serial port watcher, whatever I set the com port
settings to, there was loads
of traffic. From reading all the paperwork, the alarms onboard modem is a
quite slow (300-2400 baud)
so I can't image that the keypad traffic would be any faster, and somehow I
doubt there really is that
traffic - I mean what can three keypads say to an alarm unit? Hey I'm OK,
are you OK? Yes I'm OK,
are you OK?

I thought it would be so easy.... argh!

Hi,

How have you analyzed the communication between the keyboard and the alarm
till now?
Did you monitor the communication puting something in between?
