I do not think the older 3200 can use version V20 or above.

I have a panel with V10A and can not do Home Automation.  I bought the
GEN-AUTOMATION kit and came with V40C.  Does not work in my old 3200 panel.  I
"think" the version V11D HA wll work but can not find it available.  I do see
version V11E available but do not know if it will do home automation.  Does
anyone know if V11E will work in my panel that has V10A to be able to use the
RS-232 to control system or PC?
