DSC - device detection using DLS

[Michel Scory]

I'm using a DSC5020, ESCORT 5580, expander 5108 and LCD keypad. Everything
works properly however, using DLS2002, I'm not able to see neither the 5108
nor the LCD keypad, that's OK for the 5020 and ESCORT.

I'm a bit surprised because in the earliest stage of the installation, I saw
everything so it is proably not due to the DLS drivers.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot
Michel

If I recall you won't see the 5108 but its there, make sure the LCD keypad
is set at address 8, if you have it as the same address as other keypads it
won't show

When you make "New account" on DLS you have to add LCD, ESCORT and expander
in module section.

No you dont. It has auto-detect features. Whenever I do a download, i
connect first with it on auto, i put in my download code and i say upload
all .. it connects, determine the panel, and then makes the modules for me.

Not if he uses the "Detect Modules" feature however DSC treats zone
expanders in a slightly different way, they don't show up as an additional
module like an Escort etc, the software just treats them as additional zones
on the 5010/5020

True they do show up in the status menu, forgot about that
