I have a Caddx NX6 pannel with NX584 card.
I have configured a generic serial interface and a device but I am just seeing jiberish charactors in the device log.
I have set the pannel to baud rates to match with the serial device and set the panel to Asci but I am not sure what I should be seeing.
Can anyone provide me some guidance?
Thanks

Re: Caddx
I guess you should know what to expect before starting this. Maybe you should be looking at the Received Hex Data instead of the ascii data.
Also try different handshake methods. Not long ago I had the same problem and it turned out to be the handshake.
Most devices are set to 9600 - 1 - 8 - none so try chaning "none" to something else.
Setting it to ASCII or Hex refers to sending data, not receiving!

As an belated fyi...
The CADDX panel "speaks" gibberish... It's a binary protocol. Even if you set the panel to ASCII, it just sends the equivalent hex as a string instead of binary... So you will still just see hex no matter you do.
As per my PM, I have a script that "talks" the CADDX protocol and can update a device.
