Texecom Elite 24 Smartcom and upgrade

[rpatel2]

Hi

I use to have a landline dialler for my alarm, but we've now gotten rid of our landline and only have broadband.
So i got a SmartCom (Wifi & Ethernet), i followed some instructions and managed to get this phsycailly installed using ethernet and connecting com 1 and 2 to the respective locations in the panel using this guide https://texe.in/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Texecom-Connect-SmartCom-CEL0003.pdf

I do have the engineers code.

However, after choosing Com Port 1, i don't get a option to select SmartCom? I'm thinking this is potentially due to very outdated firmware (see below)

I was wondering if I can please have some advice to getting SmartCom connected?

My original engineer isn't contactable at any more, so if possible, i would prefer to resolve this issue myself. The alarm, otherwise, works fine.

Kind regards

Software is too old needs to be V4.0 at least , you can flash upgrade the panel

unless you know someone who can do it for you , it may be cheaper buying another 24 panel ….

@sparkymarka if I got another v24 panel, probably would have to configure everything from scratch again right?

I normally program from wintex so I would upload old config , re write one for the new panel and download it ….wintex is free , com usb is less than £20
