Visonic PowerLink Problems
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2015 6:34 pm
Hello. I have a Powermax+ with a Powerlink version 1 external unit.
I recently tried to set up the PowerMaster Remote Programmer software to test/program my alarm system. I purchased an FTDI usb to RS232 cable along with a Cisco console cable.
Long story short, I un-enrolled the Powerlink. I'm not sure why I did. Anyway, I successfully set up the Programmer software and can get the setup from the Powermax+ successfully.
Now, I went to re-enroll the Powerlink and I am unable to. I always get the unsuccessful beeps.
I try to reach out to Visonic to see if they would provide any assistance. They eventually responded but only said to go through the menus as I had already done. No other assistance from them.
When I plug everything back the way it was, I see the power lights and ethernet lights on the Powerlink. I can also see that the Powerlink is being assigned an IP address on my router.
I try to access the web interface at the IP address that is assigned, but this does not work.
I tried resetting the Powermax+ to defaults and that didn't help. I also tried to reset the Powerlink but I was unable to see how to do this, if possible.
I previously was able to telnet into the Powerlink using the info at http://voksenlia.net/powerlink/ but now I can't telnet in any longer.
I'm pretty sure that the IP setup on the Powerlink is for DHCP but I can't remember the details.
Any help is appreciated. Are there any steps to see what is going on or to resolve this? Has anyone had this happen?
Thank you
