DANGER DANGER
DO NOT plug a Concept Alarm system into the DB9 connector of a 5100TAU C-Bus Telephone Interface (to try and use the 5100TAU as a regular C-Bus PCI)!
The Concept systems change the C-Bus PCI baud rate from 9600 bits/sec to 1200 bits/sec.
The 5100TAU has an embedded PCI, but it has another processor in between. The result of plugging a Concept system into a 5100TAU is that the 5100TAU is rendered useless - the Concept won't talk through it and nor will anything else.
CIS can repair the settings, and plan on having a downloadable method of making the same fix - if all goes well its a week or two away.
The repair will just restore the settings so the unit operates again - it will not make it compatible with a Concept Alarm system. So....
DONT DO IT!
