The Smartcom was 2.01.05 out of the factory.
It wouldn’t check off the smartcom id but everything else passed.
On the cloud it says it was 4.01
Depends on how it’s connected to be fair 4 wires is smartcom and 2 wires is com is and you can program it up or use monitor node but for it to work in monitor mode it doesn’t require the com ports to be programmed.
In monitor mode it comes up with an error so seems like it either don’t complete a firmware upgrade at some point or the cloud is pulling old data against the test panel it’s connected to, although if I believe what I have been told the smart com is 4.91 but not completed its upgrade so doesn’t work, it’s out of warranty so can’t polish for much more to be done in reality.
I did have ago at converting to con up only but still needed both connectors, even after I moved the power over on the cable, it powers up but wouldn’t function as com ip without the smart com cables putting on comport. Not gone beyond that.
So I can use it but not as I would like and it connects both hard wireless and via the network. However it doesn’t seem to like special characters in the said password of a network, that was an issue with the earlier versions of the smart coms.
I am thinking if I can read the chips I may maybe able to flash it up by copying the firmware but that’s not my thing but there was someone on the Texecom forum that used to do that kind of thing but they seem to have gone super quiet!
