Hey DIYers.
I'm Jorge from AlarmGrid.
Today, we're going to be going over how
to find the MAC and CRC on the Lyric controller.
So today, I'm working with this Lyric alarm system.
And if you guys are just getting it out of the box,
the MAC and CRC should actually be on the actual packaging
of the Lyric alarm system.
The MAC is a 12 character number and letters.
And then the CRC is four characters.
Now, again, like I said, the MAC and CRC can be found on the box
if you bought the Lyric brand new.
If you have not installed the Lyric,
you may want to take down the MAC and CRC as well.
It can actually be found on the back before you mount it.
I'll show you guys right now.
I'm going to get a little bit of beeping on here.
[BEEPING]
Just hit tap.
If you look right here, right underneath this barcode area,
it'll show you the MAC.
It's 12 digits.
And then the CRC is four characters.
Sorry the MAC is 12 characters.
The CRC is four characters.
So 12 and four.
All right.
Let me put this back on, so I stop getting that cover temper.
So let me go ahead and clear this.
All right.
So that would be the first thing you guys want to note down.
If you guys can, before installing it,
just note down the MAC and CRC.
If you guys have a Lyric that is already installed,
to get the MAC and CRC, I'm going
to show you how to do that through the installer menu.
So to do that, this is the home screen of a Lyric.
You have Security, Automation, Video, Smart Scenes, Notices,
and Settings.
You would hit Security.
After you hit Security, you should
see Tools on the top right.
It's going to ask you for a code.
Now, a lot of people confuse the master code
with the installer code.
The master code is going to take you to a screen
where you can add new user codes, configure the Wi-Fi,
do tests, et cetera.
The installer code is what allows
you to go into programming.
I'll show you guys that right now.
Now, since my panel's defaulted, my default master code is 1234.
And my default installer code is 4112.
So watch.
If you guys come to this screen where it says User, Events,
Advance, Keypad-- all of that--
then you guys are on the wrong screen.
You guys need to make sure you're
using the installer code.
If you guys use the code and was taken to this screen,
that means that is your master code.
Your installer code will take you
to a slightly different screen.
So mine-- and remember, I said it's 4112.
You see?
It's a completely different screen.
It takes me to a Programming, Test, Events, Update Firmware.
I'm going to hit Program.
Once I'm there, hit Com Diagnostics.
Hit the down arrow key to the right hand side one time,
and then go to Communication ID Numbers.
That is this the third way that you can actually
find your MAC and CRC.
You'll see right there it's 12 characters.
And then the CRC is four characters.
And it'll say panel in parentheses.
So now you may ask--
sorry-- well, let me go ahead and back
out to the home screen.
After you get the MAC and CRC, just hit the back arrow key
all the way out, and that's all you have to worry about.
Now, if you're asking why we need the MAC and CRC
to the panel, it's so that if you're
looking to get monitored and activated,
that's how the alarm companies communicate to the Lyric
system.
They need to know the MAC and the CRC.
After they know this, they can create your account
on AlarmNet.
And after creating the account, you
can go ahead and do any EULA acceptance
or anything like that.
It depends what firmware the panel is.
But that is how monitoring companies or alarm companies
activate your Lyric alarm system.
They need that MAC and CRC.
So that's definitely one of the things you want
to make sure you note down.
You remember right out of the box,
before you install it behind it, or if you moved into a home
that already has a Lyric alarm system,
or if you just mounted it and forgot to get that information,
you can use the instructions that I just
showed you guys going through the programming screen.
Yeah?
So that was the quickest-- those are quick,
easy ways to find the MAC and CRC on the Lyric alarm system.
