Hey, DIYers.
Jarrett with Alarm Grid here.
Today we're going to talk about how
you would display the MAC ID on the Honeywell Wireless Alarm
Systems.
The MAC ID and the CRC codes are very, very important
to the alarm system, especially when
you're going to be setting it up with our monitoring services.
Now the MAC ID and the CRC, they're
both used in order to be able to associate that alarm
system with the AlarmNet 360 account that
needs to be created in order to set it up
for monitoring services.
Now if you had a central station monitoring service,
or if you just had Total Connect 2.0, either way, the MAC ID
and the CRC codes will need to be used in order
to be able to set those up.
Now as I said, the MAC and CRC codes are very important.
And when you are being set up for monitoring services,
you need to be able to find the MAC ID and the CRC codes
to be able to provide it for your alarm monitoring
services or the alarm company so that they
can take those codes associated with the account,
create the account, and do everything
they need to do to be able to help you get set up
for monitoring.
Now when you're providing the MAC ID and the CRC codes,
you are going to get those whenever
you do have an IP communicator installed in the system.
So if you have a LYNX Touch Panel,
the LYNX Touch Panels, unfortunately, they
don't come with a Wi-Fi module installed or pre-installed.
They normally come without that.
And you do have to get the communicator separately.
Now you could technically set up the system
with the cellular communicator, but you also
will need to install that as well for the LYNX Touth Panels.
So if you do have either the Wi-Fi module
or the cellular module installed and you
go to display the MAC ID and the CRC, then at that point,
if you do have those installed, then
you will be able to get those.
But if you don't have them installed,
then there is going to be no MAC and CRC
that you can retrieve for the alarm monitoring company.
So you definitely want to keep in mind
and check if you do have a communicator installed
for your LYNX Touch Panel.
Now for the Honeywell Lyric system,
it does have the Wi-Fi built into it.
There's nothing in regards to Wi-Fi module that
needs to be installed or anything like that.
So the Honeywell Lyric automatically
has a MAC and CRC code that you can
check and be able to provide to your company.
If you had a cellular communicator as well,
you don't actually have to worry about the MAC and CRC
for the communicator.
As long as you provide the MAC and CRC for the Lyric itself,
then they'll be able to set that up.
So if you wanted to find the MAC ID,
then you'll just follow these simple steps.
We're going to be starting on the Honeywell Lyric first.
So what you'll do is on the Main screen,
you're just going to press Security.
You're going to go to Tools.
And then you're going to type in the installer code.
The default installer code is 4112.
So press Program.
You're going to go into COM Diagnostics.
Hit the Down Arrow.
And then you should see Communication ID Numbers
in this menu.
So once you tap on that, you'll see the MAC address and the CRC
code.
And also as I did mention earlier,
the Honeywell Lyric has the built-in Wi-Fi module.
So that is why this is showing.
So gotten once you've found the MAC ID and the CRC
for the Honeywell Lyric system, just
hit the Back Arrow till it takes you back
all the way to the main screen.
So now we're going to move over to the Honeywell Lynx Touch
Panel so that you can see how to find the MAC ID.
So what you'll do is just tap Security.
Or on the main screen, you're going to tap Security.
Then you're going to tap More.
You're going to go to Tools.
And this is where you're going to type in the installer code.
Again, the default installer code is 4112.
And you press Program.
COM Diagnostics.
Tap the Down Arrow, and then go to Communication ID Numbers
as well.
And then you will be able to see the MAC and CRC as well.
So as you can see in this one, we have the Wi-Fi MAC ID.
We also have the MAC CRC for the Wi-Fi module.
And we also do have a cellular module as well.
So you can see the MAC ID for the cellular.
You can see the CRC for the cellular.
And my apologies, this is actually the MAC ID
for the Wi-Fi module.
Don't look down here.
So basically once you have confirmed
that you do have the MAC ID and the CRC
codes for your Honeywell Wireless Alarm System,
it gives it the Back Arrow.
So it takes you back to the main screen.
Now for the LYNX Touch Panel, I did
forget to mention, my apologies, you do get this window when
you're exiting out of the main menu, compared to the Lyric,
which it doesn't give you that option.
So this little window, you're always going to press Yes.
Allow Installer to Re-Enter Programming, always press Yes.
If you press No, you're going to be locked out of programming,
and you're going to have to backdoor
to try to get back into it.
So to avoid that, just press Yes.
Then hit the Back Arrow.
Takes you back to the main screen.
And that is how you find the MAC ID on your Honeywell Wireless
Alarm System.
