== Hardware Installation  ==

The following section assumes you have a working Paradox Alarm Panel and have successfully connected, and configured, the Paradox Security PTR3 Printer Module. 

Each of these devices comes with instructions for wiring and basic configuration. If you are not comfortable with this type of Wiring and configuration then contact your Alarm installer ''before'' proceeding. 

Notes 

  * Configure the PTR3 Module Baud Rate

  In Paradox EVO Alarm Panels this is Section `[016]` and in Spectra Alarm Panels this is Section `[553]` of the Alarm Panel configuration.  The Baud Settings should be configured to `57600` Baud by setting both Options `[2] & [3]` to `[ON]`.  You can use a lower Baud rate, but it will slow the communications between Vera and the Alarm Panel.

  * Configure the PTR3 Module for Home Automation

  In Paradox EVO Alarm Panels, this is Section `[016]`, Option `[4]`. It should be set to `[ON]`

  * Set any Zone Labels '''after''' you connect the PRT3 Module to the Combus

  Only Zone Labels changed/modified ''after'' PRT3 is attached will be correctly recorded in the PRT3 Module. If you set the Zone Labels prior to connecting the PRT3, it'll only list "Default" Labels for each Zone. The Vera-Luup Alarm interface code will skip over these as if they're ''unused'' Zones. Please use the Alarm Panel's Reference and Installation manuals to determine how to setup your Zone Labels.
  If you've attached the PRT3 Module to an existing Alarm Panel, you can simply re-enter the Zone Labels to "trigger" it to get a copy of them.

  * Attach Vera to the Paradox PRT3 Module using a USB Cable
  After attaching Vera to the Paradox PRT3 Module, navigate to the following page in Vera:

    '''Apps''' >> '''Develop Apps''' >> '''Serial Port configuration'''
Change the '''Baud''' rate to ''57600'', matching the alarm panel, and press '''Save'''.

== Software Installation ==

1. Go to '''Apps''' -> '''Install Apps''' and install the plugin.
2. After the plugin has been installed go to '''Apps''' >> '''Develop Apps''' >> '''Serial Port configuration''' and select the alarm panel device from the '''Used by device''' drop-down list.
3. Save.
4. After Luup restarted, reload the UI.

The Alarm Panel Plugin code will now read configuration data from the Alarm Panel, such as the number of Areas, Zones and Users.  Once complete, Vera will present you with a list of these Alarm Panel Zones in the "unassigned" Devices area. You can Assign the Alarm Panel's Zones to [http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Rooms Rooms] within Vera, and then '''(Save)''' at the end to ensure these settings are persisted.
