Equipment required
From Nimbus

Set an account number (6 digits max)
Communications settings:
Baud = 9600
Data = 8
Parity = None
Stop = 1
When performing a walk test the Galaxy panel will not output to Nimbus
To resolve this issue you can configure SIA level 4 instead which allows remote control, when a walk test is started and SIA level 4 is configured. The gateway will then attempt to poll all zones for state changes.
Panel connections
Connect nimbusGo to the RS232 card via the 2m Adapter Lead and the Multi Panel (Tx, Rx, Gnd) Panel Adapter.
You will now see the panel LED on nimbusGo turn green, and "good" panel comms will be indicated in Nimbus Engineer.
