How to check Lynx firmware?
Fortunately, it is very easy to check. From the main screen of the panel, choose Security > More > Tools > enter your Master Code > Test. The firmware revision will be displayed at the top of the screen. Please be aware that your Master Code should not be confused with your Installer Code. Your Master Code should be the main code that you use for arming and disarming, and it is almost always changed from its default of 1234 for security purposes. Your Installer Code is used for entering programming, and it should never be used for arming and disarming. The default Installer Code on a LYNX Touch Panel is 4112, and it is usually kept at its default.
Why is Resideo not allowing 3G activations?
Only LTE activations are permitted now that this has happened. The reason why 3G and CDMA activations are no longer allowed is because these networks are mostly going to be shut down in the coming years. AT&T and Verizon are expected to shut down these networks sometime in 2022. Once these networks are shut down, all communicators that connect with these networks will no longer work. Cellular service providers are shutting down these older networks in order to increase their support for LTE and 5G infrastructure. The more advanced LTE and 5G networks offer vastly superior speeds and much better reliability overall. That is why cellular service providers have decided to make these networks the way of the future.
What does LTE stand for in cell phone?
Cellular companies plan on providing long-term support for their LTE networks. In fact, LTE even stands for "Long-Term Evolution". This is very important, as it means that adding an LTE communicator to your security system will provide a true long-term solution in keeping it monitored.
Is LTE going away?
Some users have expressed concern with LTE, stating that it too will eventually be discontinued in favor of the 5G cellular networks that will inevitably be activated at some point. Fortunately, that is unlikely to be the case until the very distant future. Cellular service providers have repeatedly stated that they plan on maintaining support for their LTE networks, even as 5G networks begin operation. These cellular companies have invested tremendous amounts of resources into establishing the infrastructure needed to support their LTE networks. With that in mind, they are not going away any time soon. Cellular companies plan on providing long-term support for their LTE networks. In fact, LTE even stands for "Long-Term Evolution". This is very important, as it means that adding an LTE communicator to your security system will provide a true long-term solution in keeping it monitored. Although it is impossible to determine exactly how long LTE networks will remain in-service, it is expected that they will still be supported even many decades from now.
Does Lynx Touch work with CDMA?
If you have a LYNX Touch System that is currently using a 3G or a CDMA communicator for monitoring service, then it will continue to work until the associated cellular network is shut down. But eventually, you will need to upgrade to LTE if you want to continue using the system for cellular monitoring service. This upgrade goes beyond just keeping your system active. Upgrading to LTE will provide faster and more reliable communication for your system when transferring information to and from the AlarmNet360 Servers. This is important for ensuring that system notifications, including alarm events, are sent to you and/or a central monitoring station as quickly and as reliably as possible. You may also find that your system responds more quickly when sending remote commands from Total Connect 2.0 after upgrading to LTE.
Does Honeywell LTE connect to Verizon?
As upgrading to LTE is extremely important, Resideo released two (2) LTE communicator options for LYNX Touch Systems. The Honeywell LTE-L57A will connect with the AT&T LTE Network, and the Honeywell LTE-L57V will connect with the Verizon LTE Network. Whether you decide to go with AT&T or Verizon should be based on the network coverage in your area. It is recommended that you check the respective coverage maps for these service providers and go with the network that you believe will provide the most reliable service in your area. It is important to understand that this decision has nothing to do with the service provider you use for your phone, and it will have absolutely no impact on your monthly monitoring expenses. If you find that neither AT&T nor Verizon provides adequate service in your area, then you may consider getting a cellular antenna or a cellular amplifier in order to boost communication signals.
