### Alarm System Configuration

As part of the installation process of the IP232 module the device will need to be configured with the correct settings. From the [iComms Manual](https://ness.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021989074-iComms-Manual) there are 3 essential steps:
1. Setting up the IP232 module with the correct baud rate (9600).
2. Ensuring connectivity of the device on either a DHCP assigned or Static IP address.
3. Setting the alarm panel up to allow for serial control. On D8x/D16x panels this is enabled by setting `P 199 E` `1E` to `6E` to be `ON` (6E available on v6 panels and later only).

If the settings in steps 1 and 2 are not set correctly the integration will not be able to communicate properly with the device. If the `P 199 E` from step 3 is not configured properly data will not be sent to the integration when events occur.
