Continuos beeping from GE Simon alarm. Loses it's ip address and gets a new one from linksys router every 5-10 minutes. Driving my wife and I nuts. Have tried giving the unit a static ip from router interface. Have tried the unplug restart thing countless times. Most solutions tried. Protect America just says to buy a d-link router. That their systems work best with them. Frustrated. Locked into a three-year contract.
Which version Simon do you have? The user guide will tell you.
Same Problem

-   My SImon also has a TCP/IP problem that occured 5 days after installation. At the recommendation of Protect America,I have installed a new D-Link router, changed my internet connection protocol (because the D-Link could not figure out how to connect to a dedicated DSL line without a password), verified that my internet security program is NOT interferring with the router, and updated all applicable software. Protect America has sent a new Simon and it does exactly the same thing. Of course, they won't take it back and refund my money. Don't buy from Protect America without checking out their UNACCEPTABLE rating by the Better Business Bureau.-   CCryder59
Unfortunatly you dont get somthing for nothing. what state are you located in? see there is somthing about a contract with no service. if your company does not perform then you shoul be let out of your contract. tell the if there system only work with d-link they should provided it. ask the to remotly program a static address into your system. it does not matter if your router is setup for a certain static IP if your panel is set to dynamic ip. make them fix it. its companies like this that give my industry a negitive view in consumers eyes. they need to fix your problem of step aside so you can find a company that will. Now GO Get Em.

I have had a working GE Simon 3 for a couple of years. After a recent house remodel, I noticed that the alarm speaker on the panel has been disconnected from the circuit board. There are two possible pairs of pins on the board that the speaker could connect to. When looking at opened panel, there is a pair of pins at roughly 11 o'clock from the speaker, and a pair at roughly 10 o'clock from the speaker. Which of these should I connect the speaker to? Thanks.

I have had a ADT Security system for years however I do not have actual service with ADT for maybe a year now but we still set the alarm at night. Recently it started beeking and kept saying low battery. I replaced the battery and it still is not working properly and does not recognize any of the sensors............

My new GE Simon is programmed and ready to go but even though it says doors and windows are armed. Nothing happens when I open the doors and windows in armed mode. No sound, no alarm. I know the sound works becuase when I try to access the panel without an access code it trps the alarm. Also, key chain fobs fail after a few hours. They work fine then lose the code. Batteries have been replaced.
