Description
Hi,
I have an MG5050+
I tried multiple combinations of the configuration and continuously get the following in the logs:
INFO - PAI.paradox.connections.connection - Connection established
INFO - PAI.paradox.paradox - Connecting to Panel
ERROR - PAI.paradox.paradox - Timeout while connecting to panel. Is an other connection active?
ERROR - PAI - Unable to connect to alarm
After some investigation, the MG5050+ serial ports requires to be unlocked, as per the installers manual:
Enter section [300] to unlock your MG5050+ panel serial ports for use with third-party devices using a TM70/ TM50 Touch keypad.
So my questions:
- Is this expected behaviour/ Is the MG5050+ supported?
- Anyone else with the issue/ Is there another way to unlock the serial ports?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the logged connection timeout with an MG5050+ and review the installer manual's section [300] on unlocking serial ports. Determine whether the panel is supported and whether the connection flow needs a documented or implemented unlock path; done means the supported configuration and resolution are established.
