JTAG port on Keypadlinc??

[blueman2]

I had an older 8 way keypadlinc start to go bad.  I decided to take the plastic keypad off and save it, and when I did I noticed there is a 6 pin female input that looks like a JTAG port of some kind (single connector, 2 rows of 3).  Has anyone ever heard of what that port is for?  

 

Just curious.

That is how the firmware is loaded into the board.

Firmware programming socket as pointed out.

 

On all the other Insteon Modules it is a five pin header or five position set of pads on the PCB. As there are five connections used for programming Microchip PIC Controllers.

 

Dual Bands frequently have two programming connectors. Main controller and the RF signal controller.

 

I have not traced the six position header on the Switches. So the extra pin maybe NC or common to one of the other five. As five connections are all that is used.
