Yah, addressing non-supervised keypads always confuses me. I still hit
myself in the head after pulling the 6139 and discovering the 6148 has no
display because I forgot to set the addressssss on it...DUH.

The fun part is when you set the programming keypad to the same address as
another keypad, it won't let you into programming

Still confuses me about setting the daily test schedule vs. installer code
#00 thing for daily tests.

They made it easier to setup daily, weekly, monthly test reporting with that
method than going into scheduling and doing it the hard way, works pretty
well too and beats walking someone through schedules
