Thanks, that's more than I knew before.  Let me get this straight.  If
locked, only the installer code is defaulted, otherwise everything is
defaulted.  Is there anyway of telling if the panel is locked (clicking of
realy on DSC panels)?  If I recall, there was only an LED keypad and no
programming sheets on site.  Also a 4 hours drive one way.

Thanks
