Napco's current software makes it much easier.  When you create a new
account it takes you through all of the screens in order.  I spend a few
minutes on the phone explaining what the functions are for and which ones
are / are not neeeded.  Then I explain how to configure the zones and
execute the download.  It doesn't take long.  FWIW, in 30 years in this
industry I've yet to meet an installer who beloinged to Mensa.  Most have
not finished high school.  I have, however, met plenty of DIYers with
engineering degrees, some of whom have been Mensa members too.
