That could be it, then. I see there are motion sensors on the lights
themselves that don't trigger, so I figured they're all hooked in
together. I can get you pictures of anything tomorrow, but I'm not
exactly sure what you're asking for. The AC to DC transformer is
hidden behind insulation and I can't get at it, but I can have picture
of the system box itself or the exterior lighting. The lights
themselves are flush mounted and caulked, otherwise I probably would
have pulled them out already to see what could be done with them.

This I might take you up on. I'm considering going with a telco DSL
internet solution which provides an incoming phone line at no charge,
so you'd be able to dial in. The telco said they could have a line up
within a week. Give me a few days to get things in order and I'll get
back to you. I really appreciate the offer.

I see where each zone connects on the board itself. I could tag the
wires so they go to the same zones on the new board, but I still
wouldn't know what each zone does. Is there a way to determine what
zones monitor what sensors when the alarm is completely
nonfunctional? I can bring up programming mode, but pretty much every
setting I tried to access I was locked out of. I remember seeing a
test mode, perhaps I'm not locked out of that.
