So much for Doug's input.

No.  It's pretty accurate, Frank.  I do this all the time and I have it down to
a system.  The client makes a list of what's in the zones, the number and type
of keypads, etc.  When you open a new "account" (Napco's term for a file) the
system walks you through a series of screens where the various system elements
are configured.  Each screen takes only a minute or two.  Once that's done
you're in the zone assignment screen.  I tell the client to type in the zone
names (Front Door, Mary's Window, etc) and call me back.

On the second call I teach how to use the zone configuration screen.  A few
minutes there and it's ready to download.  The actual download operation takes
only a few seconds.

True, but Leuck prefers to pretend he doesn't know that.

Well, nobody's perfect.

They don't but if they serve the needs of your clients that's fine.  My
customers are umm, different.  :^)

Some of them are but the truth is I get far more business from people who
frequent ASA than CHA.

Those two?  Yeah, right.
