Jim:
You are too generous with your time. Thanks!
It appears to have been the wireless keypad that was the issue.
I have no idea how to tell what zone the keypad was assigned to when I
registered it into the panel with the House ID.
I assume it's the default field number.
I hope to not take up too much of your time.
What's a good time/day for you?
Thanks so much!
