RHC: Yes, that is odd. Usually that string will force the panel to
answer at any point in the ring cycle. Bottom line, you can spend
forever trying to get this older alarm panel software to work, but
I've found it's best just to find a "work around" and go about your
business. I don't think much of the alarm software is all that well
written frankly, from any manufacturer....
