RHC; Frank, Jim cannot unlock the DSC 1616 series boards either. We
work together to some degree and I would know right up front if he had
found a way to do this.

Good point though about making sure it is unlocked !! Many not really
familiar with alarm boards could easily confuse simply changing the
installer code (which is normal) with locking the board (which is
quite different)...

If I know how to get into any Networx panel in alarm state without knowing
the download code or installer code, is it possible to do the same thing on
a DSC the same way that I do on a Networx without getting into how it is
done in these posts? I was trying to find out before I install all the
software needed to get into a DSC and learn it as well. I guess this is a
question for those who know what I am talking about. It would be helpful for
the 1555MX at least. I should have mentioned that I do work in the industry
beforehand.
