.. If it's already on the bench and you solved the customer's problem by re=
placement, just default it and start over. Keep as a spare when you get it =
sorted. Napco can tell you the procedure for a master reset. So can at leas=
t 4 folks here if they are willing to post it. I think you have an area/KP =
conflict. > > > > You have to be able to get into programing in order to de=
fault the panel. I had get into keypad programming with 11123 and the keypa=
d address is ok. Its 01. To default the panel i think the only way is the c=
old start function inside the programming. I dont know if there is a hard w=
ay to reset it.

Do  you have the Napco downloading software?  If so, you may want to hook t=
he panel to a telephone line and try to Upload the program. If you can ... =
then you can analyze the programing and possibly find out what's going on. =
I haven't used a 3200 in a long time but I think you can restart the panel =
from the panel status section in the up/download part of the program.=20

It sounds like  you have a programing conflict. If you use the Check for Er=
rors function in the Tools section when downloading it will tell you if the=
re is a conflict or something you forgot. It's not perfect but it does a pr=
etty good job.  If you program at the keypad, Napco has so many different c=
ombinations of functions and programing options, I would guess that there a=
re some holes in the program that would allow you to program a conflict wit=
h out it giving you a warning. It's better to download panels above 8 or 16=
 zones rather than programing by keypad. =20

Have you tried to use the manager mode to change to another partition? ( * =
+ 1 + Enter or On/Off key) ? ( then try * + 2 + Enter ....   all the way up=
 to maximum partitions. If it lets you do that .... each time you get to a =
new partition, try to get into programming.

Have you tried the default codes that come from the factory?=20

Try holding down key's 1234 all at the same time for a few seconds. This sh=
ould reset the keypad in case there's a hangup there.=20

Did you say that you only have one keypad? Do you have another keypad that =
you can temporarily replace it with?
