Dear Jim, i have downloaded the panel and after that i made a cold
start from the keypad. everything was ok, it have been defaulted and
then i download the programming as i took it before cold start from
the panel with upload. Then this msg came up! After that i cannot dl
it again. The panel refuse to answer even by remote with phone lines
even with pci mini. With pci mini i get the msg of connection error,
retry... etc...
I will rty manager mode as you told me and the other tip with 1234 and
also a new keypad...
Default codes i used eith no success was 123 and 1234
