Hi Rocky,

 From Default programming I just added the Name, Code and Partition 1 for
each user.  This is not my first DSC Neo, but is the first for Auto Arm.
Personally I find the DSC Neo a HUGE PITA.  I can affirm that it was NOT
designed for the Installer!!!

Such as the 5 straight pins for connecting the PCLink to the board.
Always have to remember it's is the left 4 pins and the Connector needs
to be UP.  I marked my cable with UP to help me get it right.  Then I
just found out that in order to get a signal to the C/S for a completed
Download or Programming I had to turn on (308)(312)-4 DLS Lead Out.

First off why would the label be "Lead Out" What does that mean??
Then it sends a Contact ID code of both 627 and 628??

627 Program mode entry
628 Program mode exit

As opposed to "412 Successful download/access"

Well that is just a few of my Pet Peeves on the DSC Neo system.

I typed the above to inform all that read this of things you may not
have known before and hopefully helped your knowledge level.

Have a good day!!
