 This is the server used to download handlers to the Radionics d5200 progra=
mmer from the phone line. If you end up needing a handler for the programme=
r when working on a super old panel, this might just be what you're looking=
 for.=20

lp files, choose "NO", the help files were never implemented to my knowledg=
e and haven't been included with any handler I have ever used.=20

 since it takes literal hours to transfer then verify them, but they will a=
ll be available on my server soon. The telephone number for the server is +=
1(304)451-7092, do keep in mind I haven't been able to test this anywhere o=
ffsite, so if it doesn't work, just shoot me a message here and I'll look i=
nto it. It wouldn't surprise me if this suffers from the terrible quality o=
f VoIP lines nowadays.=20

 even if its not listed. Go to the UPDATE option in the menu, enter "7212B =
" as the handler name, "NO" for include help, and "13044517092" for the pho=
ne number. Select "Telco -> A", connect the programmer to a phone line, and=
 hit enter. The programmer should dial out to the server and pull the new h=
andler.=20

Thanks Keith

I downloaded the handler from the server over the weekend and got right int=
o the 7212 that i need to program.
Thanks so much!
