Ademco wireless system

It's okay, you can say "DMP."

Tell me more. How do you get around that?

I'm still wondering if the engineers were just stupid, or whether they did this on purpose. My best guess is this was meant to protect the integrity of the datalock system, but considering they'll unlock the panel if you send it back, maybe they just wanted to make a fast $40.

Try explaining this to a customer with an Edwards ESA-2000 fire alarm system. The lithium battery is soldered to the CPU board and can't be replaced in the field. When it goes, so does all the panel's programming. It continues to operate in "degraded mode" which means there are trouble lights all over the place. The only way to restore functionality is to have the main CPU module replaced which means Edwards (now GE) has to reprogram the system from scratch... Translation: Big buckeroos...

I do indeed consider Bob a friend. That doesn't men we agree on everything. It means we treat each other with respect and, when opportunity arises, try to help each other out. Bob came down for a brief visit a while back. My wife and I are looking forward to his next visit when (hopefully) he'll bring his wife along and maybe even stay the weekend. Then he can tell you if I've been truthful about my cheeseburgers and such. :^)

Yep.

Same here.

This is something you obviously can't learn by yourself. Logically there is only one way I could have gotten that information. Bosch has already sent letters out to all its employees explaining company policy. If I give out the recipe there might be trouble. Bosch might pull its BCSD for one. Since I have only been trained by a handful of Bosch trainers it wouldn't take much to get back to the "guilty dog" and he would not have a job anymore. Until Bosch gives up their anal witch hunt I'll keep quiet. It is enough to know there is a back door despite official statements to the contrary.

It was a test to see who else knew. :-)

Okay, hypothetically there are 50 codes in the data lock section. In addition to primary and alternate data lock codes there are ones that overwrite codes in the panel and ones that don't (depending on the order they are entered). ID 1: Default Lock Code ID 2: Primary Lock Code ID 3-50: Alternate Lock Codes ID 3-50 can be set : Unaltered Lock Codes

I believe code number 3 and code 50 are the targets to work with. Each code must be set pr>

And the fact that I should know all about this but because of my position can't say anything about it

I find I can't answer people's questions (let alone my cell) when I'm firmly ensconced on the throne either. :-)

I suspect very soon the loquaciousness will disappear into the laconic.

Especially if reading a good technical manual.

MmmmmmmMMMMm I LOVE licorice. But I had no idea it was a laxative.

Thanks! I'll do some experimenting. I do hope the hypothetical lock code is something obvious like 12345; I'd hate to have to run through 64,000 possibilities.
