Napco Gemini P3200 is stupid

Well that's no problem. Have you selected the "Automatic Interior Bypass" function in the program? Do that and assign the appropriate zones to Interior 1 and all will function as desired.

It can be done but you should probably avoid address programming on that panel. That has nothing to do with you being a DIYer. I make a living supporting DIYers and I teach them to do all kinds of things paid installers say they can't possibly do. However, most installers don't do address programming on Napco Gemini series panels because there's way too much to jiminex up.

I told you in a prior post how to accomplish what you want using the software.

Why? It would take 1 minute to do the fixes by keypad programming and 10-15 minutes to do it via downloading. If I was programming the entire panel I'd do it by downloading but for 2 or 3 locations? Pfft, you'd be lost if your modem ever broke

Completely false and I find it odd someone knows so much about a panel yet can't do one of its basic functions, Napco includes 2 program manuals just for that purpose

I don't even consider operating downloading software unless I know how to keypad program the panel first

Which begs the question... How do you do this when you:

a/ don't answer your phone; b/ don't put paper in your fax machine; c/ don't answer your email; d/ there is no "d". This is only a figment of your imagination (much like your "stellar" customer service)...

You're the one who is embarrassing yourself.

This guy may just be Paulies cousin.... Definitly has an attitude problem... Bad enough that I had no desire to spend my time helping him...

Compared to some here he's a peach. :^)

That's OK. I don't mind helping him anyway. It costs nothing to be nice.

Thanks for nothin'. How many times must I say that "Interior 1 Bypass" is not relevent in this situation? I found what to do, mostly due to looking up address 2420 (not 2421) on page 14 and flipping through the screens on the PC loader software until I found it. By-Feature --> Options --> Auto Interior Bypass/Easy Arm Requires Interior Normally Bypassed to be turned on, however.

OK, I tried to help. Best of luck.

You know I was going to say that myself but decided to hold back

You never stated your technical knowledge level nor did you indicate possession of the software. The answer was appropriate without knowing those details.

Yup I guess that means the panel is stupid even though we've all got it working, now as far as all the other stuff you've screwed up because you didn't bother reading the manual ....
