I have customer with a DSC pc1555 Power 632 panel in his house he wants me
to monitor after installing a system in his business. I was hoping to
connect over the phone line using software because the installer code is
unknown.but he has voice mail so I couldn't. Can I do a direct connect with
my laptop using the MD 12 modem? or do I need the PC link which I assume
wouldn't help me as I don't know the inst code.?
Any way around an unknown installer code for this panel?
TIA

RHC: Simplest thing is to simply default back to factory and it will
come back with all settings at factory with an installer code either
1555 or 5555. This way, all the previous alarmco settings are wiped
out ensuring that things such as callback are no longer functional.

This won't work of course if some scumbag has locked the board. Then
you will have to ship it off to have it defaulted (see Jim Rojas at
www.tech-man.com for US locations) or buy another board.

so if I power it down and then up the relay click thing will tell me if it
is locked out? if so will this mess anything up?

RHC: No, simply powering it down and back up will do no harm (you will
only lose the current clock settings but that is normal...*2...8
trouble light on). The only harm you will do is if you attempt to
default when the board is definately locked (clicks on power up). The
panel will default all settings EXCEPT the installers code, so now
you will have a non functioning board for any use.
