From what I know of the EST 2 and 3 family, they are unlike other controls
where you can "evenly distribute" the addressable devices in the system.
The "Signature Loop" depends on "uneven distribution" to properly map
devices. In addition "Signature Devices" are "self addressing", and while
easily replaceable, they depend on a position in the loop for the panel to
properly assign an "address" to them. Do you have the programming software?
Without it, you're not going to be able to properly identify the various
devices in the loop once the panel's successfully mapped them.

I'm not certain how you can get the software (in the US). In Canada (where
I work), EST does all the programming and verification of their products.
Even if you were able to buy the software (or obtain it "through the back
door"), it would be useless because every one of their programmable panels
have the default codes changed before they leave the shop.
 
you need the software and a key for it.
only dealers get them after going to est institute for training.

best bet is to hire an authorized dealer for the hour and be done with
it or pay a tech to do it.
also the program is one way, cant be uploaded from panel so you will
need the original company's programor start over.
good luck.
