You haven't lived until you have the chance to link a Napco panel with a
Continental Panel.

Discovered something else.... In order to setup an "account" in the
NL-Config software the easiest thing to do is plug in the NL-Mod to the
netowork. Plug in our laptop to the network. Using the temporary account
discover the NL-Mod as DHCP, unselect DHCP, set the IP address, subnet, and
gateway, save as, and then download the NL-Mod. If you do it exactly that
way it works pretty good. If you try and create a new account first it
never seems to work.

Using a crossover cable is more of a pain than its worth as you would have
to modify and then un-modify TCP/IP settings associated with your NIC every
single time. That is not something I would want to teach the average
installer.

Also, a lot of the Napco tech guys don't really seem to understand the
NL-Mod and network configuration, although I never actually got to speak
with the "Netlink guy" when I called.
