Tims tool...ah a cool piece of software... I don't think it's actually called that...buy I have seen people refer to it as that.

You can, but that doesnt mean you should, there could be all sort's of easter eggs hidden in the incumbents programming just waiting to bite you in the ass. From rogue user codes to zones put on double knock or areas that are not part of the main system. If your not programming it yourself how do you know that its programmed as it should be 

circuits on soak, spared off, double knock, options enabled that dont comply a keyswitch zone somewhere etc etc

Hi,

 

It's a 520.  Our Engineer code is in, and we know the MGR code. Unsure about user codes, thats another reason I'd like RSS access.

I didn't do the panel take over, I was there as a revisit to service it...I just like to get backups when I can...nobody else in our company uses the RSS software or can be bothered...I just like to because I can, well usually can. Haha

So what's rss telling you when you hit enter?

 

And by now I assume you have bought spi key right ?

Hi, yes I can access the Galaxy tool.  I've created a site. Upon trying to Dial the panel it requests a password as normal, but 'blank password' doesn't work as normal, nor does anything I found on site that may have been a password.

RE: Tims Tool... It's freely available on one of the Security Facebook group pages (Fire & Security Network UK) in the files section.  I think it's actually called Galaxy Reset Codes tool.
