Hi Doug,
I don't remember if we talked about the CSI-32 tone panel. But here's one of my www.radiowrench.com/sonic web page descriptions for the two or three manual/information downloads I make available for free. http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic/so02010.html There are two or three back door reset methods depending on which csi-32 model you have. The method you use depends mostly on the controllers internal NVRam Chip(s). There are tricks and train wrecks depending on what you have in place. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com > "n3dab" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Many months ago I asked the group about a back door method for the > CSI-32 multi-tone controller panelto enter the progamming mode, as I > had a friend with a CSI-32 in which the access code was reprogammed > and the new code had been lost or forgotten.
