To upload or connect to a Gemini GEM-P3200, GEM-P9600 or GEM-X255 control panel with PCD-Manager software, you must first program the "Master Security Code" into the PCD-Manager's control panel account.

2. In the Dealer Password popup (shown below), type the dealer password "Napco".
Note: This screen will disappear after you click OK (this is normal).
3. Click File > Edit Account.
