The largest possible zone number is 255. Only Cybercat panels support this
number of zones. Legacy panels support up to zone 239. Very old panels that
can only send message #6 can only report information for 127 panels.
If you are connected to a Cybercat panel and you get the FYI message you can
ignore it. If you are connected to some other panel and you get either the Err or
FYI message then you will need to correct the CSV file.
