A Successful Transmission
When a control panel calls the central station receiver, it waits to hear a "handshake"
frequency from the receiver to confirm that the receiver is on-line and ready to receive the
message. Once the panel hears the handshake it is programmed to listen for, it sends its
message. The panel then waits for a "kissoff" frequency from the receiver acknowledging
that the message was received and understood.
If an error occurs in the transmission and the receiver does not receive a "valid" message,
the central station receiver does not transmit the kissoff frequency.
The panel will make a specified number of attempts to the primary telephone number, and a
specified number of attempts to the secondary telephone number (if one has been
programmed), to get a valid message through. The number of attempts that are made to
each number is determined by the programming of field 3*21. If the panel is not successful
after its numerous attempts, the keypad will display "COMM. FAILURE."
Reporting Formats
The following chart defines the three sets of handshake/kissoff frequencies the panel
supports, and the different formats that can be sent for each.

Contact ID
ADVISORY: ADEMCO's Contact ID reporting format is capable of reporting all 87 zones of
information, as well as openings and closings for all 128 users, to central stations equipped
with the ADEMCO 685 Receiver using software level 4.4 or higher. Software levels below
4.4 cannot support Contact ID reporting. In addition, the ADEMCO 685 Receiver must be
level 4.7 or higher to fully support all new VISTA-100 report codes. If you need to update
your 685 receiver, contact your distributor.
