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 its 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.
Once the handshake frequency is received and understood by the panel, the
panel will send its message. If there is an error in the transmission (the
receiver does not receive a "valid" message), the kissoff frequency will not be
given by the central station receiver.
The panel will make a number of attempts to the primary telephone number
and a number of attempts to the secondary telephone number (if
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."
The following chart defines the three sets of (handshake/kissoff) frequencies
that the panel supports and the different formats that can be sent for each.

ADVISORY: Ademco's Contact ID reporting is capable of uniquely 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. Must be level 4.7 or higher to fully support all
new VISTA-100 report codes. 685 software levels below 4.4 cannot support
Contact ID reporting. If you need to update your 685 receiver, contact your
distributor.
