General Information
The Vista-120 supports the capability to interact with the Ademco PassPoint Access Control
System, (PassPoint ACS). The Vista-120 processes fire, burglary, arm, disarm information,
etc. The PassPoint ACS processes card reader information and controls the locking and
unlocking of doors. The sharing of information between the two systems is provided by the
Vista Gateway Module, (VGM).
The VGM is connected between the ECP bus (keypad terminals) of the control and the
network bus of the PassPoint ACS, (see figure 14-1). The control sends the VGM its status
information, event log entries and entry/exit requests, (inputs programmed with response
type Access Point), from wired/wireless keypads, wired zones, and RF transmitters. The
VGM then, reformats and retransmits this information to the Main Logic Board, (MLB) on
the PassPoint ACS network bus.
The Vista-120 can control access points on the PassPoint ACS.
The PassPoint ACS can control on the Vista-120:
• Relays
• Arming/Disarming Schedules
• Keypad Display
• Time/Date Synchronisation of the Two Systems
See the documentation included with the PassPoint ACS for details.
The PassPoint ACS can dedicate some of its inputs for use as regular Vista-120 wired zones,
(zone response type ACS). The PassPoint ACS can also utilise the Vista-120 dialler for
reports to the central station.
Access Control of an Entry/Exit Point
The control can send entry and exit requests to the PassPoint ACS utilising keypads, wired
zones, and RF transmitters. A zone is programmed with a response type 27, (Access Point)
and an appropriate input type, (wired/wireless keypad, wired zone, RF zone).
Using the Alpha Keypad
There are three entries that can be entered at the keypad to provide access to a door.
• Code + #73 (unlocks door for time programmed in ACS software)
• Code + #74 (prompts for specific point to be unlocked)
• Code + #75 (prompts for specific point and desired function)
This entry requires the VGM and the PassPoint ACS. The functions available are Grant,
Protect or Bypass. Grant temporarily unlocks a door to force an access. Protect unlocks
the door only when a valid access is received. Bypass permanently unlocks the door to
allow continuous access.
