CELLCOMEX SERIES HOW-TO GUIDE: ECP PASSTHRU | DIGITAL MONITORING PRODUCTS 1
ECP PASSTHRU OVERVIEW
CellComEX Universal Communicators enable you to take over and manage ECP panels with connection to
the ECP Bus. This feature is called ECP Passthru.
This guide is designed to walk you through ECP passthru installation and setup. For more complete
information on CellComEX setup, refer to the CellComEX Installation and Programming Guide (LT-2663).
Procedure
The installation must follow this procedure:
Step 1: Mount the communicator.
Step 2: Wire the communicator.
Step 3: Program Vista keypad device address 20
Step 4: Configure ECP settings (remotely or locally)
Step 5: Changing Programming
Required Materials
The following software and hardware components are required to ensure successful system takeovers:
• Compatible Honeywell VISTA panel (refer to “VISTA Panel Compatibility”)
• Connection to Dealer Admin (for programming)
• 18-22 AWG unshielded wire (RYGB)
• Remote Link minimum Version 2.21

STEP 1: MOUNT THE COMMUNICATOR
The module comes in a high-impact plastic housing that you can mount directly to a wall, backboard, or
other flat surface.
For easy installation, the back and ends of the CellComEX housing have wire entrances. The back also
contains multiple mounting holes that allow you to mount the module on a single-gang switch box.
Remove the PCB from the plastic housing by loosening the clips on one side and gently lifting it out of the
housing base.
Insert the included screws in the desired mounting hole locations and tighten them to secure the housing to
the surface.
Reinstall the PCB in the housing base.
STEP 2: WIRE THE COMMUNICATOR
The communicator can be connected to the ECP Bus of a VISTA panel. See Table 1 and Figure 2 for the
necessary wiring connections.
Caution: Remove all AC and battery power from the control panel before wiring.
1. Attach the antenna to the SMA connector. Refer to Figure 1.
2. Make sure the Vista panel has batteries connected to the system and is also connected to an appropriate
power supply.
3. Connect the communicator to Dealer Admin or Remote Link.

STEP 3: PROGRAM THE VISTA KEYPAD
In this step, you will program VISTA Keypad 5 Device Address 20. This enables the VISTA panel to
communicate with a CellComEX. This step must be performed locally at the VISTA panel.
1. Power down and then power up the VISTA panel.
2. Within 1 minute of powering up the VISTA panel, simultaneously press and hold the #and *buttons on
the Vista keypad.
3. The keypad displays INSTALLER CODE. Enter the installer code (default is 4112), followed by 800.
4. Enter *193, then enter 1 0.
5. To save and exit programming, enter *99.

CELLCOMEX SERIES HOW-TO GUIDE: ECP PASSTHRU | DIGITAL MONITORING PRODUCTS 4
STEP 4: CONFIGURE ECP SETTINGS
For the communicator to properly process data from the VISTA panel, keypad input must be set to ECP. You
can perform this programming remotely with Dealer Admin.
Why is this important? Dealer Admin configures the CellComEX to receive ECP data.
Remotely (Dealer Admin)
Before programming, ensure the ECP panel’s IP address is set as default.
1. Go to Customers.
2. Find and select the system name.
3. Go to Programming > System Options.
4. In Keypad Input, select ECP.
5. In ECP Partition, enter the number of the partition where you want the communicator to operate.
6. Press Begin ECP Setup.
7. If the host panel is a VISTA 128, turn on VISTA 128.
8. Enter the host panel’s installer code in VISTA Installer Code.
9. Press Begin.
10. After setup is complete, Dealer Admin automatically retrieves zones from the host panel. If you need to
retrieve zones again later, open System Options and select Get Zones.
Adding User 2
1. At USER NUMBER, enter 2.
2. At CODE NO, enter the code from the Vista panel’s User 2.
3. At USER NAME, enter MASTER.
4. At MASTER? select the checkbox.
5. Press Send.

STEP 5: CHANGING PROGRAMMING
Option 1: Programming with Host Keypad
If you have access to the host panel, you can make zone programming changes in the panel locally using
a host keypad. To retrieve new zone programming, select Get Zones in the System Options tab in Dealer
Admin.
Option 2: Programming using Compass and Remote Link
Starting with Remote Link™ Version 2.21, you can connect a customer’s Honeywell VISTA® panel with
CellComEX communicators using Honeywell’s Compass® software and Remote Link.
Why is this important? Remote Link is necessary if programming using Compass. It provides a link
between the CellComEX and the host panel. Without doing this, no new programming (zones, devices, etc.)
can be sent to or retrieved from the host panel.
The following instructions assume that you already have the CellComEX added with the appropriate
connection information in Remote Link. To enable ECP Passthru for that account, complete the following
steps.
1. Right-click Remote Link and select Run as administrator.
2. Double-click the communicator account to open it.
3. Go to Program > System Options.
4. To enable communication, go to Keypad input and select ECP. Press OK.
5. Go to File > Panel Information.
6. In Connection Information, enter the VISTA account number in Ecp Acct.
7. Press OK.
8. Go to ECP Passthru > ECP Start/Stop Server.
9. Press Ye s when asked if ECP Passthru should be started.
10. Minimize Remote Link.

REFERENCE
Virtual Keypad
Virtual Keypad enables users to manage their systems remotely, including arming, disarming, viewing zone
status, bypassing zones, viewing history, managing users, and more.
To use Virtual Keypad for remote management, the configuration must meet the following conditions:
• ECP Panels must be programmed as Stay/Away for remote arming and disarming (No Partitions).
• User 2 in the CellComEX must match user 2 in the Vista panel and be used when logging into Virtual
Keypad to remotely manage the Vista panel.
