Which Version of Honeywell Vista 20P works with EVL-3

[kaltha15]

I have Vista 20P with V 7.0 installed right now with First alert Front panel of 168C I am thinking of installing EVL3 for internet control, I do not have a modem close to it so I am thinking to use internet bridge port for access, now if I buy EVL 3 will it work with my version?

Also what steps do I need to follow in order to install and what do I need from my service provider like master code or something?

I have already bought the equipment from them and its mine, its not rented and I am out of contract.

I failed to connect EVL-3 to a wireless bridge. Did not do a lot of research to resolve the problem because it was not very hard for me to run a CAT5 wire through attic.

[kaltha15]

is your panel on the different floor and your router on another floor?

[billyrusa]

The panel is on first floor and router is on second floor. Fortunately, there is a empty space between the attic and first floor so that I could drop the wire from the attic to the panel.
I tried wireless bridge. Even I could verify the bridge was working by connecting a laptop at the end, the EVL-3 could not work with the bridge.

Thanks for the info; now what is the Version of your Vista 20P Chip?

[billyrusa]

My Vista 20P panel has the latest firmware, version 9.12.

So if I want to use EVL-3 I am hearing that I need to have Vista 20P with Version 9.XX not sure if that is correct?

[billyrusa]

Not exactly. I am sure Vista 20P with earlier versions of firmware can also work with EVL-3. However, there might be a problem to connect EVL-3 to a wireless bridge even with the latest version firmware.
