Vista20P with Comcast Takeover Bridge
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2018 4:29 pm
I have a Vista20P with 4 wired zones. It is being monitored by Comast with a 'takeover' bridge. Basically, this bridge is something installed next to the panel that connects to the keypad bus terminals and then outputs to the keypads in the house. When I tried to do the workaround to determine the installer code by simultaneously pushing and holding the * and # keys after repowering the system, a fire alarm was triggered. My thought is that because the keypads are actually connected via the comcast bridge, the commands are being intercepted by comcast. Before I wire a keypad directly to the panel and bypass the comcast takeover bridge, I was wondering if anyone has done something like this with Comcast before.
