2.3 Directly connection modem to panel with specialty cable If you are up for some tinkering you can make a capacitive coupling cable below which will allow you to use a lot more of the Hayes Smartmodem products.

Some of these modems are not listed as a choice in the modem setup in the compass software so first install the software and go through the list of modems before buying one. You can find a list of modems Honeywell says works with the compass software in the supported modem document. The modem needs to support the old Bell 103 communication format. The connection to the panel is made at 300 baud and is very finicky with carrier detection so newer “high speed” modems just don’t have good backwards capabilities down to those speeds. These panels are extremely picky on which modems they will talk to so you are more than likely going to have to buy an old Hayes SmartModem on Ebay. The only supported connection methods for the Honeywell Compass software on many of Honeywell \ Ademco \ ADT \ First Alert \ FBII panels is through the phone connection which requires a modem.

Here is the core things you need to download to your security alarm panel It would be great if the security boards had a RS-232 port, an adapter to program through the ECP bus, or a way to program locally (without alarm-net) through the on-board Ethernet port on the Vista-21iP model but these panels have been around for decades and are going no where fast. The setup to program these panels through the Honeywell Compass software is bulky and a bit of a mess as it requires far obsolete technology such as dial-up modems. I needed to use the Honeywell Compass software because I need to use 3 custom zone types and you can only program 2 from the keypad on my panel model.

This software is designed and intended for professional alarm installers, it is not suppose to be for general public or DYI use. Let me start by stating you really should not go down the path of trying to program a security panel with the Honeywell Compass software unless there is a specific need as you will spend more time setting up and getting the software working than programming the panel through the keypad.
