- Do a Power Cycle, see https://www.alarmgrid.com/faq/how-do-you-power-cycle-a-honeywell-vista-series-alarm-control-panel
If the keypad shows an alert and it makes a noise, enter the Secret Code / Master Code followed by the number 1 (Off) on the keypad.
When a Honeywell System is used for the first time, its Master Code (also known as the Secret Code) and its Installer Code will be set to default values. For most Honeywell Panels, the default Master Code is 1234, and the default Installer Code is 4112. It is normally recommended that you change the Master Code for security purposes. However, the Installer Code can be left at its default so that the user can get back into programming. Keeping the Installer Code at the default does not present any type of security risk.

- A new device (here:
VRV9517E46665HZN500830311) will show in your WiFi connections overview. This is the WiFi module of your Ademco Alarm System currently powered on and connected to your WiFi router. See Using a WIFI Communicator with a Honeywell Alarm System As the presenter in the video states MAC prefix ofBravo 82 Charlie Alpha 0(ours is indeed: B82CA0D2A7E9) will already have the WiFi module installed. The VISTA 21IP (i.e. our model) has the internet communicator already built in. So if you have a VISTA 21IP, you just connect the ethernet cable to the port on the 21IP and then back to the router. See https://www.alarmgrid.com/total-connect how to connect to the system from a web browser or smartphone using the Total Connect service of AlarmGrid to which we are subscribed. There is also an App for iPhone, iPad, Apple watch etc at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/total-connect-2-0/id439763870?platform=ipad called Total Connect 2. - If you have not connected a Backup Battery to the Control Board, the Keypad(s) will not be activated, as they require power from the Backup Battery, instead of the mains.
