I have the honeywell vista 20p system with three panels. I've been reading through the programming guide but I havent found a way to determine what id is assigned to each keypad. My concern is that the keypad id may already be in use. Any assistance would be great.

Most keypads will tell you the address by pressing [1] and [3]

Some will go into a different mode to program the internal RF5800 receiver and allow the address to be set for both they keypad and the radio.

Messages can be decoded and will help see what addresses are enabled but they wont tell you if the keypad is actually connected. You can enable a keypad at a given address and the panel will send messages to it even if the keypad is not connected.

Another feature that "may" help is the

If you enable this config bit you can press a key on any keypad it the console of your AD2* Device will spit out a message about the address of the device. It will be noisy for AUI keypads as you will see from my sample but maybe it will help someone.
