In this video Jorge shows you how to find the IMEI Number on a 2GIG Edge Security System. This may also be referred to as the panel's Serial Number. You will need this piece of information when you go to activate the system for alarm monitoring service. Specifically, you will provide the IMEI Number to your monitoring provider during the system's activation process. The IMEI Number is more specifically tied to the 2GIG Edge Panel's internal LTE cellular communicator
Every 2GIG Edge Alarm System has an LTE cellular communicator built inside. In order to activate the Edge System and its integrated cellular communicator for monitoring service, you will be required to provide the associated IMEI Number, or Serial Number, to your alarm monitoring provider. Remember that the system's associated monitoring platform, Alarm.com, requires that every system using its service has an active cellular communication path set up. Every though the 2GIG Edge also has an integrated WIFI card, setting up WIFI is technically optional, while setting up the cellular communication path is essentially required. Of course, most users will just simply set up both WIFI and cellular, as most users have a WIFI network readily available, and it doesn't really cost extra to set up WIFI.
However, when you are referring to the IMEI Number, you are strictly referring to the cellular communication pathway for the 2GIG Edge System. And it's not just the 2GIG Edge actually. Any device that uses cellular connectivity, whether it is an alarm system, a cell phone, or even something else entirely like a cellular asset tracking device, it will have an IMEI number. If you really want to get specific, an IMEI Number is sort of an identifier for a cellular communication device. It just so happens that this information is needed when you go to activate for monitoring service.

![VISTA 128BPT: Programming a Wireless Zone
In this video Griffin from Alarm Grid shows the user how to program a wireless receiver and then a wireless zone into a VISTA-128BPT panel. The steps to program a VISTA-250BPT are exactly the same. Resideo and Alarm Grid recommend using address 07 for your first RF receiver. The VISTA-128BPT can support up to two (2) receivers per system.
To address a 5881-style receiver to address 07, set dip switches 2, 3, and 4 to ON. Connect the receiver to the panels keypad bus. Enter programming (Installer Code + 8 + 000, default code is 4140) and press [#] or [*] + 93 to enter menu-driven programming. You will be prompted with several options before you reach Device Programming. Press 0 for No on each of these options. At Device Programming? Press 1 for Yes. When prompted for the device address, enter 07 and press [*].
At device type, enter 03 for RF Receiver and press [*]. At RF House Code, if you arent using any bi-directional devices such as the 5828, 5828V, or 5804BD, or 5804BDV, then you can leave this setting at 00 and press [*]. If you are using bi-directional devices, just be sure the House ID entered here matches the House ID you program into your other devices. Press [*] and you will be back at Enter Device. Press [00] [*] and at the Quit Menu Mode? prompt, press [1] + [*].
Press [#] or[*] + 93 again and this time at the Zone Programming prompt, enter 1 for Yes. Enter the zone number you wish to program then press [*]. A little-known fact is that you can program any zone as a wireless zone, even zone numbers 1 - 9. The only zone you cant program as a wireless zone is zone number 64. This is reserved for low battery supervision for wireless keypads. To move through the prompts, press [*] to move forward. If you need to return to the previous prompt, press [#]. Program the zone based on your needs, following the information shown in the video. There are a lot of options in zone programming, and some of them are only shown if you program certain prerequisites first. For that reason, we wont go into all the details here. When in doubt, refer to the FAQ linked below or the Program Guide for the VISTA-128BPT.
After you view the final summary screen, at the end of the programming for your zone, press [*] and you will be back at the Enter Zone Number prompt. If you are finished with zone programming, enter [000] + [*] and you will shown the Quit Menu Mode? prompt. Press [1] and youll be back in regular non-menu programming. Press [*] + 99 to exit programming. Be sure to test any new zones youve programmed.
