Vista 20 not dialing out

I am reprogramming an Ademco Vista 20 (not a P or SE). I have not defaulted the control. I have programmed in the phone number, format (7-contact id), account code (0123), placed 10 in the first pair of boxes in the *56 zone programming section for each zone.



Problem: when the system is tripped (Keypad * + #), hard wire zone panic (type 06) or a burg zone, the system does not send a signal. With a telco handset placed on the brown/gray telco pair I get dial tone immediate after tripping the panics (no delay). This means no line seizure. Telco handset on red/green gives me dial tone (no attempt to dial). Of course no signal or call at the CS.



Help?

I have a copy of the manual, dated November, 1995. It references contact id as one of the formats. this is a changeover from another company, who had it programmed for contact id (type 7). i heard no line seizure relay click when panic was tripped, and even if the phone line was backwards (in on brown/gray, etc.) there would be no dial tone on activation. I am concerned that the memory locations might have changed from one version to another.

I looked at various versions using compass and they did not move move features where added with each version only other thing I can think of is you inadvertently deleted primary phone number try reprogramming it.
