Two Way ? Prove It.

I need some irrefutable proof from the experts on this one since a local electronics boffin appears to doubt the integrity of the term 'two way' when related to wireless  detection. The claim, basically, is that the panel does not 'talk to' detectors,  but rather it interrogates it's own received signals from detectors, but does not  actually interrogate the detectors themselves only the received signals.

Why would detectors have a transceiver then.

Originally said by Charles Babbage
On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

On most panels I know, why do the leds only light up in walk test? This alone is proof that the detectors have received an instruction from the panel.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

One Way => The detection device blasts it's message out several times and hopes it is received by the panel.

 

Two Way => The detection device and the control panel can communicate and receive messages in both directions, acknowledging them.

On most panels I know, why do the leds only light up in walk test? This alone is proof that the detectors have received an instruction from the panel.

I don't get that?

Walk test proves detector sending signal not receiving

Of course you also have scanny where the ion (and homelink) panels are 2 way capable but they couldn't be bothered to make anything but the keypad and one fob take advantage of it...

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
