Omni 2e Wireless Zones &Transmitters

I currently have a GE concord wireless security system, 36 wireless transmitters, 1 wired smoke, 3 wired doors (plunger type) and I want to migrate from the Concord system over to my Omni 2e.  I have the HAI/GE Reciever (42A00-2) which supports 64 wireless transmitters in 16 Zones. 
 
My question is, after registering the transmitters with the receiver does the Omni have the ability to identify not only the Zone that was tripped but also the individual transmitter within the zone.  For example, if Zone 33 has tripped, can the Omni indicate which of the possible 4 transmitters (1, 17, 33, or 49) actually tripped?  Or am I limited to simply knowing which of the 16 Zones tripped and then I have to climb into the attic to look at the display on the 42A00-2 receiver to see wich transmitter tripped?  Perhaps there is a programatic/scripting solution?
 
Thanks in advance !
 
The wireless receivers are like zone expanders.  They will report on what zone was violated.  Your hard wired zones will report independently of the wireles zones.  One can also identify the zone at the keypad.  I hope this was the question you were asking.  Don't try to put more than one wireless device on a wireless receiver zone.  
 
Forgot to add I think the IIe is limited to 48 zones, just don't go over that either.  Thats hardwired and wireless combined. 
 
The multiple receiver per zone capability of the GE receiver is designed for cases where the individual transmitter doesn't matter.  For example if you have 3 separate windows in a room, you may use three transmitters, but the zone would be the room.  Usually its obvious which transmitter has tripped. Also keyfobs are a good use. You might have multiple keyfobs and exactly which is pressed is not really important.
