Specifications

IP communication
The control panel uses the on-board Ethernet
connector, B440 Conettix Plug-in Cellular
Communicator, or B426 Conettix Ethernet
Communication Module to communicate with Conettix
D6600 and Conettix D6100IPv6 Communications
Receiver/Gateways. Using Conettix IP communication
offers a secure path that includes anti-replay/anti-
substitution features and provides enhanced security
with encryption*. You can use the Ethernet connection
for remote programming.
The control panel supports Domain Name System
(DNS) for both remote programming and central
station communication. DNS provides ease of use,
eliminating the need to use static IP addresses as your
reporting destination, and accommodates a simple
solution for central station disaster recovery. IP Setup
is available via the keypad Installer menu and the
remote programming software, eliminating the need to
use complicated internet programming tools such as
ARP and Telnet. The control panel supports both IPv6
and IPv4 networks.
For more information on the enhanced
communications capabilities, refer to RPS Help or the
Control Panels (B5512/B4512) Program Entry Guide
(P/N: F01U265465).
Communication paths
The control panel accommodates up to four separate
phone and four separate network paths to the central
station receiver. When resetting alarms or turning a
system on and off, the user is identified by name and
number.
Personal notification
The control panel can send and receive SMS messages
for personal notification or system configuration when
using a cellular plug-in communicator. You can
configure up to 16 cellular phone numbers to receive
SMS messages from the control panel.
Firmware updates
Remote firmware updates through Remote
Programming Software (RPS) using the RPS Firmware
Update Wizard through the IP connection (on-board
Ethernet connection, B426 Conettix Ethernet
Communication Module, or B440 Conettix Plug-in
Cellular Communicator), provides for easy feature
enhancements without replacing ROM chips.
A wide variety of input options
Each point:
• Accommodates normally‑open (NO) and
normally‑closed (NC) devices with end‑of‑line (EOL)
resistor supervision.
• Accepts programming for fire, gas, fire supervisory, or
intrusion applications.
• Supports hard-wired or wireless devices.
Security and fire detection
The control panel provides eight on-board points, and
up to 20 additional off-board points (depending on
model and expansion interfaces). You can program
individual points to monitor some types of burglar
alarms, fire alarms, and supervision devices.
Event log
The event log stores up to 127 local and transmitted
events. The event log includes time, date, event, area,
point, and user number. View the event log from a
keypad or use RPS to remotely retrieve event
information. RPS operators can retrieve events
periodically using one phone call, rather than receiving
several calls each day. When the event log reaches a
programmed threshold of stored events, it can send an
optional report to a receiver.
Scheduled events (SKEDs)
The internal clock and calendar start individually
scheduled events (SKEDs). SKEDs perform functions
such as turn on or off, relay control, or point
bypassing.
The control panel offers:
• Five scheduled events with up to 25 different
functions
• Two opening windows and two closing windows
• Two user windows
• Day-of-week, date-of-month, or holiday only schedules
• One holiday schedule of 366 days (leap year)
Programming
Installers can perform limited programming on-site
with a keypad (critical parameters; such as account
IDs, central station and RPS IP addresses and phone
numbers, reporting formats, and more).They can also
do full programming on-site or remotely (attended or
unattended) with RPS. A programmable system
passcode prevents unauthorized remote programming.
Diagnostics
Keypads and RPS offer diagnostic help for monitoring
and troubleshooting. The Diagnostic features allow
you to view the status of the on-board Ethernet
connection, plug-in communicators, and SDI2 devices,
including inputs, outputs, and RF. The features provide
the status of the control panel and its connected
devices, such as firmware version, power, and missing
conditions. View the status of each area. Diagnostics
also include connection data for connected wireless
and Ethernet devices.
