Data Sheet

The control panel provides flexible communications for
most central stations with reporting capabilities such
as:
• Individual point numbers
• Opening or closing reports by user and area number
• Remote programming attempts
• Diagnostic reports
IP communication
The control panel can use on-board Ethernet (IP)
connection (the on-board Ethernet port is excluded on
“E” versions) to communicate with a Conettix D6600
or a Conettix D6100IPv6 Communications Receiver/
Gateway.
The control panel can optionally use a B426 Conettix
Ethernet Communication Module or a Conettix Plug-in
Cellular Communicator (B440/B441/B442/B443).
Using Conettix IP communication offers a secure path
that includes anti-replay/anti-substitution features and
provides enhanced security with AES 256-bit
encryption (using Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)).
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 easy, eliminating the need to use complicated
internet programming tools such as ARP and Telnet.
The control panel supports both IPv6 and IPv4
networks.
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 text messages and emails
for personal notification over Ethernet or using a
cellular communicator. You can configure up to 16
destinations using a combination of cellular phone
numbers and email addresses. The control panel sends
notifications in the user’s programmed primary
language.
Firmware updates
The system allows remote firmware updates through
Remote Programming Software (RPS) using the RPS
Firmware Update Wizard. The Firmware Update Wizard
uses the on-board USB connection or the on-board
Ethernet (IP) connection (the on-board Ethernet port
is excluded on “E” versions) to transmit firmware
updates.
The control panel can optionally receive firmware
updates from RPS using a B426 Conettix Ethernet
Communication Module or a Conettix Plug-in Cellular
Communicator (B440/B441/B442/B443). Notice!
Cellular firmware updates require more time than
Ethernet updates and carrier data rates apply.
• Control panel updates. Remotely update the control
panel firmware for easy feature enhancements
without replacing ROM chips.
• Module update support. Remotely update the
firmware on connected SDI2 modules for easy feature
enhancements without visiting each individual
module.
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 hardwired and wireless devices.
Security and fire detection
The control panel provides 8 on-board points, and up
to 8 additional wireless points. You can program
individual points to monitor burglar alarms, fire
alarms, and supervision devices.
Event log
The event log stores local and reported events. The
event log includes information such as time, date,
event, area, point, and user. View the event log from a
keypad or use RPS to remotely retrieve event
information. When the event log reaches a
programmed threshold of stored events, it can send an
optional report to a receiver.
The log stores up to 127 local and reported events.
Scheduled events (SKEDs)
The internal clock and calendar start a scheduled
event (SKED). A SKED performs functions such as turn
on or off, relay control, or point bypassing.
• One scheduled event 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 diagnostics features allow
you to view the status of the wired and wireless
devices. 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.
