certain times. Programmable primary and secondary
language by user and keypad; select from English,
Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
Communication formats
The control panel prioritizes and sends reports to four
route groups. Network and phone communications can
use one of two communication formats: Modem4,
Contact ID. Each group has a programmable primary
and backup destination.
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 IP to communicate with a
Conettix D6600 or a Conettix D6100IPv6
Communications Receiver/Gateway. Use one of the
following for IP:
• The on-board Ethernet connection (the on-board
Ethernet port is excluded on “E” versions).
• A B426.
• A plug-in cellular communicator (B440/B440-C/B441/
B441-C/B442/B443/B444).
Conettix IP communication provides a secure path that
includes anti-replay/anti-substitution features, and
enhanced security with up to 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. 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.
Bosch Remote Connect (Cloud)
Remote Connect simplifies connections from RPS, and
the Remote Security Control app, using Bosch Cloud
services. This service creates a secure connection to
the control panel without specific router settings or
the need for a static IP address or DNS.
Notice
The Bosch Remote Connect service is not
available in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa.
Firmware updates
The system allows remote firmware updates:
• 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.
Firmware updates occur through Remote Programming
Software (RPS) and 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 transfer firmware updates.
The control panel can optionally receive firmware
updates from RPS. Use one of the following
communication methods:
• B426
• Plug-in cellular communicator: B440/B440-C/B441/
B441-C/B442/B443/B444
Notice
Data rate apply
Cellular firmware updates require more time than
Ethernet updates and carrier data rates apply.
A wide variety of input options
Each point:
• Single 1 kΩ, single 2 kΩ, dual 1 kΩ (1 kΩ + 1 kΩ), and
No EOL (end-of-line) (EOL) resistor options (for on-
board and B208 inputs)
• Programmable for Fire, Intrusion, Gas, and
Supervisory devices
• Supports hardwired and wireless devices
• Supports IP cameras by Bosch as point and output
devices
IP camera support
The control panel can integrate directly with Bosch IP
cameras, using them as fully supervised points and
outputs.
Integration of cameras allows the camera’s video
motion detection to activate points on the control
panel. The control panel’s virtual outputs can be
configured to trigger camera actions, including
sending video snapshots via email.
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.
