IP communications
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.
Notice!
For premises equipment used in the communication path, such as routers, use only UL listed
equipment.
On-board Ethernet connection
The built-in Ethernet port on the control panels allows for a network connection without the
need for additional modules. The port supports both 10 Base-T (10 Mb) and 100 Base-TX (100
Mb) standards. The port supports full duplex, half duplex, and HP AUTO_MDIX communication,
using a standard Ethernet cable. Optionally use this connection for central station reporting,
automation, and programming.
Supervision
The control panel supervises its on-board Ethernet connection when the control panel uses
the on-board Ethernet in any of the four route groups as part of either the primary route or the
backup route, or when the control panel uses the connection as the automation device.
Supervision ensures reliable operation of the Ethernet port.
If supervised and the on-board Ethernet does not respond to control panel supervision polls,
then a system fault message appears at the keypads.
Local RPS programming
Use the on-board Ethernet connection to locally connect with RPS. This connection method
requires a direct IP connection from the RPS computer to the on-board Ethernet port.
Connecting the control panel to RPS using IP Direct:
1. If the control panel does not use the Ethernet for IP communication, perform Steps 2 and
3. If the control panel does use the Ethernet for IP communication, power down the
control panel and remove the Ethernet cable that connects the control panel to the
network.
2. Connect the control panel to the RPS computer using the Ethernet ports and a standard
Ethernet cable, and apply power to the control panel, if applicable. Within 2 minutes, the
RPS computer assigns an IP address using AutoIP.
