1 | Overview
The B426 Ethernet Communication Module is a four-wire powered SDI,
SDI2, or option bus device that provides two-way communication with
compatible control panels over IPv4 or IPv6 Ethernet networks.
The B426 on-board switch determines the bus address of the device.
Confi guration of the B426 is performed through the B426 confi guration
web pages. On SDI2 control panels, confi guration can also be done on
the keypad or through Remote Programming Software (RPS).

2 | Bus address settings
One address switch determines the address for the B426 Conettix
Ethernet Communication Module. The control panel uses the address
for communications. Use a slotted screwdriver to set the address
switch.
NOTICE!
The module reads the address switch setting only during
power up. If you change the switch after you apply power
to the module, you must cycle the power to the module in
order for the new setting to be enabled.
Set the address switch per the Table 2.1. If multiple B426 modules
reside on the same system, each B426 module must have a unique
address. Figure 2.1 shows the address switch setting for SDI2 bus
address 1.

3 | Installation
After you set the address switch for the proper address, install the
module in the enclosure, and then wire it to the control panel and other
devices.
Caution!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any
connections. Failure to do so might result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
3.1 | Mount the module in the enclosure
Mount the module into the enclosure’s 3-hole mounting
pattern using the supplied mounting screws and mounting
bracket. Refer to Figure 3.1.

For instructions on this optional switch (on GV4 Series and B Series
v2.xx control panels), refer to the
Module (B426) Installation and Operation Guide (P/N: F01U266226)
and the
F01U003734).

3.3 | Wire to the control panel
When you wire a B426 to an SDI or SDI2 control panel, you can use
either the module’s terminal strip labeled R, Y, G, B (PWR, A, B, COM)
or the module’s interconnect wiring connectors (wire included).
Figure 1.1 indicates the location of both the terminal strip and the
interconnect connectors on the module. Run the wires from the module
to the data bus terminals on the compatible control panel. Refer to
Figure 3.2.
NOTICE!
Use either the terminal strip wiring or interconnect wiring
connector to the control panel. Do not use both. When
connecting multiple modules, you can combine terminal strip
and interconnect wiring connectors in series.

4 | Confi guration
Confi gure the B426 using one of the methods described in this section
for your control panel type.
4.1 | PnP for SDI2 control panels
NOTICE!
By default, when connecting a fi eld replacement B426 to an
existing SDI2 Control Panel, the panel overrides the module
settings. To keep custom module settings when you connect
a module to a confi gured SDI2 control panel, you must
disable Panel Programming using web-based confi guration,
prior to connecting to the SDI2 bus.
When connected to a non-default SDI2 control panel, the control panel
automatically confi gures a connected module.
1. Set the address switch to the correct address for the control panel
(SDI2 control panels use address 1 or 2).
2. Connect the module to the control panel bus and apply power.
3. Program the control panel communication settings using RPS or
the keypad.
4.2 | PnP for SDI or option bus control panels
When installing under the following conditions, the B426 needs no
further confi guration:
– DHCP is available on your network.
– AES encryption is not required.
– Default B426 port settings (UDP on Port 7700) are permitted by
the network administrator.
4.3 | Web-based confi guration
For installations requiring non-default confi guration, use the B426 webbased confi guration pages.
To use the B426 confi guration pages, you need the module’s IP address
or hostname.
– The default hostname for the module is the letter B followed
by the last six alpha-numeric digits of its MAC address (for
example, B3F603F).
– Locate the IP address in the table on the DHCP server
(networked modules).
– To use Auto IP, directly connect from your PC to the B426.
Within 60 seconds, the B426 temporarily assumes address
169.254.1.1 for confi guration. (
Communication Module Installation and Operation Guide
more information on using these methods.)
NOTICE!
Before proceeding, ensure that the web browser is not
confi gured to use a proxy server. Refer to the browser’s
online help for instructions on disabling proxy service.
Logging into web-based confi guration (B426 Confi guration Pages):
1. Open an internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla
Firefox) and type in the B426’s IP address. The B426’s login page
opens.
2. Enter the password (the default is B42V2) and click Login. The
Device Information home page opens.
3. Browse to the desired settings page and confi gure the
parameters.
4. Click OK and then click Save & Execute to save and apply all
changes to the device.
