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. Configuration of the B426 is performed through the B426 configuration web pages. On SDI2 control panels, configuration 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.

1 ― Module with mounting bracket installed
2 ― Enclosure
3 ― Mounting screws (3)
3.2 | Mount and wire the tamper switch
For instructions on this optional switch (on GV4 Series and B Series v2.xx control panels), refer to the Conettix Ethernet Communication Module (B426) Installation and Operation Guide (P/N: F01U266226)
and the EZTS Cover and Wall Tamper Switch Installation Guide (P/N: 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.

Callout ― Description
1 ― SDI2 control panel. For SDI control panels, wire R, Y, G, B to the SDI bus.
2 ― Interconnect wiring connectors
3 ― To Ethernet network
4 ― Terminal strip wiring
5 ― Interconnect cable (P/N: F01U079745) (included)
6 ― Option bus control panel
4 | Configuration
Configure 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 field 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 configured SDI2 control panel, you must disable Panel Programming using web-based configuration, prior to connecting to the SDI2 bus.
When connected to a non-default SDI2 control panel, the control panel automatically configures 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 configuration:
–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 configuration
For installations requiring non-default configuration, use the B426 webbased configuration pages.
To use the B426 configuration 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 configuration. (Refer to the Conettix Ethernet Communication Module Installation and Operation Guide for more information on using these methods.)
NOTICE!
Before proceeding, ensure that the web browser is not configured to use a proxy server. Refer to the browser’s online help for instructions on disabling proxy service.
Logging into web-based configuration (B426 Configuration 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 configure the parameters.
4.Click OK and then click Save & Execute to save and apply all changes to the device.
