Area configurations

Link multiple areas to a shared area such as a lobby or
common entryway. The shared area then automatically
turns On (arms) when all associate areas are armed
and turns Off (disarms) when any one associate area
is disarmed. For higher security applications, the Area
Re-Arm feature guarantees that areas are always
rearmed, and are disarmed for no longer than a
specific, configurable, amount of time (for example,
service time).

Custom functions

For added convenience, the installer can program
custom functions that allow customers to complete
complex tasks with one simple action. For example, a
custom function can bypass a group of points and arm
the system, allowing the user to perform these
functions with one easy command. Users can activate
custom functions with a keypad, keyfob, token, or
card, or the control panel can activate a function in
reaction to a faulted point, or automatically through a
scheduled event (SKED).

Passcode security

• Two-man rule. Requires two people with two unique
passcodes to be present at the time of opening.

• Early ambush. Allows users to verify that the facility is
safe by requiring two passcodes. The control panel
sends a duress event if the user does not enter the
passcode a second time after inspecting the
premises.

• Dual authentication. Requires two forms of
identification before processing certain system
commands, including turning off the system and
opening doors. A standard system user must have a
passcode, a credential (token or card), and
appropriate command authority permissions.

Door control

Using the B901 Access Control Module, the control
panel provides a fully supervised access control
solution. The solution offers 14 programmable levels
of access authority. Authority for door access is
controlled by the user level, the group of the user, the
time of day, the door state, and the area armed (On/
Off) state.

Easy exit control

The control panel changes from one On (armed) state
to another without turning off (disarming) the system.
For example, if you change the state from Part On
(Perimeter Arm) to All On (Master Arm), the control
panel complies and reports the change. Easy Exit
Control reduces the number of keystrokes, simplifying
system operation.

Programmable passcode-controlled menu list

Passcode-controlled shortcuts provide users only with
the options and information pertinent to them,
simplifying system operation.

Flexible control

The system provides the flexibility to choose added
convenience or high security. For example, you can
restrict to a keypad's immediate local area turning on
(arming) and turning off (disarming) the system with a
passcode, even if the user has access to other areas.
This is particularly useful for high security areas,
where a user may have access to the area, but would
prefer to only turn off (disarm) the area individually
rather than with the rest of the system.

Monitor Delay/Delayed Response

Create a special point index that delays the reaction of
a point for a specified time (up to 1 hour in minutes
and seconds). This delay provides time for the
specified condition to reset before activating any
annunciation. The system can annunciate locally and
send a report, if desired. When the system is armed,
the point can respond like a normal point – providing
dual functionality. Use this feature to ensure that
perimeter doors have not been propped open, or to
monitor critical areas such as computer rooms and
safes, for example.

System users

The system supports up to 100 users. Each user can
have a personalized passcode, a wireless keyfob, and a
credential to control the system. You can assign
passcodes to one of 14 customized authority levels in
each area that can be restricted to operate only during
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 on-board Ethernet to
communicate with a Conettix D6600 or a Conettix
D6100IPv6 Communications Receiver/Gateway.
The control panel can optionally use 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 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 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 to transfer firmware updates.
The control panel can optionally receive firmware
updates from RPS using 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:

• Single 1 kΩ, single 2 kΩ, dual 1 kΩ (1 kΩ + 1 kΩ), and
No EOL (end-of-line) (EOL) resistor options (for on­board and B208 inputs)

• Programmable for Fire, Intrusion, Access, 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.

Video verification

Ensure priority response by law enforcement and
elimination of fines for false alarms through a
subscription to Bosch CBS video verification services.
The services also optionally enable your monitoring
center to speak real-time to an intruder to deter
further damage to your site.
