Network Ethernet Communications Module

B420

1 Overview

The B420 Ethernet Communications Module is a four-wire powered SDI, SDI2, or Option bus device that provides connection for two-way communication with compatible control panels over Ethernet networks. The B420 on-board rotary switch is used to specify module addresses. Conﬁ guration of the B420 is performed through the B420 conﬁ guration web pages. On SDI2 control panels (GV4 Series and newer) conﬁ guration can also be done on the keypad or through Remote Programming Software (RPS).

3.1 Mounting the Network Interface Module in the Enclosure

Mount the B420 into the enclosure’s 3-hole mounting pattern using the supplied mounting screws and mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 3.1.

en Quick Start Guide

For complete installation, conﬁ guration, and testing instructions, refer to the B420 Ethernet Communications Module Installation and Operation Guide (P/N: F01U215236) provided on the supplied CD-ROM.

2 Bus Address Conﬁ guration

The address switch determines the address for the B420 module. The control panel requires the mod-

ule’s address for communications. Set the address for the module prior to installing it in the enclosure. 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 switches after you apply power to the module, you must cycle the power to the module to read the new setting.

2.1 Conﬁ gure the B420 Address

The B420 address switches provide a single-digit setting for the module’s address. The module uses addresses 0 through 9. Figure 2.1 shows the address switches setting for address 1.

3.2 Wiring to the Control Panel

When you wire a B420 to a control panel, you can use either the terminal strip labeled with PWR, A, B, and COM to wire to the proper terminals, or you can use the P2 or P3 connector

2.2 Addresses For Compatible Control Panels

Set the rotary switch on the B420 to the appropriate address to ensure proper communication between the device and the control panel.

interconnect wiring cable (included). P2 and P3 are interconnect wiring connectors that parallel the PWR, A, B, and COM terminals on the terminal strip. Refer to Figure 1.1. Interconnect cable connectors are keyed so the connector plug can only ﬁ t in one direction. Ensure the connector is correctly attached.

Refer to Figure 3.2.

NOTICE!

Remove power to the control panel prior to wiring a B420 module to the control panel.

3 Installation

After you set the address switch for the proper address, install the module in the enclosure and then wire the module to the control panel.

NOTICE!

The enclosure that contains the B420 can be no further than 20 ft from the control panel enclosure and must be located in same room. The wiring between enclosures must be contained within metal conduit.

4 Conﬁ guration

You can conﬁ gure the B420 using one of the methods described in this section for your control panel type.

4.1 Conﬁ guring for SDI2 Control Panels (GV4 Only) NOTICE!

Modules permit Panel Programming by default. For ﬁ eld replacements, when

you connect the replacement module, GV4 Series control panels with non-factory settings override the B420 settings. To keep custom B420 settings when you connect a module to a GV4 control panel, you must disable Panel Programming.

4.1.1 Address-only Conﬁ guration

An SDI2-compatible control panel can automatically conﬁ gure a newly connected module.

1. Ensure the B420 is new, or defaulted to the factory settings.

2. Set the module’s address switch to the correct address for the control panel (SDI2 control

panels use address 1 or 2).

3. Program the SDI2-compatible control panel with the desired settings using RPS or the

keypad.

4. Connect the module to the control panel bus and apply power.

4.2 Conﬁ guring for SDI or Option Bus Control Panels

4.2.1 Address-only Conﬁ guration

The control panel supports address-only conﬁ guration when: – The control panel is programmed for network communication to your Central Station – DHCP is available on your network – AES Encryption is not required – Defaulted B420 access settings are permitted by the network administrator

4.2.2. Web-based Conﬁ guration (B420 Conﬁ guration Pages)

For installations where additional non-default settings are required, a web-based conﬁ guration menu is available.

1. Obtain the module’s hostname or IP address (refer to Section 4.3).

2. Log on to the B420 Conﬁ guration Page and conﬁ gure the module (refer to Section 4.4).

4.3 Determine a Module’s Hostname or IP Address

In order to log into the B420 Conﬁ guration Pages, you must use the module hostname or obtain the IP address assigned to the B420. The module has a default hostname programmed at the factory. This is the letter B followed by the last six alpha-numeric digits of its MAC address (for example, B3f603f) You can use the hostname to connect from a PC on the same network subnet as the B420 module. The module has an IP address you can use instead of the hostname. To obtain the IP address, you can: – Use the Tools Menu of a GV4 Series keypad (GV4 Only) – Locate the IP address in the table on the DHCP server (networked modules only) – Use Auto IP for direct connect. B420 will default to address 169.254.1.1 within 60 sec (non-networked modules only).

Installation and Operation Guide

4.4 Using the Web Conﬁ guration Menus

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.

To use web-based conﬁ guration (B420 Conﬁ guration Pages):

1. Open an internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox 3 or higher) and type in the B420’s IP address or hostname. The B420’s login page opens.

2. Enter the default password: B42V2 and click Login. The Device Information page opens.

3. Browse to the desired parameters, and then conﬁ gure the parameters. Click OK to preserve edited values and click Save & Execute to save apply all changes in the device when ﬁ nished.

4. When ﬁ nished, set the address switch to its proper position for communication

Refer to the B420 Ethernet Communication Module

for more information on using these methods.
