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 or option bus control panel
NOTICE!
Option bus control panels support AMAX 2100/ 3000/ 4000
fi rmware version v1.5 or higher only.
NOTICE!
By default, when connecting a fi eld replacement B426 to an
existing SDI2 or option bus control panel, the panel overrides
the module settings. To keep custom module settings when
you connect a module to a confi gured control panel, you must
disable Panel Programming using web-based confi guration,
prior to connecting to the SDI2 or option bus.
When connected to a non-default SDI2 or option bus 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, option control panels use
addresses 134 or 250).
2.
Connect the module to the control panel bus and apply power.
3.
Program the control panel communication settings using RPS for
SDI2 control panel, A-Link for option control panel, 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 web-
based 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. (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
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.
