SafetyESD Precaution

Please note that while the B450 comes in a plastic case, and is protected from ESD, the plug-in cellular communicator (B44x) does not. All plug-in cellular communicator components maypotentially be exposed to finger touches - therefore extra attention must be paid to ESD(electrostatic discharge) precaution. Make sure there is no static interference when using theboard. Appropriate ESD protections must be taken and wearing electrostatic equipment isrecommended, such as anti-static wrist strap.ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure.Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very smallparametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Configuration

Notice!

Power up the system prior to the configuration workflows described in this chapter.

You can configure the B450 using one of the methods described in this section for yourcontrol panel type.

Configuration for SDI2 control panelsPerform the following to configure the B450 to supporting SDI2 control panels.

Notice!

By default, when connecting a field replacement B450 to an existing SDI2 control panel, the

control panel overrides some of the module settings such as; TCP/UDP Port Number, AES

Encryption, Tamper, Panel Programming, IPv4 DNS Server IP Address, Alternate IPv4 DNS

Server IP Address, and TCP Keep Alive Time. To keep custom module settings when you

connect a module to a configured control panel, you must disable Panel Programming prior to

connecting to the SDI2 bus. This is accomplished by using either USB, or SMS configuration.

If the SDI2 control panel is not defaulted, the control panel sends the network configuration

parameters to the B450.

Address-only configuration conditionsAn SDI2 control panel automatically configures a newly connected module.1. If the control panel is not at factory default, it transfers the configuration settings in the

control panel to the B450.2. Verify that the address switch is set to the correct address for the control panel (SDI2

control panels use address 1 or 2). If the switch is not set to the correct address, powerdown the system, set the correct address, and then power up the system.

3. Program the control panel communication settings using RPS or the keypad.The control panel stores the module settings and automatically programs a defaulted modulewhen connected. If manual module programming is required, use USB or SMS configuration toset the Panel Programming parameter to Disabled before installing.

Configuring and viewing status from RPSConfigurationFor SDI2 control panels, the networking related parameters in the Networking parameters inRPS table can be configured through the panel or RPS. When cellular specific parameters needto be modified, refer to the USB or SMS configuration sections within this installation andoperation guide for programming workflows and operation. The B450 parameters within RPS can be found under the SDI2 Modules section. Refer to thechart below for RPS selections:

Short Message Service (SMS) configurationThe B450 supports configuration by SMS connection. When enabled via the Inbound SMSparameter, the Short Message Service feature allows an installer to configure the B450through the use of a mobile phone, or any other service that sends compatible SMS textmessages.

Notice!

SMS text messages are not processed when the Inbound SMS parameter is set to: Disabled.

The default setting is Enabled.

Use SMS to configure the B450The SMS string follows a specific format. If the configuration message exceeds 160characters, you must send multiple messages. Refer to Compose the Configuration SMS formore details.When the B450 receives the final valid part of an SMS message, it accepts the configuration.

Notice!

To allow the receipt of SMS data, the bus address switch must be set at position 0. Refer to

the tables in this section for LED activity.

If the bus address switch is not set to 0, incoming SMS data is discarded.

Enter CONFIG MODEEnsure that the bus address switch is set to 0.

Compose the Inbound SMSUse the appropriate SMS template for the selected mode of operation, and compose theconfiguration SMS message on your mobile phone. SMS can contain only 160 characters.Refer to Multiple SMS Messages (for Messages Longer than 160 Characters) for instructionsfor sending a multiple SMS configuration. The information in the tables below contain only the essential configuration IDs. For additionalconfiguration IDs, refer to the SMS configuration parameters. To configure a B450 parameterusing SMS text, format the text as follows : %1;1=B450;19=1;!The configuration message must begin with the sequence number (%1) and must include thecurrent B450 configuration password (default = B450) followed by the ID number and thevalue you want to set.

Notice!

Separate each ID or value pair with a semi-colon ; (for example, %1;1=B450;19=1;!). To allow

spanning of configuration across multiple messages, each SMS starts with the sequence

number followed by the command line separator.

Use the ! character to signal the end of the configuration data. Refer to your cellular phone’s

documentation for available characters. You must include the current SMS configuration

passcode in the SMS text message to allow the module to save the new configuration data.

Table 5.10: Double SMS example, part 2

Send the Inbound SMS1. Send the configuration SMS to the B44x module’s phone number. The transmission might

take several minutes. Because the bus address switch is set to 0, the B450 waits for anSMS until a message is received.




2. Observe the LEDs on the B450. When the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) LEDs will flashin unison at a 1 second interval indicating a successful SMS was received. If the SMS wasreceived but was not valid the Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) LEDs will alternate flashingat 1/2 second interval. Both flashing patterns will continue until the bus address switch ismoved from position "0.”

Notice!

If the LEDs indicate an invalid SMS, repeat the steps in Enter CONFIG MODE.

Refer to the tables in Maintenance and troubleshooting, page 56 section for more information

on LED descriptions. Ensure that your configuration SMS contains the correct information, as

well as sending the SMS to the correct phone number for the module, or use the USB

connection to configure the B450

Exit from CONFIG MODE1. Change the bus address switch to the desired value, depending on the supported control

panel. Changes to the B450 configuration are accepted.2. Check the signal strength and Heartbeat LED for status.

Firmware Update pageFirmware updates are performed through the USB interface via a communication programsuch as Hyper Terminal or Tera Term.

Notice!

When performing a firmware update, verify that the update software file to be downloaded is

the most current software update version. No changes to the firmware occur if the firmware

update version is the same version as the current version installed on the B450.
