3 Configuration

3.1 Configuring for SDI2 Control Panels (GV4 Only)

3.1.1 Address-only Configuration for SDI2 Control PanelsYou can quickly configure this device by setting the device’s address switch to 1 or 2, and

then connecting it to the control panel.

You can use address-only configuration when an SDI2 control panel is programmed with

proper network settings, and Panel Programming is enabled in the B420 Panel Programming

configuration web pages (refer to Section 3.11 Maintenance Page, page 22). Panel

Programming is enabled by default to allow for easy field installation and replacement.

Address-only Configuration ConditionsSDI2-compatible control panels can automatically configure a new module.

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

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

3. Program the control panel with the desired settings.

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

The control panel stores the B420 settings and automatically programs a defaulted B420

when connected. To override automatic module programming, use the web configuration to

set the Panel Programming Enable parameter to NO before installing.

3.1.2 Web-based Configuration for SDI2 Control PanelsOnce Panel Programming is disabled, you can use web-based configuration - the B420

Configuration Pages - to configure B420 modules. To use this feature, you must know the

module’s hostname or IP address. Refer to Section 3.3 Determining a Module’s Hostname or IP

Address, page 13, and then follow the instructions in Section 3.4 Accessing the B420

Configuration Pages, page 14 through Section 3.14 Exiting the Configuration Web Page, page 26.

3.2 Configuring for SDI or Option Bus Control Panels

3.2.1 Address-only Configuration for SDI or Option Control PanelsYou can quickly and easily configure this device by simply setting the device’s address switch

to the address for a compatible control panel, and then connecting it to that control panel’s

bus.

Address-only Configuration Conditions

A SDI or Option Bus control panel supports address-only configuration when:

NOTICE!

Modules permit Panel Programming by default. For field 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.

NOTICE!

You cannot access the configuration web pages for a B420 if the module is connected to a

GV4 Series control panel and the Web Access Enable option is set to No. No is the default

value for GV4 Series control panels. To re-enable Web Access to the B420, use RPS or the

control panel keypad while the device is connected.

– The following alarm communication and supervision conditions are met:

– 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

– The following remote control panel programming conditions are met:

– UPnP is enabled on the network router for automatic port mapping

– UDP traffic on port 7700 is enabled

3.2.2 Web-based Configuration for SDI2 or Option Bus Control PanelsYou can use web-based configuration - B420 configuration Pages - to configure B420 modules.

To use this feature, you must know the module’s hostname or IP address. Refer to

Section 3.3 Determining a Module’s Hostname or IP Address, page 13, and then follow the

instructions in Section 3.4 Accessing the B420 Configuration Pages, page 14 through

Section 3.14 Exiting the Configuration Web Page, page 26.

3.3 Determining a Module’s Hostname or IP AddressTo log into the B420 Configuration Pages, you must obtain the IP address assigned to the

B420 or use the module’s hostname. To obtain the IP address, use the appropriate method

described below based on the B420 installation.

3.3.1 Determining a Module’s HostnameThe factory default configuration of the B420 allows the DHCP server to assign an IP address

and a hostname. A default hostname based on the MAC address is registered with the DNS

server if the module has not been programmed for a specific hostname (refer to

Section Module Hostname, page 23). You can use the hostname for modules configured for

dynamic DHCP or static IP addresses. Hostnames cannot be used when connecting directly

using Auto IP (refer to Section 3.3.4 Using Auto IP with a Directly Connected Module, page 14).

The default hostname for the B420 is the letter B followed by the last six alpha-numeric digits

of its MAC address (for example, B3f603f).

3.3.2 Using a GV4 Series Keypad to Discover the IP Address of a ModuleIf the B420 is connected to a GV4 Series Control Panel, you can use a connected keypad to

look up the IP address.

Finding the B420’s IP address using a keypad (D1260 instructions):

1. On the keypad, press [99] [ENTER].

2. Press the Next softkey repeatedly to navigate to the Tools Menu option.

3. Press the Tools Menu softkey. The keypad instructs you to enter the installer passcode.

4. Enter the passcode and press [ENTER]. The Tools Menu opens.

5. Press the Next softkey repeatedly to navigate to the IP Diagnostics option.

6. Press the corresponding soft button to enter the IP Diagnostics option.

7. At the B420 Module 1-2 option, enter the number for the B420 module for which you

want to review the settings, and press [ENTER].

8. Press [ENTER] at the Settings option. The keypad shows the Hostname.

9. Press the Next soft button. The keypad shows the MAC ID.

10. Press the Next soft button. The keypad shows the IP address assigned to the module.

11. Press the Exit soft button when finished reviewing the settings.

3.3.3 Using DHCP to Look Up the IP Address of a Network-connected Module If the B420 is connected to a network, a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server

assigns the IP address to the B420.



Looking up the B420’s IP address on the DHCP server:

1. Log into the DHCP server.

2. Locate the IP address table on the DHCP server.

3. Use the MAC address assigned to the B420 (indicated on the label on the Ethernet RJ-45

port), to find the IP address assigned to the B420.

3.3.4 Using Auto IP with a Directly Connected ModuleIf the B420 is connected directly to a computer (laptop or PC) and is not connected to a

network (no network hub, router, or switch is connected), you can use the B420’s Auto IP

feature to assign a static IP address to the B420.

If the B420’s IP address is not recorded in the host computer’s ARP table and you do not

know the address, set the rotary switch to the 0 position, cycle the power to the module, and

then follow the steps below.

Using the AutoIP feature:

1. Direct connect the B420 to the Ethernet port on a computer and wait 60 sec.

2. Open an internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox 3 or

higher) and type in the default Auto IP address for the B420: 169.254.1.1.

3. Enter the default password: "B42V2" and click Login.

The Device Information page opens. Refer to Section 3.5 Device Information (Home) Page,

page 15 for more information.

If Auto IP does not work on the host computer, a new registry key might be required to enable

Auto IP. Be sure to obtain permission from your company IT department before changing the

registry.

To enable Auto IP on the host computer with a new registry key:

1. Open Notepad and create a new file called AutoIP.reg.

2. In Noteplad, include the following text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"IPAutoconfigurationEnabled"=dword:00000001

3. Save the file to a location on the host computer that you can easily find.

4. Navigate to the saved file and double-click on it to add it to the host computer’s registry.

5. Restart the host computer.

3.4 Accessing the B420 Configuration PagesYou can use the module’s IP address or its hostname (unless directly connected using

AutoIP), to access the B420 Configuration Pages. Refer to Section 3.3 Determining a Module’s

Hostname or IP Address, page 13 if you do not know the IP address or the hostname.

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 as the URL or type in the module hostname.

2. In the address bar, enter the B420’s IP address or hostname as the URL (for example,

http://10.25.110.111 or http://B3f603f).

NOTICE!

Before trying the Auto IP option, 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.



3. The B420’s login page opens. Refer to Figure 3.1.

NOTICE!

The factory default configuration of the B420 allows the DHCP and DNS servers to assign an

IP address and a DNS hostname. A default hostname based on the MAC address is used if the

module has not been programmed for a specific hostname (refer to Section Module Hostname,

page 23). You can use this method for modules configured for dynamic DHCP or static IP

addresses, but not when directly connected using Auto IP. The default hostname for the B420

is the letter B followed by the last six digits of its MAC address.

NOTICE! It is recommended to change your password after completing Step 4 for security of

the module configuration. The Web Login Password can be changed from the Maintenance

page as described in Section 3.11.

Figure 3.3 Basic Network Setting Web Page

DHCP/AutoIP Enable

DHCP is an auto configuration protocol that allows a computer to be automatically

configured, which eliminates the need for interaction by a network administrator. DHCP also

provides a central database that tracks computers that connect to the network, which

prevents two computers from accidentally being configured with the same IP address.

AutoIP enables dynamic IP addresses to be assigned to a device when the device is started

up. Whereas DHCP requires a DHCP server, AutoIP does not require a server when selecting

an IP address. A host configured with AutoIP receives an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx.

Open an internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox 2 or

higher) and type in the B420’s hostname or IP address as the URL (for example, http://

10.25.110.111).

Static IP Address

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating

in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes.

When DHCP/AutoIP Enable is set to Yes, this parameter cannot be changed.

Subnet Mask

NOTICE!

The IPV6 Mode option is not supported in this version.

Default: YesSelection: Yes or NoYes DHCP/AutoIP is enabledNo DHCP/AutoIP is disabled

Default: 0.0.0.0Selection: 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255




Subnetting is used to break the network into smaller, more efficient subnets to prevent

excessive rates of Ethernet packet collision in a large network. A significant feature of

subnetting is the subnet mask. Applying a subnet mask to an IP address allows you to identify

the network and node parts of the address. When DHCP/AutoIP Enable is set to Yes, this

parameter cannot be changed.

Default Gateway

A gateway is a node (typically a router) on a TCP/IP network that serves as an access point to

another network. A host uses a default gateway when an IP packet's destination address

belongs to someplace outside the local subnet. The default gateway address is usually an

interface belonging to the LAN's border router. In DHCP mode, the default gateway is usually

resolved automatically. When DHCP/AutoIP Enable is set to Yes, this parameter cannot be

changed.

DNS Server IP Address

A Domain Name Server (DNS) converts internet domain names or hostnames to their

corresponding IP addresses. This setting is used to configure a DNS server address in Static

IP mode. In DHCP mode, the default value of 0.0.0.0 indicates the DHCP server’s default DNS

will be used. To use a custom DNS server in DHCP mode, change the parameter to the

specified DNS server’s IP address.

Local Port

This option sets the local port number that the module listens for in-coming network traffic.



Default: 7700Selection: 0 to 65535

software can configure the B420 through this port.No The network configuration port is disabled. The remote application

software cannot configure the B420 through this port.

Default: 80Selection: 1 to 65535



ARP Cache Timeout

When the B420 communicates with any device on a network, an entry is added to its ARP

table for each of those devices. The ARP Cache Timeout defines the number of seconds (1 to

600) before the ARP table of the B420 is refreshed.

Flash Rate FunctionFlashes once every 1 sec Normal State: Indicates normal operation state.3 quick flashes every 1 sec Communication Error State: Indicates a bus communication

error.ON Steady Trouble State: Indicates a trouble condition exists.OFF Steady LED Trouble State: Module is not powered, or some other

trouble condition prohibits the module from controlling the

Heartbeat LED.OFF for 3 sec, then flash

firmware version*

Firmware Version: For example, if the version is 3.2.1, the

LED pulses 3 times and pauses for 1 sec, pulses 2 times and

pauses for 1 sec, and then pulses 1 time. After pulsing the

Firmware version, the Heartbeat LED stays OFF for 3 sec

before indicating the module state.* On power up, the Heartbeat LED stays OFF for 3 sec before indicating the Firmware version. The LED

pulses the major, minor, and micro digits of the firmware version, with a 1 sec pause after each digit.

LED FunctionRX (Receive) Flashes when the data bus receives a message.TX (Transmit) Flashes when the data bus sends a message.
