Radionix B465 Universal Dual Path Communicator

Radionix B465 Universal Dual Path Communicator

Compatible with control panels using a standard digital dialer format. Provides end-to-end security. Allows digital dialer control panels to work over an IP network (such as LAN, WAN, or the Internet).

The B465 Conettix Universal Dual Path Communicator converts the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) digital dialer, or dry contact outputs from an intrusion/ fire control panel to an IP signal for transmission over the Ethernet or cellular network. The B465 Conettix Universal Dual Path Communicator is UL 864 10th Edition approved per NFPA 72 version 2013. The module can use its built-in Ethernet connection, and/or an optional Conettix plug-in cellular module (B440/B441/B442/B443) to send reports to the central station receiver.

Automation programming for the supported control panel remains unchanged with the installation of the B465 module, thus simplifying the installation process. This allows for a smooth transition from the PSTN realm into IP. All messages generated internally by the B465 are shown in Contact ID format at the central station.

The module can be powered from a 16.5 VAC transformer or 24 VDC power supply.

The B465 simulates dial tone and line voltages when the digital dialer has a report to send. The module simulates a PSTN connection to the central station. The module decodes the control panel's PSTN dialer report and sends the decoded reports by IP connection using Radionix's Conettix Protocol to the Conettix D6600, D6100IPv6, or D6100i Communication Gateway/Receiver (referred to as the receiver). When the receiver acknowledges receipt of the message, it sends an acknowledgement report to the module which in turn sends an acknowledgement to the connected control panel. This process maintains true end-to-end security.

The module supports Domain Name System (DNS) for 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.
