      1. Navigate to http://US.Boschsecurity.com. Browse to: Product Catalog > Intrusion Alarm Systems > Conettix Communications and locate > B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interfaces.
      2. You may see 2 B450 module pictures, click on the lower of the two. Next click on Downloads followed by Software.
      3. Download and save the latest version B450 firmware and a second file containing TeraTerm and the B450 Driver. TeraTerm will be used for the firmware upgrade.
      4. Extract the files from each ZIP file. The firmware file required for use with TeraTerm ends with a *.kfw extension.
      5. Locate the file teraterm-4.82.exe and double-click to install TeraTerm. The file RBUS1CP.inf is the driver to be used with the B450.
    1. Remove the B450 from the control panel and remove the cell card from the B450.
    2. Set the address wheel on the B450 to 0 and reconnect the B450 to the control panel.
      1. Note that the B450 address wheel must be changed as required for the control panel once the firmware upgrade is completed.
    3. Connect a USB A to USB A cable (Bosch p/n B99) between a computer and the B450. When using a store purchased cable, be sure to use a ‘Computer to Peripheral ‘cable and not a ‘Computer to Computer’ type cable.
    4. Open TeraTerm.                                                                                                                                                                             TeraTerm Icon.png

    11. When the file transfer completes, the TeraTerm: XMODEM Send dialog box closes. A TeraTerm window displays a message about updating to firmware version “x.xx.xxx”, and the B450 automatically reboots.
      1. Notice!  Do not power off the module during this phase.  Powering off might cause permanent damage to the B450.
    12. Close the TeraTerm session, and relaunch TeraTerm.
    13. Log into TeraTerm to reestablish the connection. Communication between the control panel and B450 restores.
    14. Remove power from the B450.
    15. Place the cell card back into the B450.
    16. Set the device address as required for the configuration in use.
