This article explains the proper address selection when connecting the B450 to a Bosch Intrusion Panel.
This information is needed to determine which address to select based on panel type, panel firmware revision and if Remote Programming Software will use the B450 to connect to the panel.
Step-by-step guide
Note the sticker on the front of the B450 which indicates switch positions for selecting an SDI2, SDI or Option Bus address (see figure 1).
Figure 1 Sticker with address configurations
B8512G, B9512G and B-Series types:
The B450 is not required when the cellular communicator will be installed in the Mod-1 (lower) plug-in slot.
Use the B450 in applications where signal strength is weak at the panel location. Install the B450 in a remote location with stronger signal strength and connect to SDI2. Follow the instructions below for GV4 panel types connecting to SDI2.
GV4 Panel Types:
SDI2:
Only 1 network communicator is allowed on a single address. Use address 1 or 2 as needed to avoid conflicting with another network communicator on the same address.
Connections with Remote Programming Software are available on either address 1 or 2.
GV4 or GV3 using SDI:
Only 1 network communicator is allowed on a single address. Use address 88 or 92 as needed to avoid conflicting with another network communicator on the same address.
When used as sole communicator or as back-up communicator to Phone line, use address 4 for SDI address 88.
When used as back-up communicator to Ethernet (B426) use address 5 for SDI address 92, unless the B450 will be used for RPS connections (see note 4 below).
Note that SDI address 88 is required for connecting to Remote Programming Software (Ethernet is preferred when allowed).
GV2 v7.06+ Panel Types (SDI only):
Use address 4 for SDI address 88.
The B8512 or B9512 supervises keypads even when disabled Related Products B8512 B9512 B915 B920 B921C B925F B926F B930 B942 Overview Issue The B8512 or B9512 supervises keypads even when Supervision=NO Solution If the keypad Type is set to an SDI type keypad (see below) the supervision setting can be configured YES or NO. When the keypad Type is set to one of the SDI2 type keypads the supervision Yes/No setting is ignored and the keypad is supervised. SDI2 devices are always supervised by design regardless of the supervision setting. SDI Keypads SDI2 Keypads D1255 VFD Keypad (SDI) B915 D125xRB Keypad (SDI) B920 D126x LCD Keypad (SDI) B921C B925F B926F B930 B942 Notes SDI2 devices that are the same type of device must use different addresses. SDI2 devices that are not the same type can be configured to the same address. For example: The B915, B92x, B930 or B942 are all same device types (keypads) and must use different addresses. The B920, B208 and B520 are all different device types and can all use the same address.

What are the steps to default a DS7090 or DS7090i?
Solution
To set panel back to factory default perform the following:
Caution - This will erase all programming except for the phone numbers. What may prevent the panel from being set to factory default is a security feature called anti-takeover. If this is enabled the panel will not be able to be set back to factory default
Enter into program mode by the installer code # 0 ( 98765 # 0 ) is the default code, or short the little silver dots next to the last zone on the panel for 4 seconds with a jumper wire.
** Enter 839#, the beeper should sound for steady.
Short the same 2 pins, and the panel should be back to factory default.
** When the step is followed and a 3-beep error tone is generated while after 839# is entered. This panel is lock and will need to be reset at Bosch Security System for a fee. Contact our repair department a 800-289-0096 Ex 4220 M - F 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. EST

How do I do a local system test?
Solution
Local System Test
It is easy for you to test your security system without sending reports to the Central Station. This local system test is performed only when the security system is disarmed to ensure that your security system is operating properly, and should be used to test your system regularly.
COMMAND 44 is used to test your security system. This command tests your Command Center, the system’s sounders (both interior and exterior) and the system’s detection devices. No alarm reports are sent to the Central Station unless a 24-hour zone is faulted (e.g.: panic, fire duress). Contact your Central Station before you test your fire protection system because an alarm report may be transmitted.
To test individual detection devices, simply activate sensors and open protected doors and windows one-at-a-time. As detection devices are faulted, the Command Center display panel indicates the faulted zone. This verifies that the detection device is working properly.
To use COMMAND 44:
1. Ensure that the security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The Command Mode indicator light comes on. 3. Press the 4 key twice. Audible devices (both interior and exterior) sound. To silence the audible warning, press any numeric key of the Command Center keypad. 4. After silencing the audible devices, you may test detection devices. Open a door or a window, or activate a motion sensor. The Command Center display panel indicates the zone which you have faulted. This verifies that individual devices are working properly. 5. To end the Local System Test simply press any numeric key on the Command Center.
After installing RPS Full edition or RPS Lite, the RPS software was then uninstalled and RPS Lite/RPS edition installed; However, the Full/lITE edition of RPS still reinstalled even while using a RPS Lite/RPS Full CD or installation files. Can this be fixed?

The Standby (Reset) pin is not locked down. The panel 12V backup battery is low or missing. Using the wrong product handler, for example, using 2112 instead of 2212. Too much Current Draw on panel. Disconnect devices from Aux Power and try again. Noise or interference on the keypad Data Bus. Disconnect all wires on the panel data terminals. Not enough free memory in the D5200 Programmer. There should be 60K free memory. Refer to KB article: How to Operate the D5200 Hand Held Programmer. The 2212 handler may be corrupted in the D5200. Delete the 2212 handler and re-download it. Refer to KB article: How to Operate the D5200 Hand Held Programmer. Low batteries in the D5200. Replace batteries using 4 C cells. Trying to program a panel that is not powered up The programming cord is not securely connected to the panel programming port or may be damaged. The DX4010V2 comes with a cord with a 4-pin Molex connector on one end and phone connector on other end. This cable may work as a substitute.
How to activate multiple auxiliary relays on Area Wide or Panel Wide Events.
Programming Area Wide or Panel Wide Relays will only allow a single relay entry. Use an auxiliary relay such as the D130, D133 or D134 when multiple relays are needed to energize on a panel event.
