4 Diagnostic LED descriptions
At power up, all communicator LEDs activate for several seconds, indicating proper insertion.
The Signal LEDs then turn off until the module registers on the cellular network. Registering a
new module might take up to 2 min.
Check the LED display to ensure a good signal strength level, and adjust the antenna location
as required. The signal strength LEDs momentarily turn off to indicate the module has
measured and updated the signal strength status.
Signal strength
Flash pattern Function
Red Indicates an unacceptable signal strength
level.
Yellow Indicates a marginal signal strength level.
Green (1 light) Indicates a good signal strength level.
Green (2 lights) Indicates a very good signal strength level.
No LED Indicates that the module has not acquired a
tower yet.
Tab.4.1: Signal strength LED descriptions
STATUS
Flash pattern Function
Flashes once every 1 sec (blue) Normal State: Indicates normal operation.
On Steady (blue) Communication Error State: Indicates the
communicator is unable to communicate on
the cellular network.
Off LED Trouble State: Indicates communicator is
not powered, or some other trouble condition
prohibits the communicator from controlling
the STATUS LED. (Check for proper
installation.)

5 Configuration
Communicator programming is done through the compatible control panel, plug-in
communicator interface, or universal dual path communicator. Refer to the documentation of
these devices or remote programming software help for more information. For Bosch Cellular
account status and management, use RPS or the online service portal (go to http://
www.conettix.com/Cellular.aspx and click on the Cellular Portal Login link).
Configure network alarm communication routes and settings in the control panel. Cellular
carrier specific settings such as Access Point Name and SIM card security can also be
programmed through the control panel or Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface.
5.1 Activating the B440-C/B441-C
The activation process assigns a phone number, IP address, and a data plan to the
communicator. Activation occurs using one of three methods:
1. Using the cellular activation tool in RPS.
2. By submitting a support ticket in the Bosch Cellular Portal email at:
[email protected].
3. Calling Bosch Installer Services (800-289-0096). Provide the MEID number found on the
box or on the communicator for activation.
Notice!
A valid Bosch Installer Services account is required for activation
