2 Component overview

Cellular plug-in communicators provide IP communications over supported cellular networks

by directly connecting the communicator into a control panel or into an additional module

such as the Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface or the Conettix Universal Dual Path

Communicator modules. All communicators come with a SIM card holder.

Notice!

Connections to both antenna connectors (secondary and primary) must be installed using the

supplied antennas or an extended antenna (sold separately). Failure to do so might cause

poor signal strength.

When using an external antenna such as the Bosch Multiband Antenna (B40-P, B40-MB25 or

B40-MB50) connect the cable to the primary connector of the B444-A/V cellular module. You

must also connect the supplied antenna to the secondary antenna connection. Failure to do so

may result in poor service and dropped signals or connection.
