Best For: Bosch Solution 6000 installations requiring the RS485 LAN to extend between separate locations using an Ethernet network
Bosch CM430S RS485 LAN-to-Ethernet Converter Module
Extend the RS485 LAN of a compatible Bosch Solution 6000 alarm system across a local Ethernet network with the Bosch CM430S. This specialist converter allows a control panel and remote RS485 LAN equipment to communicate between locations where a direct RS485 cable run is impractical.
The CM430S supports point-to-point and star network configurations, making it suitable for larger homes, commercial premises, multi-building sites and access-control installations where compatible Bosch equipment is distributed across the property.
Important: This is an RS485 LAN extension device, not a general internet, smartphone-app or alarm-reporting module. A point-to-point installation normally requires one CM430S at the panel location and another at the remote location. This listing is for one CM430S module. Please confirm your system design and required quantity with your security technician before ordering.

When Is the CM430S Used?
The CM430S is designed for installations where Bosch RS485 LAN devices need to operate at a location separated from the alarm panel by an existing Ethernet network.
Typical applications may include:
- Extending the alarm LAN between separate buildings
- Connecting remote sections of a large commercial property
- Supporting multi-location Solution 6000 installations
- Using existing network infrastructure where a new RS485 cable run is difficult
- Creating a star network with multiple remote locations

Installation Requirements
The CM430S requires professional configuration of its network address, TCP server or client mode, alarm-panel programming and RS485 wiring. For installations spanning multiple locations, the network switch and each remote module location should have suitable backup power to maintain communication during a power outage.
Installation and programming should be completed by an experienced security technician familiar with Bosch Solution 6000 systems and IP networking.
