5. Type the static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. Each node on the TCP/IP
network requires its own IP (Internet Protocol) address. The IP address must be unique
to the node and it must not be used by any other device on the TCP/IP network.
If you need assistance, contact your network administrator.
6. Click
Enable
under
BACnet
.
7. Click
the
Activate BACnet
button. You must have a CodeMeter key inserted in the
computer.
8. Click
Yes
to transfer a BACnet license from your CodeMeter key to the Configurator, and
then click
OK
in the
BACnet Services Licence Imported
window, and then click
OK
in
the
UnitCounter
window.
9. Type
a
Device ID
and a
Base ID
in the appropriate fields. The Device ID must be a
lower number than the Base ID.
The Base ID determines where the object ID values will start from. FleX-Net™ assigns
every device a BACnet object ID starting from the Base ID.
The Device ID determines the ID of the Fire Alarm Control Panel. The Device ID must be
lower than the Base ID so that it is outside the range of possible object IDs.
10. Check
Supervise Ethernet Connection
if necessary. This creates a trouble event if the
node does not detect an Ethernet connection.
Note:
Your organization has a certain number of BACnet Services licenses. You can
use only one BACnet Services license per job.
