Sample Planning Memo
Note:
If the router has two Ethernet cards, the ports
are labeled with the interface number for each
card (refer to factory configuration document).
2.
Using a straight CAT 5 cable, connect the hub to
the bottom RJ-45 port on the router
(Figure 3 on page 3).
3.
Using a crossover CAT 5 cable, connect the
10Base2 Ethernet port to the BMTS BCU
Ethernet port.
Note:
The router cannot start without the onboard
Ethernet connected.
4.
Connect the supplied ac power cable to both the
router and an ac power source.
Note:
There is no power switch. When the router is
connected to both an IP Ethernet LAN and a
power source, the router turns on.

IMPORTANT
Do not plug an active ARCNET cable into the
onboard Ethernet port. Electrical incompatibilities
between the two network types may cause the
Ethernet port to be permanently damaged.
Note:
If an ARCNET cable is disconnected during
router operation, the router buffers the packets
that are destined for the ARCNET network as
long as possible. When all buffers are full, the
router automatically reboots.

Tracer Summit System Installation
As part of the upcoming facility renovation project, Trane has been
selected to provide the new facility-wide Building Automation System. This
system will control heating, air conditioning, and ventilation in the facility to
provide increased comfort and decreased utility costs. The Trane system
selected is called Tracer Summit.
The Tracer Summit system consists of a series of embedded controllers,
called Building Control Units (BCUs), and PC Workstations. The BCUs
control the equipment in the facility, and the PC Workstations are used for
system configuration and operation. As part of the construction
specifications, Trane is required to use the TCP/IP network for
communications.
Tracer Summit communications use the BACnet protocol (ASHRAE/ANSI
135-95), and IP communications follow annex J-1999 of this standard.
The critical networking requirements are:
•
IP communications using UDP at port 47808 or other user-designated
port.
•
Each BCU must have a permanently assigned IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address.
•
PC Workstations can have a permanently assigned IP address or use
DHCP.
•
If you choose to allow access from the Internet, the firewall must allow
UDP at the designated port and expose the IP addresses of the BCUs
(i.e. NAT not enabled on these devices).
•
Dialup communications supported either via IP Dialup (PPP) to your
intranet (provided by others), or directly to any BCU using Tracer
Summit workstation software.
This allows for easy operation on your corporate intranet. Any point of
access to the intranet can be used to connect to the Tracer Summit
system.
For installation of the Tracer Summit system, we need network jacks
(10BaseT) in the Mechanical rooms in the Northeast corner of the first
through fourth floors of your facility. W e also need the following
information for each Mechanical room:
Location
IP
Address
Subnet
Mask
Gateway
Floor 1
Floor 2
Floor 3
Floor 4
UDP port: __________
W e will also be installing the Tracer Summit W indows 95/98/2000/NT 4.0-
compatible software on the PC workstation located on the Facility
Manager’s desk. This PC will need to be set up for IP communications by
your staff, using either a permanently assigned IP address or DHCP.
W hen you have the above information, please send it to me at EMAIL
ADDRESS, or fax this page to me at FAX NUMBER. If you have any
questions or concerns, please call me at (800) 555-1212.
I am looking forward to working with you on this project.
Thanks again,
Project Manager
