2.5 BAS Network Settings: MAC Address, Device Instance and Baud Rate
2.5.1
BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Setting the MAC Address for BAS Network
•
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoNode regardless of how many devices are
connected to ProtoNode.
•
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC addresses of the ProtoNode to a value between 1 to 127
(MAC Master Addresses); this is so that the BMS Front End can find the ProtoNode
via BACnet auto discovery.
•
Note:
Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address from 128 to 255
. Addresses from
128 to 255 are Slave Addresses and
cannot
be discovered by BAS Front Ends that
support auto discovery of BACnet MS/TP devices.
•
Set “A” bank DIP switches A0 – A7 to assign a MAC Address to the ProtoNode for
BACnet MS/TP.
•
Please refer to Appendix A for the complete range of MAC Addresses and DIP switch
settings.
