BASrouterLX

High-Performance BACnet® Router

INSTALLATION GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The BASrouterLX is a high-performance BACnet router providing stand-alone
routing between BACnet networks such as BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet, and
BACnet MS/TP. Besides its high-speed processor, it has advanced features such
as MS/TP slave proxy support (allowing auto-discovery of MS/TP slaves) and
MS/TP frame capture and storage for use with Wireshark®. Up to 50 BBMD
entries can be made. The BASrouterLX has two physical communication ports
— a 10/100 Mbps BACnet/IP Ethernet port and an optically isolated EIA-485 port
for MS/TP. A USB port is included for future use. Router configuration is
accomplished via a web page
