1 Introduction

The BASRTP-B is a multi-network router, sharing messages
among BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet and MS/TP networks. The
router is configurable via its internal webpage. The unit attaches
to a USB port of your computer and has one isolated MS/TP port
and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Auto-MDIX port.

The MS/TP port offers a 3-pin terminal block with a removable
plug for the EIA-485 connection. Through this port, up to 254
devices can be addressed — as many as 31 full-load devices on
the attached segment. All MS/TP baud rates (as stated in the
BACnet standard) are supported.

The Ethernet port offers a shielded RJ-45 connector. Through
auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX, it automatically matches its
duplex setting, data rate and signal polarity to whatever is
needed by the attached equipment. Thus, only a straight-through
CAT5 cable is needed for hook-up.

The USB port is strictly used to power the BASRTP-B. No
communications is supported via the USB port.

The BASRTP-B features a user-accessible switch to reset the IP
address, subnet mask and gateway address to the factory defaults.

Three LEDs are present: A power LED glows green when proper
power is provided. The Ethernet LED glows green for 100 Mbps
operation and yellow for 10 Mbps and flashes to indicate activity.
A green LED flashes when MS/TP traffic is received.

Each unit complies with Class A radiated and conducted emissions
as defined by EN55022 and CFR 47, Part 15, and is intended for
use in non-residential areas.
