BACnet Addressing

The following section describes the common BACnet configuration parameters used to establish network communication between the unit controller and the BAS.

BACnet MS/TP

Typical BACnet MS/TP parameters required for configuration are: MAC address, Device Instance, and Baud Rate.
The BACnet MS/TP Media Access Control (MAC) address is a one-octet address that must be set during the BACnet Communication Module configuration. The MAC address must be unique to the MS/TP network and have a valid range of 0-127. It is shipped set to a default value of 0.
IM 1000 15
Page 16

BACnet IP

Typical BACnet IP parameters required for configuration are: IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Device Instance. The BACnet Communication Module is assigned a factory default IP address and Subnet Mask. These are only temporary but are required so that the user knows what address to access the BACnet Communication Module in order to change network parameters. See your system administrator for the correct IP Address and Subnet Mask required for your network.
The BACnet/IP (B/IP) address of the Maverick I unit controller consists of the four-octet IP address followed by the two-octet UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port number. The BACnet/IP Address is a six-octet value analogous to a MAC (Media Access Control) address. The IP Address portion of the BACnet/IP address must be unique in the BACnet network segment. The default UDP port number in the unit controller is 47808 (BAC0 in hexadecimal).
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
The BACnet Communication Module supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) IP Addressing for BACnet IP networks.
By default, this feature is disabled. To configure the BACnet Communication Module to use the DHCP feature, select “DHCP Enabled” check box in the BACnet IP section of the Communications Interface Settings page (see Figure 7). In a DHCP-based network, the BACnet Communication Module automatically receives the required parameters from the DHCP server. Consult with your network administrator for the information on your network setting.
BACnet Ethernet
BACnet Ethernet requires configuration of the Device Instance. The Ethernet MAC address of the BACnet Communication Module is a six-octet address assigned
when it was manufactured. It is fixed and cannot be changed. Use this address to access the BACnet Communication Module on a BACnet over Ethernet network.

Testing Network Communication

You can determine whether your PC is properly configured to access the BACnet Communication Module. To test whether your computer is properly addressed to communicate with the BACnet Communication Module, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the PC has Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0 and similar (but not identical) IP Address as the
BACnet Communication Module.
2. Open a DOS window (go to Start button\Programs\Accessories\Command Prompt.)
3. Type “ping 172.16.5.8” at the DOS prompt.
4. Press Enter.
5. Observe response. See Figure 9 for a successful response.
16 IM 1000
Page 17
Figure 9. Successful Ping and Response

Resetting the BACnet Communication Module

All settings that can be changed with the BCM Configuration Tool may be reset to factory defaults with the Reset Button (see Figure 2 for location of the Reset Button on the BACnet Communication Module). If the IP Address or the MAC Address has been lost or forgotten, the BACnet Communication Module can be reset to the default IP Address and Subnet Mask.
All settings from Administrator Settings and/or Communications Interface Settings screens are reset to factory defaults.
To activate the reset function, push and hold the Reset Button for five seconds while the BACnet Communication Module is attached to unit controller and while power is applied to both.
Note: The Power, TX to Unit Controller, and RX from Unit Controller LEDs all blink during
regular operation. After the Reset Button is pushed, the Power LED will be solid green fo r a few seconds and the TX to Unit Controller and RX from Unit Controller LEDs will be blank for a few seconds.
