BACnet router properties 

On the 

BACnet router properties

 page, you can change the following properties: 

 

BACnet routing settings 

 

Color and prime variable caching settings 

 

BACnet Router Options

 

 

Ignore all Reject-Message-to-
Network, Reason=1 
messages

 

Clear to delete and redownload a router if a network's router indicates that the 
network is no longer present (reason=1). 

Select to continue routing messages to a network even if its router indicates that 
the network is no longer present. 

Color/Prime Variable 
Caching

 

 

Disable Color Cache

 

Clear (enable) to improve responsiveness in retrieving colors. 

Select (disable): 

 

To reduce network traffic to third-party (non-color-supporting) devices 

 

If using the i-Vu® Open Router on the controller network, but not as a router 

NOTE  

Selecting this checkbox also disables dead controller alarms. 

Dead Module Timeout

 

After this period (minutes:seconds) of non-response from an Open controller, the 
router sends an alarm to the server. 

 

 

 

BACnet firewall 

Requires v6-02 or later driver 

If this IP controller is accessible from the Internet, you can increase security by enabling its BACnet firewall. When 
enabled, this feature prevents the controller from responding to BACnet messages from unidentified sources and 
allows communication only with IP addresses that you define. These can be all private IP addresses and/or a list 
of IP addresses. Follow the instructions in the i-Vu® interface to set up the BACnet firewall. 

 

 

 

Alarm Store/Forward 

On the 

Alarm Store and Forward

 page, you can change alarm delivery settings for the i-Vu® Open Router used to 

store and forward alarms from a remote dial-up site.
