To connect the i-Vu® XT Router to the Ethernet
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Gig-E Ethernet port.
If your system has multiple routers that reside on different IP subnets, you must set up one router on each IP
subnet as a BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD).
Every subnet with a router must have a BBMD configured in order for broadcasts from routers on that subnet to
reach the rest of the routers on the network.
NOTES
•
The i-Vu® Standard or Plus application - If the i-Vu® web server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the
routers, the internal router must be assigned a routable IP address and configured as a BBMD.
•
The i-Vu® Pro application - If the i-Vu® Pro server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the routers, you
must register it as a foreign device to a router acting as a BBMD device.
Use the
BBMD Configuration Tool
to:
•
Write/read the
Broadcast Distribution Table
(BDT) of each BBMD device
•
Allow controllers on one subnet to communicate with controllers on other subnets
•
Enable the i-Vu® application to see, upload, or configure controllers on different subnets
To wire to a BACnet/ARCNET network
1
Turn
off
the i-Vu® XT Router's power.
2
Check the communications wiring for shorts and grounds.
3
Connect the communications wiring to
Port S1
’
s screw terminals labeled
Net +
,
Net -
, and
Shield
.
NOTE
Use the same polarity throughout the network segment.
4
If the router has a
Port S1 Configuration
rotary switch, set it to 2.
5
If the i-Vu® XT Router is at either end of a network segment, set the port's
End of Net
switch to
Yes
.
NOTE
The router’s
End of Net
switch applies network termination and bias. See the
Open Controller Network
Wiring Guide.
6
Turn on the router's power.
7
To verify communication with the network, get a Module Status report in the i-Vu® interface for a router on
the ARCNET network.
NOTE
This step requires that you have discovered and uploaded the router in the i-Vu® application.
