Using
the
BB2
7030
as
a
BACnet
Router
You do not actually need to do more than the minimum configuration mentioned above. If the
BACnet Router :: Remote Networks :: Configured page is left blank, the BB2-7030 will use
Who-Is-Router messages to “learn” the network. You have the option of pre-configuring the
router. This will save a little bit of time when the router first boots up, but will normally not
impact performance overall.
Enter the known remote network numbers and the ports via which they may be reached. The Info
strings are strictly informational and have no bearing on functionality.
The router's address is optional. If not given here, it will be searched for on the network using
Who-Is-Router. You may enter the remote router's address as an MS/TP MAC address, or an
IP address optionally with port number. If no port number is given, the BB2-7030's own local
port number will be used. IP should be given in the form of 192.168.1.199:47808 (for example)
or just 192.168.1.199.
It should be noted that even if you do enter the router's address here, it will be replaced in the
event an I-Am-Router message is received for the given network number but having a different
router address.
