Table 3: Network Parameter Settings

Parameter

3

Range/Default

Description/Notes

Device Object Name

Up to 17 characters 

Default: Varies

This name must be unique throughout the entire BACnet network.  The last 6 characters of 

the default are the last 6 digits of the MAC Address, which is on a printed sticker affixed to the 

BACnet communication module.

Device Instance Number

0 - 4194302

 Default: 1579312

Device Instance of the BACnet communication module. This must be unique throughout the 

entire BACnet network.

Act IP

If DHCP set to On:

 

Address automatically assigned by 

network

If DHCP set to Off:

 

Address = Given IP

Actual IP Address of the BACnet communication module. This parameter is not changeable. 

Displays 0.0.0.0 if the network is not connected when power is applied to the unit controller.  If 

DHCP is set to On (enabled), the network automatically assigns this address.  If DHCP is set to 

Off (not enabled), the Actual IP Address is set equal to the Given IP Address (Gvn IP) provided 

the network is connected when Apply Changes is set to Yes.

Gvn IP

Default: 127.0.0.1

Given IP Address of the BACnet communication module. The BACnet IP address consists of the 

four-octet IP address followed by the two-octet UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port number. The 

IP address portion of the BACnet/IP address must be unique in the BACnet/IP network segment.

 

Set the four-octet IP Address to match the Static IP Address.

Gvn Msk

Default: 255.255.255.0

Given Subnet Mask of the BACnet communication module. Set the Given Subnet Mask to match 

the Static Subnet Mask Address.

Gvn Gwy

Default: 127.0.0.1

Given Gateway Address of the BACnet communication module. Set the Given Gateway Address 

to match the Static Gateway Address.

Act Msk

If DHCP set to On:

 

Address automatically assigned by 

network

If DHCP set to Off:

 

Address = Given Subnet Mask

Actual Subnet Mask of the BACnet communication module. 

Displays 0.0.0.0 if the network is not connected when power is applied to the unit controller. If 

DHCP is set to On (enabled), the network automatically assigns this address.  If DHCP is set 

to Off (not enabled), the Actual Subnet Mask is set equal to the Given Subnet Mask (Gvn Msk) 

provided the network is connected when Apply Changes is set to Yes.

Act Gwy

If DHCP set to On:

 

Address automatically assigned by 

network

If DHCP set to Off:

 

Address = Given Gateway Address

Actual Gateway Address. Item remains blank if the network is not connected when power 

is applied to the unit controller. If DHCP is set to On, the network automatically assigns this 

address. If DHCP is set to Off, the Actual Gateway Address is set equal to the Given Gateway 

Address (Gvn Gwy) provided the network is connected when Apply Changes is set to Yes.

DHCP

2

Off or On

Default: On

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to 

automatically assign an IP Address. Set to Off if a static IP Address is needed. See 

Appendix A: 

BACnet IP Networks 

for more information.

UDP Port

Default: 47808 (BAC0 hex)

User Datagram Protocol. The UDP Port allows host-to-host communication via the IP network 

and is used to identify the application process in the destination unit.  Only change the UPD Port 

if there are multiple subnets. See network administrator before modification.

Unit Support

English or Metric 

Default: English

Controls the type of units that are passed through BACnet.

NC Dev 1

1

0-4194303 

Default: 0 (no device)

Alarm Recipient Device 1. This is the device instance of the BACnet workstation or device that 

will receive the alarm notification.  Use this in place of the Recipient List in the Notification Class.

NC Dev2

1

0-4194303 

Default: 0 (no device)

Alarm Recipient Device 2. This is the device instance of the BACnet workstation or device that 

will receive the alarm notification.  Use this in place of the Recipient List in the Notification Class.

BACnetBSP

Varies

Basic Support Package. Indicates the communication module firmware version. The BSP is 

read-only.

1. Parameter must be configured via the unit controller display menu.

2. The BACnet communication module defaults to DHCP-enabled.  See your system integrator for additional information regarding BACnet IP networks with DHCP 

functionality.

3. The parameters shown in boldface text are required for minimum network configuration.

NOTE: 

If the unit controller application software requires a 

field update, the network configuration parameters 

revert to their default values. Please contact the 

Applied Air Handling Customer Support Group at 

763-553-5330 for assistance with upgrading the unit 

controller application.
