Troubleshooting

Follow these procedures if you can control the unit controller 

from the display menu, but unable to communicate from the 

network.

Network Parameters

→  

Verify that network parameters are set correctly as 

shown in 

Table 3

→  

Make sure there are no duplicate devices on the 

network (Device Name and Device ID, for example).

→  

Check the use of the character # at the end of each 

IP setting. There should not be a “space” at the end.

→  

Be aware that the unit controller must be restarted 

when a “Reset Required” message appears. Power 

off/on the unit controller after all settings have been 

configured and then select Apply Changes from the unit 

conroller display menu. 

Network wiring

→  

Check for loose connections and that devices are 

plugged in properly.

→  

Confirm that the link light for each device’s connector 

is on, which indicates that information is capable of being 

sent and received.

Compatibility

→  

Verify the unit controller software application version 

and communication module BSP version. 

Network Communications

→  

Confirm that the DHCP parameter is set to “Off” 

when a static IP address is being used for non-DHCP 

networks.

→  

Check that the defined UDP port, e.g. BAC0, is open 

in the firewall.

→  

Verify if BBMDs are required.  BBMD must be used 

if the BACnet client and BACnet server are located on 

different subnets.  Use the command “tracert” to check 

this. Tracert shows all stations used to forward the 

signal to another segment. See 

Figure 6 

for the result 

of a BBMD network as displayed by using the “tracert” 

command.
