IM 916-5 • MICROTECH COMMUNICATION MODULE

Configuring the BACnet 

Communication Module

The following section describes how to configure the BACnet 

IP communication module for BAS network integration. Follow 

these instructions to set addressing parameters for the BACnet 

communication module using the unit controller display menu.  

Configuration varies depending on the structure of your 

network and BACnet broadcasting requirements for IP subnets.

NOTE: 

Refer to MicroTech 4 Rebel Applied Unit Controller 

Operation Manual (OM 1303) or MicroTech III Applied 

Air Handling Unit Controller Operation Manual 

(OM 920) for default values and keypad operating 

instructions. Refer to the respective Unit Controller 

Integration Guide for all BACnet objects and other 

network communication information. Se

Reference 

Documents

 for literature descriptions and locations.

BACnet IP Addressing

There are three parameters that must be configured properly 

to establish communication between the unit controller and the 

BACnet IP network: BACnet IP Address, IP Subnet Mask, and 

IP Router Address. See your system integrator for additional 

information regarding BACnet IP addressing. 
The BACnet communication module is DHCP (Dynamic Host 

Configuration Protocol) enabled. See 

Appendix A: BACnet IP 

Networks

 for more information about IP network types.

To Configure the Module using the Unit 

Controller Display Menu:

1.  Navigate to the Enter Password screen if you have 

not already entered a password. If you have entered a 

password, skip to step 3. 

2. 

Enter Password: 6363.

3.  Continue to navigate to the BMS Communications\

BACnet IP Set-Up menu. 

NOTE: 

The IP Setup menu only appears if a BACnet 

communication module installed correctly. If the 

BACnet communication module is installed correctly 

and this menu still does not appear, cycle power to 

the unit controller and repeat the procedure from Step 

3 above. 

4.  Modify the parameters as necessary. See 

Table 3

 for 

details.

5. 

To modify the Given IP Address, Given IP Mask, or Given 

IP Gateway, follow steps a-c below:

a. 

Fully change all four octets of the desired field.

NOTE: 

After entering all four octets of the desired field, the 

cursor should blink in the open space to the right of 

the last character of the octet.

b.  Select Enter by pressing down on the circular knob 

on the unit controller keypad. 

Do not press the 

Back button until Enter has been selected.

c. 

From this screen, use the Back button to navigate 

to the BMS Communications\BACnet IP Set-Up 

menu and change “ApplyIPChgs” from No to Yes.

6. 

Check that the network cable is connected and navigate 

to the IP Setup menu to verify the Actual IP Address. The 

Actual IP Address displays 0.0.0.0 if the network cable 

is not attached. This procedure may take a minute while 

the BACnet communication module powers up.

Configurable Parameters

Table 3

 defines the network parameters of the BACnet 

communication module that must be set using the unit 

controller display menu in order to establish communication 

between the unit controller and the BAS. Change parameters 

as required for your network. 

NOTE: 

To save alteration of these parameters, select 

“ApplyIPChgs” under 

the BMS Communications\

BACnet IP Set-Up menu (see Step 5 from previous 

section).
