2.3.1. Configure the IP config settings
The parameters on the IP config page are used to configure the unique identity of the
BACnet Gateway on the IP (Internet Protocol) network.
Caution:
The unit must use an IP address compatible with both Helvar routers and the
BACnet BMS; for example, 10.254.1.x (255.0.0.0).
1.
Press
, and then select IP config to display the TCP/IP parameters that identify the
BACnet Gateway on the LAN. You can use a specific range of configured IP addresses to
group units in networks or subnets.
o
If necessary, edit the Hostname. This is a
15 character label (letters, numbers, ‘-’ and ‘_’)
assigned to this unit and linked to the IP address.
Default: 435BAC-<last 3 pairs of hardware MAC
address>.
2.
Change the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway according to the applicable local network
policy. The IP address provides a unique identification of the BACnet Gateway in the defined
subnet mask on the IP network. The subnet mask is a configurable range of accessible IP
addresses. The default gateway is used to direct communications to IP addresses that are not
in the defined subnet mask.
Note:
Use the Helvar search tool provided (available from the Homepage >
Support
page) to
detect the 435 Gateway(s) on the IP network. You can also use a BACnet Explorer to
detect the unit on the BACnet/IP network.
3.
Press Save, and then reboot the BACnet Gateway.
The unit restarts (as confirmed by a beep) and loads the Login page.
Caution:
Assign a different IP address to each gateway before networking them. The BACnet
device instance number also requires changing in order to differentiate the gateways
on the BACnet/IP network.
(LAN 4) Subnet 4 = IP address
10.254.1.193 to 10.254.1.254
(Subnet mask 255.255.255.192)
(LAN 1) Subnet 1 = IP address
10.254.1.2 to 10.254.1.63
(Subnet mask 255.255.255.192)
(LAN 5) Subnet 1 = IP address
10.254.5.2 to 10.254.5.254
(Subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
Gateway 10.254.1.1)
Gateway = 10.254.1.1
(LAN 2) Subnet 2 = IP address
10.254.1.65 to 10.254.1.127
(Subnet mask 255.255.255.192)
(LAN 3) Subnet 3 = IP address
