Getting Started
This section describes the necessary software, tools, and initial tasks that are required for a
successful integration.
Required Software and Tools
The following are required:
•
Tracer BACnet Setup Tool O
OR
R Tracer TU Service Tool
•
A USB cable (for use with Tracer TU)
•
A 1/8 inch (3 mm) flathead screwdriver
What to Do First
It is best practice to perform the following tasks in the order in which they are listed:
•
Set device addresses on the BCI-R rotary switches (see following section).
•
Select either wired or wireless communication using the link select switch on the BCI-R.
•
Configure the BCI-R by using either the Tracer BACnet Setup Tool (BST) or Tracer TU.
–
The default baud rate is 76,800 bps.
–
The default software device ID is the rotary switch address.
–
The device units do not have defaults; the BST or Tracer TU will display the device units of
the controller to which it is connected.
Setting Addresses Using Rotary Switches
There are three rotary switches on the front of the BCI-R controller that are used to define a three-
digit address when the BCI-R is installed on a BACnet communications network. The three-digit
address setting is the rotary switch value. The following figure shows how to set addresses.

Figure 1. Setting rotary switches
Use a 1/8 in. (3 mm) flathead screwdriver
to set rotary switches. Switches rotate
in either direction.
Selecting Wireless Communication
If using an Air-Fi wireless COMM interface (WCI), set the link select switch to IMC as shown in the
following figure. For wiring instructions, refer to the
