Up to 32 LAN Controllers can be connected to the same Ethernet backbone in
a common Ethernet network. This configuration also allows multiple PCs to
access the system through the Ethernet network.
Connect the controller to the network by connecting a standard 10BaseT
Ethernet cable (CAT 5) to the Ethernet/BACnet port on the controller and to a
port on the network hub or router. (See “Ethernet Settings” later in this guide
for recommended Ethernet Software Settings.)
Note
For reliable operation, use CAT 5 or equivalent Ethernet cables for all
connections. If cables are custom made, they must meet the CAT 5
specification.
