BACnet Information Section
If you have completed the Discovery process (the normal situation), this section will be disabled and will display the current values
for the various parameters. They cannot be changed. However, if you manually add an LMBR-650 to the building, this section will be
available for editing. By default it is Disabled, but if you click
Enabled
, you can edit the values of the parameters.
NOTE:
As with manually adding wireless devices, there is no practical application for manually adding an LMBR at this time.
IPv4 Network Number
– BACnet number for IPv4 communication. The default value is 0 but can be changed. However, all
LMBRs and all profiles in the installation must use the same number if there is a single network controller or the network controller
is not used. If there is more than one network controller, each one will have its own BACnet number. All profiles assigned to routers
and bridges must use the same number that has been configured on the network controller.
IPv6 Network Number
– BACnet number for IPv6 communication. Each LMBR must use a unique number.
Port
– This number must match the number you set in the
Preferences
dialog, accessed from the
Support
tab The default
number is 47808.
Instance Number
– This number must be unique for each individual device in a BACnet network.
Using the Diagnostics Section to Check and View Network Information.
The bottom section of the window provides the ability to check network information for one or more devices in the network.
1. Choose a network test to run. These include:
•
Connection Strength
– Returns the RSSI value and shows signal strength in number of bars.
•
Ping
– Returns the serial number of the device and shows the response time in milliseconds.
•
Hops
– Returns the serial number of the device, the network ID, and the number of devices the signal passes through to reach
the target device.
•
Battery Level
– Returns the serial number, device type and battery level. Room controllers and bridges will display a value of
0% since they have no battery.
•
Last Known Battery Level
– Battery levels of the devices are stored in the room controller, and this diagnostic will show the
battery level that is stored in the room controller. Therefore, to run this test,
select the room controller and not the battery
devices
. Returns the serial number, device type and battery level.
2. Expand the
Area/Rooms
tree and Select one or more areas or rooms. Then expand the
Devices
tree and select either a device
type or individual devices within the device type.
3. Click
Select Devices
. Messages are sent to the devices and the information is displayed once received.
4. Click
Save
if you want to save the results to a text file, for diagnostic purposes.
NOTE:
Battery Devices must be woken up before they will respond to these tests.
RESETTING OR REPLACING AN LMBR-650 IN AN ALREADY COMMISSIONED NETWORK
NOTE:
Resetting an LMBR-650 that has already been discovered using LMCS-100 software has important ramifications, described
below. Wattstopper recommends that you contact support before proceeding with a reset of an already commissioned
LMBR-650.
The border router has a recessed button located near the network and USB ports. You will need a paper clip to press the button.
The reset button allows you to manually set the LMBR-650 to Static IP, or if changed to Static IP to switch back to DHCP, or to reset the
router to the default Network and Channel. To access these functions, first enter “Config” mode by pressing and holding the button for
3 seconds. After three seconds, the White LED will begin to blink. Release the button. At this point the following options are available,
by pressing and releasing the B button to cycle through the choices: If you cycle past your choice, keep pressing until that option is
selected again.
• Option 1: When you first enter Config mode, the Blue LED will display solid. This option will set the router to DHCP.
• Option 2: Press and release the B button once to set the router to Static IP. The Orange LED will display solid to indicate this choice.
NOTE:
As described earlier, you can switch the LMBR-650 to a static IP address from within LMCS-100 software. The LMCS
method allows you to choose the specific IP address, and so Wattstopper recommends using LMCS.
• Option 3: Press and release the B button a second time to exit “Config” Mode without making any changes. The Green LED will
display solid to indicate this choice.
• Option 4: Press and release the B button a fourth time to completely reset the router. The Blue, Yellow, and Green LEDs will all
display solid to indicate this choice. This will set the Network ID and Channel to the default values. In addition to returning the
LMBR-650 to its default setting, this will delete any security keys downloaded to the LMBR-650 if it was connected to a site when
running discovery on LMCS-100 software. For more details, see the following information on resetting or replacing an LMBR-650.
If you select Options 1 through 3, then press and hold the button for 3 seconds to commit to the choice. If you select Option 4, press and
hold the button for 15 seconds. While holding the button, for the first three seconds the white LED will blink and then all the LEDS will
start blinking. After 15 seconds, the LEDS will briefly blink more quickly indicating the LMBR-650 will be reset. Release the button. The
LMBR-650 will then reboot.
NOTE:
If you are on option 4 and press and release the B button without holding it for the 15 seconds, the unit will cycle back to
choice 1, as indicated by the LEDs.
If Replacing or Resetting an LMBR-650
If replacing or resetting an LMBR in a site with only one LMBR, you will have to:
1. Create a brand new site, because this is the only way to get the security keys loaded into the LMBR.
2. Reset ALL devices connected to that LMBR.
