The MATRIX Router is a full-featured BACnet router that directs messages between MS/TP, BACnet/IP
(Annex J) and BACnet/Ethernet (8802-3) networks. Compliant to the BACnet standard (ASHRAE 135-
2004), the MATRIX Router provides users with the ability to directly monitor and control BACnet system
operations with or without an installed building controller solution.
Within the MATRIX Router product family, several variants exist in which one variant may provide
additional functionality over another. For example, MATRIX-BBO is a single port BACnet router without
BBMD capabilities that provides simple routing of BACnet packets for small, enclosed sites. Table 1-1
provides a breakout of all MATRIX BACnet Router products.
