Device Configuration
The device configuration pages allow viewing and changing the device settings of the LIP- ME201. Here are
some general rules for setting IP addresses, port numbers, and time values:
•
An empty IP address field disables the entry.
•
An empty port number field sets the default port number.
•
An empty time value field disables the time setting.
4.3.1
System Configuration
The system configuration page is shown in Figure 6. This page allows configuring the device’s system time
and other system settings. The
TCP/IP Configuration
link is a shortcut to the Ethernet port configuration.
Follow that link to change the IP settings of the device.
The time sync source can be set to
auto
,
manual
,
NTP
,
BACnet
. In the
auto
mode, the device switches
to the first external time source that is discovered. Possible external time sources are NTP, BACnet. The option
manual
allows setting the time manually in the fields
Local Time
and
Local Date
. In
manual
mode, the
device does not switch to an external time source. Note, that if
NTP
is selected, the NTP servers have to be
configured on the IP Configuration page (see Section 4.2.4).
The time zone offset must be defined independently of the time source. It is specified as the offset to GMT in
hours and minutes (e.g., Vienna/Austria is +01:00, New York/USA is
-06:00). For setting the daylight saving time (DST) predefined choices are offered for Europe and USA/
Canada. DST can be switched off completely by choosing
none
or set manually for other regions. In that
case, start and end date of DST must be entered in the fields below.
The next section on the page allows to configure the device’s earth position. This setting defines the longitude,
latitude and elevation of the device. The latitude and longitude are entered as degrees, minutes, and seconds.
The altitude is entered in meters height above sea level. This setting is used for an astronomical clock.
For fixed locations such as a building, the position can be entered on this page.
The CSV delimiter setting can be ignored on the MCS-BACNET-ROUTER2.

4.2.2 Backup and Restore
A configuration backup of the LIP-ME201 device can be downloaded via the Web
interface. Click the backup link as shown in Figure 7 to start the download. The LIP-
ME201 device assembles a single file including all required files. A file requestor dialog
allows specifying the location where the backup file shall be stored.
To restore the device settings, simply select a previously generated backup file in the
Restore Configuration
section of the page by clicking the button next to the
Filename
field. Then press the
Restore
button.
The backed up configuration data consists of:
