MCS-Bacnet-Router2 

REVISION 2

When selecting a protocol on a communication port, the protocol’s communication parameters are displayed 

in a box on the right-hand side. To save the settings of the currently opened protocol, click the 

Save Settings 

button. Pressing 

Get Settings 

retrieves the current settings from the device.

4.3.4 

IP Configuration

The TCP/IP configuration is done under the Ethernet port tab as shown in Figure 9. The mandatory IP settings, 

which are needed to operate the device, are marked with a red asterisk (IP address, netmask, gateway). 

The 

Enable DHCP 

checkbox switches between manual entry of the IP address, netmask, and gateway 

address, and automatic configuration from a DHCP server.

Hostname 

and 

Domainname 

are optional entries and can be left empty. For some DHCP configurations it 

may be necessary to enter a hostname. Please contact your system administrator on how to configure DHCP 

to acquire an IP address. Further, you can configure up to 3 Domain Name Servers. Currently these entries 

are not used.

The device comes configured with a unique MAC address. This address can be changed in order to clone the 

MAC address of another device. Please contact your system  administrator to avoid MAC address conflicts.
The device can be configured to synchronize its clock with NTP time. Enter the IP address of a primary and, 

optionally, a secondary NTP server. The device will use NTP as a time source if the time sync source in the 

system configuration page is set to 

NTP 

(see Section 4.2.1). The field 

NTP status 

below the NTP server 

settings displays the current NTP synchronization status (

out-of-sync

, or 

in-sync

).

If the device is operated with a 10 Mbit/s-only hub, the link speed should be switched from 

Auto Detect 

to 

10Mbps/Half-Duplex

. With modern 100/10 Mbit/s switches, this setting can be left at its default.

Other standard protocols that are bound to the Ethernet interface are FTP, Telnet, and  HTTP (Web server). 

By deselecting the checkbox, those protocols can be individually disabled. The standard UDP/TCP ports can 

be changed in the respective protocol settings. An example for the FTP server is shown for FTP in Figure 10. 

The FTP server is used for instance to update the firmware (see Section 7.1). Note that HTTP for the Web 

server can only be disabled on the console interface or by using the device configuration of the Configurator.
