GETTING STARTED
To get connected to your S.A.G.E. unit, use one of the following two methods:
Connect Automatically Using a DHCP-enabled Router
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to the S.A.G.E. unit, and the other
into a DHCP-enabled router. Ensure your computer is connected to the same router
(either Ethernet or Wi-Fi).
2.
Ensure your S.A.G.E. unit is powered on.
3.
Use your BACnet software of choice to discover the S.A.G.E. device.
Connect manually using a direct Ethernet connection
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to the S.A.G.E. unit, and the other
directly into your computer’s Ethernet adaptor.
2.
Ensure your S.A.G.E. unit is powered on.
3.
On your computer, set your connected Ethernet adaptor’s IP address to “192.168.1.2”
4.
Use your BACnet software of choice to discover the SAGE device. By default, the
SAGE device will bind to address “192.168.1.5” (Note: It may take up to 15 seconds for
the device to appear on network after bootup.)
Network Troubleshooting
1.
If your BACnet software is having trouble discovering the device, try an alternate
connection method. Verify each step carefully. If it is still not responding, try rebooting
the unit or using the reset button to restore the default memories.
2.
The unit’s network configuration can be reset to factory default by holding the reset
button in for at least 2 seconds and then releasing. This will clear all configured IP
settings and reset the unit to preferring a DHCP-assigned IP address, but will fall back
to a known address (192.168.1.5) if no DHCP-router is detected (in the case of a direct
connection, for example).
3.
The unit’s entire configurable memory can be factory reset by holding the reset button
in for at least 10 seconds and then releasing. This will put the unit into manufacturing
mode until configured otherwise. In this mode, the unit can only be manually connected
to (method 2) until the 5-flash cycle has finished. When the LED is solid green, reboot
the unit, and then automatic connection (method 1) will be possible.
4.
Note: If a user configured BACnet object “DHCP CNFG” to disabled, automatic
connection (method 1) will be impossible. Holding the reset button in for 2 seconds will
recover this state.
5.
Note: If a user configured BACnet objects “IP Address CNFG”, “Subnet Mask CNFG”, or
“Gateway CNFG”, both automatic and manual connections may be impossible. Holding
the reset button in for 2 seconds will recover this state.
