i-Vu Open Link
Using Port S2
Prerequisite
Computer must have a standard serial port.
1
Make sure that the Port S2 jumper is set for
EIA-232
.
2
Obtain a standard 9-pin serial cable. There are two different ways to connect the serial cable to
Port S2
:
○
Connect an S2-DB9 converter (part# S2-DB9) into Port S2. Plug the 9-pin end of the serial cable
directly into the DB9 connector of the S2-DB9.
○
Trim one end of the serial cable to expose the wires to be connected directly to
Port S2
of the i-Vu
Open Link.
3
If you are using a trimmed cable, then terminate the
TX
,
RX
, and
Ground
wires of the 9-pin serial cable to
Port S2
on the i-Vu Open Link. See table below.

4
Follow steps 4 - 19 above to launch a terminal program and access the
Router Configuration
screen to
set the IP parameters.
5
Reset the Port S2 jumper to the EIA-485 position.
6
Cycle the i-Vu Open Link's power to accept the DIP switch settings.
Configuring BACnet device instance and network number
All BACnet Open controllers must have a unique device instance and name. These BACnet addresses are
automatically generated and usually do not require modification. However, sometimes you need to override
the automatic addressing assignments.
Autogenerated Addressing Scheme:
The i-Vu Open Link's rotary address setting determines the automatic BACnet addressing scheme for the
connected Open network.
Legend
16 = Carrier's BACnet Vendor ID
xx = Router's rotary address (router address)
yy = Open controller's rotary address (MS/TP MAC address)
For the router:
•
BACnet Device Instance Number = 1600xx
•
BACnet Device Instance Name = device1600xx
