6.1.1.2 BACnet MS/TP: Setting the MAC Address BACnet Network
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoAir regardless of how many light panels are connected to
ProtoAir.
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC address of the ProtoAir to a value between 1 to 127 (MAC Master
Addresses); this is so that the BMS Front End can find the ProtoAir via BACnet discovery.
NOTE: Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address from 128 to 255
. Addresses from 128 to 255 are
Slave Addresses and can not be discovered by BMS Front Ends that support auto discovery of
BACnet MS/TP devices.
