Device properties page
The Device page identifies the BAC-5051E router for the Local Area Network (LAN). The IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway values are supplied by the IT department
system administrator.
The Device page also identifies the router as a BACnet device and sets BACnet
communication properties. The default device instance for the router is 5051.
Note:
Once the window is saved, the router will use the new settings and will require you to log in
at the new address. If the router is not on the same subnet as the network gateway router,
it will not function correctly.
Note:
The Device Instance on this page identifies the BAC-5051E router as a BACnet device but
not KMD controllers as BACnet devices. See the topics
