BACnet PAD routing
Either of the two IP ports can be configured for PAD (Packet Assembling and
Dissassembling) routing to a companion PAD router located on a different subnet. The
values on this page are assigned by the BACnet system engineer.

A BACnet IP PAD router is a special type of router that connects two or more BACnet network
segments that are separated by at least one IP-only router. The PAD router monitors network
traffic for BACnet messages addressed to other subnets and then repackages the message
so that they can pass through IP routers, in effect forming a “tunnel” between the two
network segments. A companion PAD router unpacks and retransmits the message on the
remote BACnet network.
Enable
Select to enable the network. The port block turns green when enabled.
Net
Designates the BACnet network number for the port. Assign network numbers in the
range from 1 to 65534.
Port
Assign a unique UDP port number to each of the enabled IP networks. The default port
number is 47808.
Remote IP
Enter the address of the remote PAD router. If network address translation (NAT)
is used between the local router and the PAD router, contact the network system
administrator for the correct public IP address.
