5.2.9 MS/TP Configuration (LDALI-ME204 only)
The BACnet MS/TP protocol can be enabled on the device’s port Port1. To enable it, click
the
BACnet MS/TP
radio button as shown in Figure 55. By default the BACnet MS/TP
port is disabled.
Figure 55: MS/TP Configuration.
The MS/TP protocol settings are displayed in the settings box on the right-hand side as
shown in Figure 55. Mandatory settings are the
MS/TP node number
and the
MS/TP
baud rate.
The MS/TP node number determines the physical address of the device on the
MS/TP channel and must be in the range from ‘0’ to the number configured with the
MS/TP max master
configuration option. It must be unique within the MS/TP channel.
The Baud rate on the MS/TP channel can be set to 9600, 19200, and 38400 Baud.
Important:
All masters on the MS/TP channel must have the same setting for MS/TP max master.
Decreasing the default value 127 of MS/TP max master may reduce latency on the
MS/TP bus.
It is strongly recommended to leave the
MS/TP max info frames
and the
MS/TP max
master
configuration options at their default settings. In any case the
MS/TP max master
number must be high enough to include the highest MS/TP node number of all masters on
the channel. Slave devices may have a higher MS/TP node number than
MS/TP max
master
.
To operate with slow devices on the MS/TP network set the
Network Timing
option to
slow. This increases a number of timeouts, which is needed by some devices, but slows
down network communication. If communication problems occur in standard mode, try
setting the slow mode. For fine-tuning other parameters please refer to Section 9.2.
Note, that BACnet/IP will be disabled, when the MS/TP port is enabled.
5.2.10 E-Mail Configuration
The Web interface provides the e-mail configuration page to set up an e-mail account,
which is used to send e-mails. The content and time when e-mails are sent is configured
through the Configurator software (see Section 7.7.11). The e-mail configuration page is
shown in Figure 56.
In the field for the outgoing e-mail server, enter the SMTP server of your Internet provider.
Typically, the SMTP server port can be left at 25. In the field
Source e-mail address
, enter
the e-mail address of the L-DALI’s e-mail account. In the field
Source e-mail sender name
enter a name that the e-mail will display as the source name. Note, that only ASCII
characters are allowed in the name. If replies shall be sent to another e-mail address, specify
this in the
Reply e-mail address
.
If the provider’s SMTP server requires authentication, enter the required user name and
password. Note, that username/password is supported as well as SSL/TLS authentication
(e.g., for using Hotmail, gmail, or Yahoo!). For older versions of secure connection check
the SMTPS check box.
