7.2.2 Multiple Connections
•
Network Number
– set up the BACnet network number for the connection. Legal values are
1-65534. Each network number must be unique across the entire BACnet internetwork. . All
devices that are interconnected by the same IP network and that can reach one another through
local IP broadcasts (including local IP broadcasts forwarded by BBMD) should be treated as a
single BACnet network segment, and hence all routing ports connected to this segment should
have the same globally unique network number.
NOTE: Each BACnet network segment, regardless of technology, must have a unique network
number. For example, a single RS-485 MS/TP segment or BACnet/IP subnet, can each be
regarded as a BACnet network segment. All routing ports that connect directly to the same
segment should also assign the same globally unique network number to that segment.
•
Enable
– enable or disable the connection; note that BACnet/IP Primary is always enabled.
7.2.3 BACnet Device
•
Device Instance
and
Device Name
– a BACnet
Router must provide a Device Object. Configure its
name and Instance Number here. Take care to select
a Device Instance Number that is unique across the
entire BACnet internetwork.
•
Device Location
– enter a location for the Device.
The location may not contain any commas.
•
Device Connection
– select which connection to
bond the BACnet device settings.
