3.5 BMS Network Settings: MAC Address, Device Instance and Baud Rate
3.5.1 BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Setting the MAC Address for BMS Network
•
Only 1 MAC Address is set for ProtoNode regardless of how many devices are connected to
ProtoNode.
•
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC Address of the ProtoNode to a value between 1 to 127 (Master
MAC Address); this is so that the BMS front end can find ProtoNode via BACnet Auto-Discovery.
NOTE: Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address of the ProtoNode to a value 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.
•
Set “A” bank DIP switches A0 – A7 to assign a MAC Address to the ProtoNode for BACnet
MS/TP.
•
Refer to
for the complete range of MAC Addresses and DIP switch settings.
NOTE: When using Metasys N2 and Modbus TCP/IP, the A Bank of DIP switches are disabled and
not used. They should be set to OFF.
