BACnet internetwork. The router is configurable via its internal webpage. The BASRT-B comes in a metal case, is DIN-rail mounted and is powered from a 24 VAC/VDC source. It has one optically isolated MS/TP port and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Auto-MDIX port.
Connectors 3-pin (MS/TP) Pin Assignments (Also displayed on product label) Figure 1 — 3-pin Connector RJ-45 (MDI Ethernet) Pin Assignments 1 TD + 3 RD + 2 TD – 6 RD – (All other pins are unused.) Figure 2 — RJ-45 Connector USB Mini B Connector (Aux) This connector is only used for firmware upgrades.
3 Power The BASRT-B requires 24 VAC or 24 VDC (see Figure 6) while drawing no more than 4 VA of power. The recommended conductor size is 16–18 AWG. COM is directly connected to zero volts and the chassis is DC isolated from zero volts. Input connections are reverse-polarity protected.

WARNING: Devices powered from a common AC source could be damaged if a mix of half- wave and full-wave rectified devices exist. If you are not sure of the type of rectifier used by another device, do not share the AC source with it. Figure 7 —...
For MS/TP devices that use a power source separate from the BASRT-B, see Figure 9 for proper 2-wire bus connections and Figure 10 for proper 3-wire bus connections. Figure 9 — 2-wire MS/TP Bus with Separate Power Sources Figure 10 — 3-wire MS/TP Bus with Separate Power Sources...

5 Operation MS/TP Port The MS/TP port uses an optically isolated EIA-485 transceiver connected to a 3-pin removable connector (Figure 1). The transceiver + and – lines tie to + and – pins of the connector. The SC pin ties to the transceiver ground. You MUST connect the SC pin to the MS/TP segment signal common —...
120 Ω — consistent with the BACnet standard. If the BASRT-B is not installed at the end of a segment, remove all the jumpers and install 120 Ω at the far end of the bus.

After entering the router’s IP address into your browser’s address field, you will see the Authentication Screen of Figure 14. The default value of both the User Name and Password is admin Figure 14 — Router Authentication Screen After successfully logging in, the Router Configuration Page initially appears with the default values as shown below.
1–65534 (0 and 65535 are reserved). If the BACnet Ethernet network value is left at its default value of 0, the BACnet Ethernet function within the BASRT-B will be disabled. Also, to prevent erratic traffic due to message loops, an IP subnet UM-BASRTB00-AA1...
IP Address (Default Value = 192.168.92.68) The IP address of the router can be 1.0.0.1–223.255.255.254. A private address is usually assigned to the BASRT-B. IP Subnet (Default Value = 24) This value (0–31 in the “slash” notation) is the number of bits with a “1” in the mask. The default value of 24 corresponds to 255.255.255.0 in the dotted decimal format.
MAC address of any master, and all masters use sequential MAC addresses starting with 1 Since many BACnet devices do not allow this parameter to be changed, leave the BASRT-B at the default value. Max Info Frames (Default Value = 100) This is the maximum number of messages that can be routed onto the MS/TP network by the router per token pass.

To deal with subnets, or routed IP networks, a BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) must be used. You may deploy the BASRT-B in a situation in which BACnet communication is confined to just one IP subnet. In such a case, advanced configuration is normally not needed. But if you are dealing with more than one IP subnet, you will need the BBMD functionality offered in the advanced configuration screen shown in Figure 16.

(FDR), the screen shown in Figure 18 appears (unless you have not checked the BBMD Enable box). This screen will report all devices that have registered with the BASRT-B as Figure 18 — Foreign Device Foreign Devices and how long they will remain registered unless Registrations a re-registration occurs.
Status Screen The Status Screen depicted in Figure 19 reports the traffic of the various protocols handled by the BASRT-B including the number of messages transmitted and received for each network. Packet counts only increment for protocols in use. “BIP 1” is the primary BACnet/IP port and “BIP 2”...
