IntesisBox BACnet/IP Server - Modbus TCP Master
 The use of DC power supplies, floating or with the negative terminal connected to
earth. Never use a DC power supply with the positive terminal connected
to earth.
 The use of AC power supplies only if they are floating and not powering any other
device.

4.2 Connect to Modbus TCP

Connect the communication cable coming from the network hub or switch to the ETH port
(Figure 4.1) of IntesisBox. The cable to be used depends on where the IntesisBox is being
connected:
 Connecting directly to a Modbus TCP device:
cable
 Connecting to a hub or switch of the LAN of the building: a straight Ethernet UTP/FTP
CAT5 cable
How to check if there is communication with the Modbus TCP bus is explained in the
LinkBoxBacnet Manual (section 5).

4.3 Connect to BACnet

Connect the communication cable coming from the network hub or switch to the ETH port
(Figure 4.1) of IntesisBox. The cable to be used depends on where the IntesisBox is being
connected:
 Connecting directly to a BACnet/IP device: crossover Ethernet UTP/FTP CAT5 cable
 Connecting to a hub or switch of the LAN of the building: a straight Ethernet UTP/FTP
CAT5 cable
In case there is no response from the BACnet devices to the frames sent by IntesisBox,
check that they are operative and reachable from the network connection used by
IntesisBox. Check the IntesisBox Ethernet interface sending Pings to its IP address using a
PC connected to the same Ethernet network.

4.4 Connect to PC (LinkBoxBacnet)

This action allows the user to have access to configuration and monitoring of the device
(more information can be found in the LinkBoxBacnet User Manual [section 5]). Two
methods to connect to the PC can be used:
 Ethernet: Using the ETH port (Figure 4.1) of IntesisBox. How to check connectivity is
explained in section 4.3.
 Serial cable: To connect the device to the PC the serial cable supplied should be
plugged to the PC console port (Figure 4.1).
The cable is a RS-232 straight cable and its pinout is at explained in Table 4.1.
