Configuring Bacnet Device Instance And Network Number - Carrier i-Vu Open Link Installation And Startup Manual

Installation
Using Port S2
Prerequisite Computer must have a standard serial port.
Make sure that the Port S2 jumper is set for EIA-232.
1
Obtain a standard 9-pin serial cable. There are two different ways to connect the serial cable to Port S2:
2
Connect an S2-DB9 converter (part# S2-DB9) into Port S2. Plug the 9-pin end of the serial cable
○
directly into the DB9 connector of the S2-DB9.
Trim one end of the serial cable to expose the wires to be connected directly to Port S2 of the i-Vu
○
Open Link.
If you are using a trimmed cable, then terminate the TX, RX, and Ground wires of the 9-pin serial cable to
3
Port S2 on the i-Vu Open Link. See table below.
Serial Cable (9 pin)
TX (pin 3)
RX (pin 2)
Ground (pin 5)
Follow steps 4 - 19 above to launch a terminal program and access the Router Configuration screen to
4
set the IP parameters.
Reset the Port S2 jumper to the EIA-485 position.

Configuring BACnet device instance and network number

All BACnet Open controllers must have a unique device instance and name. These BACnet addresses are
automatically generated and usually do not require modification. However, sometimes you need to override
the automatic addressing assignments.
Autogenerated Addressing Scheme:
The i-Vu Open Link's rotary address setting determines the automatic BACnet addressing scheme for the
connected Open network.
Legend
16 = Carrier's BACnet Vendor ID
xx = Router's rotary address (router address)
yy = Open controller's rotary address (MS/TP MAC address)
For the router:
• BACnet Device Instance Number = 1600xx
•
BACnet Device Instance Name = device1600xx
