While rebooting, the thermostat will display "DP" icon in the lower right corner to indicate it is in the
process of searching and connecting to the AP. Once the "DP" stops flashing, the thermostat has
successfully connected to Wi-Fi access point. After reboot of the thermostat, the new Infrastructure
mode with new IP settings will be used. The thermostat will now be connected to the local Wi-Fi
network AP selected in configuration screen and will not show up as an access point itself any longer. If
you are unsure of the thermostat's IP address, it could be viewed through the Engineering Menu in
items (IP-1) for the first octet, (IP-2) for the second octet, (IP-3) for the third, and (IP-4) for the fourth
octet of the IP address, or if you have access to the Wi-Fi access point, its "statistics" or "connected
devices" web page will show the BASstat BW2's IP address as well as MAC address (the same
address in Engineering Menu items Phy1, Phy2, and Phy3 and the printed MAC on the back of the
thermostat Wi-Fi module (outlined in blue above).
Reset Settings
The BASstat will store configuration in the event of power loss. If configuration fails or the thermostat
needs to be configured to use a different Wi-Fi access point, the thermostat must be reset and
reconfigured. There are 2 reset settings options for the Wi-Fi thermostat:
Boot will restore Wi-Fi communication parameters to default, but it will maintain control algorithm
settings. Select (boot) engineering menu item and press MODE to confirm.
Reset will restore all values to default and can be selected from engineering menu (rSt).
Foreign Device Registration (FDR)
Communication across IP subnets requires a Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) device or support
for Foreign Device Registration (FDR) feature. The BASstat supports the FDR feature to register with a
remote BBMD which could be a BACnet client or a BMS headend. To communicate with BACnet clients
across subnets, the BAST-421C-BW2 can do FDR registration with a remote BBMD. The BACnet
BBMD feature requires a BACnet device with BBMD capability, such as a BACnet router or other, to be
installed and configured on the network. BBMD allows discovery of all BACnet/IP devices in the IP
subnet instead of just the FDR device.
Select As Foreign Device.
The BBMD IP is the address of the BBMD device on the remote network. Enter the address of
the BBMD with which the BAST-421C-BW2 will perform Foreign Device Registration (FDR) if
there is no local BBMD device in the same subnet as the BAST-421C-BW2 providing
communication to the remote subnet.
Enter the UDP port for BBMD.
