To set up the controller through the Comm/Service ports
To set up the controller through the Comm/Service ports
You can communicate with the TV-VAVB3-E2 through a web browser by connecting a computer to one of the
Comm/Service USB ports on the controller, using either the Carrier wireless service adapter or a USB cable.
NOTE You cannot access the Service port by plugging an Ethernet cable into Eth0 or Eth1.
Once you are connected to the network, you can:
•
Access the controller setup pages
•
Address and configure controllers
•
View the controller's Module Status report
•
View/change controller and network settings. Changes take effect immediately.
•
Troubleshoot
•
Use BACnet/Service port to access the i-Vu® application or a touchscreen device. See To communicate
through a BACnet/Service port network (page 88).
To access the controller setup pages and use the Local Network tab, you must first connect to and manually
address one TV-VAVB3-E2. For instructions on connecting, see Addressing the TV-VAVB3-E2 through the
Comm/Service ports (page 16). Navigate to http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1 to access the pages. Then
set up the address on your selected TV-VAVB3-E2 on the Ports tab (page 89).
NOTE The first time you access the controller in the i-Vu® interface, after you have changed settings through the
Service port, be sure to upload the changes to the system database. This will preserve those settings when you
download memory or parameters to the controller.
ModStat tab
This tab provides the controller's Module Status report that gives information about the controller and network
communication status. See Appendix - Module Status field descriptions (page 145).
