2.5 BMS Network Settings: MAC Address, Device Instance and Baud Rate
2.5.1 BACnet MS/TP (FPC-N34): Setting the MAC Address for BMS Network
•
Only 1 MAC address is set for ProtoNode regardless of how many devices are connected to
ProtoNode.
•
Set the BACnet MS/TP MAC addresses of the ProtoNode to a value between 1 to 127 (MAC
Master Addresses); this is so that the BMS Front End can find the ProtoNode via BACnet auto
discovery.
NOTE: Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address from 128 to 255. Addresses from 128 to 255 are
Slave Addresses and can not be discovered by BMS Front Ends that support auto discovery of
BACnet MS/TP devices.
