MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Startup Guide Revision 2.0 INTRODUCTION MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY is an external, high performance Building Automation multi‐protocol gateway that has been preprogrammed to support BACnet® MS/TP, Metasys® N2 by JCI, and LonWorks® . Configurations for the various protocols are stored within the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY and are selectable via DIP switches for fast and easy installation. It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications. This document provides the necessary information to facilitate installation of the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY. BTL Mark – BACnet Testing Laboratory The BTL Mark on the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY is a symbol that indicates to a consumer that a product has passed a series of rigorous tests conducted by an independent laboratory which verifies that the product correctly implements the BACnet features ...

MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Startup Guide Revision 2.0 BACNET/LONWORKS SETUP THROUGH PROTOCESSOR MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Installation steps for the customer 1. The MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY is preprogrammed from factory for the MCS‐MAGNUM it will connect to. If you need to create the configuration please see section 4. 2. Set the A, B, and S DIP Switch banks for field protocol baud rate, Node‐ID/Device Instance, and proper configuration. (See section 2.2) 3. Connect the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY to the Field protocol port and the MCS‐Magnum Ethernet port to the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Ethernet port. (See Section 0) 4. Power up the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY. After power up, the device is installed on BACnet MS/TP, or Metasys N2 or Lonworks 5. The IP address should already be set , however if an IP address change is required refer to Section 4 to run the RUInet utility program to change the IP address. No changes to the configuration file are necessary. Configure the DIP Switches 2.2.1 Setting the Node Address /Device Instance (DIP Switch A0 – A7) for BACnet MS/TP, & Metasys N2 ...
MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Startup Guide Revision 2.0 2.2.2 Setting the Serial Baud Rate (DIP Switch B0 – B3) for BACnet MS/TP & Metasys N2 DIP Switches B0 – B3 can be used to set the serial baud rate to match the baud rate provided by the Building Management System for BACnet MS/TP. Metasys N2 is always defaulted to 9600 baud and the B bank is disabled. Figure 2: B0 – B3 DIP Switches 2.2.2.1 Baud Rate DIP Switch Selection Baud B0 B1 B2 B3 ...
