For MS/TP communications, connect the EIA-485
wiring to –A and +B terminals on the backplate (see
the relevant model's installation guide). For Ethernet
IP, and Foreign Device communications (on relevant
"E" models), plug an Ethernet cable directly into the
RJ-45 modular jack on the back of the FlexStat.
To set protocol and parameters for BACnet
communications, select Configure, and then press:
1. Up/Down to move among entries.
2. Enter to select.
3. Right/Left to move among value fields.
4. Restart the FlexStat for the new protocol to
become Active. (See the Device menu.)
NOTE: Even if MS/TP is the only option in
firmware R2.0.0.6 and later, CONFIGURE
MUST FIRST BE SELECTED before any
of the values can be changed! Otherwise
the values are read only.
Only one protocol can be enabled at any time. The
IP/Ethernet modes do not serve as routers for the
MS/TP connection.
For MS/TP EIA-485 communications, the Max
Master is the highest MAC address a device will
attempt to locate when polling for master devices on
the local network. To avoid possible communication
issues with the network or a computer connected
through a KMD-5576 USB Communicator, the Max
Master number should be the lowest number
needed for that network.

Max Info Frames (view only) is the maximum
number of information frames (data packets) that
a controller may send out before it must pass the
token.
To communicate with a KMD-5576 through the data
port at the bottom of the case, IP/Ethernet-enabled
FlexStat models in one of the Ethernet or IP modes
must (temporarily) be set for MS/TP mode (and
restarted)! (See Resetting the FlexStat on page
For IP and IP Foreign Device communications,
consult with the system administrator for the
appropriate settings for the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, Gateway, and UDP Port.
Ethernet communications are essentially plug-and-
play, and the MAC address is not changeable.

(Advanced) Date/Time

DATE: APRIL 11 2009
TIME: 1:43:59 PM
UTC OFFSET: 300
DST ENABLE: TRUE
DST AUTO: TRUE
DST START:
>2ND SUN MAR
NOTE: When a FlexStat is powered up after
losing the RTC (Real Time Clock) time, it
will revert to the default time and date of
January 1, 2000, 12:00:00 AM.
For areas that observe DST (Daylight Saving Time),
select True/On for DST ENABLE. The DST period is
currently the second Sunday of March through the
first Sunday of November, but these dates can be
changed in the menu if the official period changes or
if the installed location needs a schedule adjustment
for better operation.
NOTE: An issue can occur if a FlexStat has been
unpowered long enough for it to lose its
RTC timekeeping during the period DST
is in effect AND a time synchronization
command is sent from BACstage or
TotalControl to the FlexStat. The time will
be restored to the correct time and date.
However, the FlexStat will assume that this
time is non-DST. Within about one minute
after the initial time synchronization
(during DST months), the device time will
reset to DST mode, and the device time will
move one hour ahead. This will affect the
displayed time on the LCD display as well
