It is powered from a 24 VAC/VDC (± 10%) source. Its half-wave rectified power supply allows sharing of power with other half-wave devices. There are two ports on the unit — one Ethernet and one EIA-485. The optically-isolated EIA-485 serial port allows for connection to either 2-wire or 3-wire MS/TP networks using a removable 5-pin terminal block. Up to 31 full-load or 62 half-load EIA-485 devices can share the serial bus at data rates between 9.6 and 115.2 kbps. Internal jumpers provide 120Ω termination and bias. These jumpers can be removed for mid-span installations. The Ethernet port offers a shielded RJ-45 connector. Through auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX, it automatically matches connections to the attached equipment. Thus, either CAT5 straight-through or crossover cable can be used to attach to the BACnet/IP network at either 10 or 100 Mbps. MS/TP slave devices do not participate in token passing but can be made assessable throughout the complete MS/TP address range using either Manual Slave Address Binding or Automatic Slave Discovery. Once they are known, the BASrouterLX functions as their proxy. A resident web server allows for commissioning, and troubleshooting via a standard web browser. A reset switch is provided on the router to return the unit to the factory default IP and password settings. Five LEDs are provided. The power LED indicates that proper power is being provided. Two Ethernet LEDs indicate link status, data activity, data rate and duplex. Two EIA-485 LEDs indicate transmission and reception of data. Power Input 24 VAC/VDC 10 VA half-wave regulated design allows power sharing with other half-wave devices. Ethernet 10/100 Mbps Ethernet with auto-negotiation and Auto-MDIX. Protocols supported include HTTP, IP, UDP, TCP, and BACnet/IP. USB Connection for future use MS/TP 3-wire isolated EIA-485 connection with support for 2-wire non-isolated devices Power LED Power OK indicator MS/TP LEDs Monitor MS/TP activity Reset IP Switch returns BASrouterLX to factory default IP and password settings.

You can edit it to be up to 20 characters. This value must be unique throughout the entire BACnet network. By default this value is unique by using the device’s ethernet MAC address in the device name. Device Instance 0 The router device instance is a 22-bit decimal value (0–4,194,302). This value must be unique throughout the BACnet network. Device Description If you wish, enter a brief description. This entry is optional. Device Location If you wish, specify a location for the device. This entry is optional. BACnet Ethernet Parameter Default Value Description BACnet Ethernet Network 0 16-bit decimal value (1–65534). Each BACnet network, regardless of technology, must have a unique network number, including BACnet Ethernet. By retaining the default value of 0, BACnet Ethernet routing is disabled — but not BACnet/IP routing. BACnet/IP Parameters Default Value Description BACnet/IP UDP Port 1 BAC0 16-bit hex value (0–FFFF) is set to BAC0 as the default value and should be used. All BACnet/IP devices on the same BACnet network must have the same UDP port assignment. For other assignments choose ports in the range from BAC1 to BACF while verifying that these ports are available. BACnet/IP Network 1 1 16-bit decimal value (1–65534). Each BACnet network, regardless of technology, must have a unique network number. It is recommended that all subnets of the same BACnet/IP network be given the same BACnet network number as well. IP Address 192.168.92.68 IP address in dotted decimal format. Select a valid address in the range from 0.0.0.1 through 255.255.255.254. IP Subnet 255.255.255.0 The default value is 255.255.255.0 in the dotted decimal format. All devices on the same subnet which communicate via BACnet/IP should use the same subnet mask. IP Gateway 192.168.92.1 IP Gateway address in dotted decimal format. Select a valid address in the range from 0.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.254. MS/TP Parameters Default Value Description MS/TP MAC Address 0 Decimal value (0–127) represents the MAC address of the router’s MS/TP port. Lower MAC address numbers are preferred. MS/TP Network 2001 16-bit decimal value (1–65535). Each BACnet network, regardless of technology, must have a unique network number. Max Masters 127 This 8-bit decimal value (1–127) represents the highest master MAC address in the MS/TP network. If the highest value MAC address is unknown or if additional devices are to be added in the future above the current highest MAC address, use the default setting of 127. Max Info Frames 100 This is the maximum number of messages (1–100) that can be routed onto the MS/TP network by the router per token pass. Values above 20 are typical. MS/TP Baud Rate 38400 The baud rate of the MS/TP network can be 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800 or 115200 bps. All MS/TP devices on the same MS/TP network must use the same baud rate. Auto-bauding devices will set their baud rates to that of the BASrouterLX. MS/TP Tolerance Lenient Affects the degree to which interoperability with devices is successful. Lenient option causes less efficient traffic but optimises interoperability. Note: To disable BACnet/IP functionality on the router, set values for BACnet/IP UDP Port 1 and BACnet/IP Network 1 on the Setup page along with the Secondary BACnet/IP UDP Port and Secondary BACnet/IP Network on the NAT page under the Advanced tab to 0.DS-BASRTBX0-AC1 Data Sheet – BASrouterLX 6 Setup — Setting Date and Time Setup — Username and Password Setup — Firmware Upload Setup — Configure Upload/Download Set the Year, Month and Day as well as the Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

Advanced — Network Address Translation (NAT) Parameters Default Value Description Secondary BACnet/IP UDP Port 0000 Enter secondary UDP port as a 16-bit hex value (0-FFFF) when operating with two BACnet/IP networks. In this case use BAC1 if it is available. Secondary BACnet/IP Net 0 Assign a network number unique from all other BACnet networks. Public IP Address 0.0.0.0 If the BASrouterLX is being accessed through a NAT router then you’ll need to enter the public IP address of the NAT router here. If not, leave this value at the default setting of 0.0.0.0.DS-BASRTBX0-AC1 Data Sheet – BASrouterLX 8 Advanced — Slave Proxy Parameters Default Value Description Slave Proxy Enable Off When enabled, the router will proxy MS/TP slave devices for clients. Slaves can be discovered (when Auto Slave is enabled) and you can also manually enter information about the slaves. When Auto Slave is disabled, MS/TP slaves must be manually configured. Auto Slave Enable Off When enabled, MS/TP slaves will be automatically discovered — if Slave Proxy has first been enabled. Auto Slave Table This table lists the slaves that have been automatically discovered. To view the table, click View Auto Slaves. Manual Slave Proxy Entry Enter the MAC address, Device Instance, Vendor ID and Max APDU for each slave device and then click Apply. Manual Slave Table This table lists the slaves that have been manually entered.

These entries will appear in the Broadcast Distribution Table. Up to 50 entries can be made. Broadcast Distribution Mask 255.255.255.255 Use the default setting in almost all cases. If the IP router can pass broadcast messages, enter the same mask as the IP router. Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT) This table lists the IP addresses and broadcast distribution masks of all the other BBMDs located on the network. Entries can be deleted by entering the entry number and clicking on Delete Entry No. button. Advanced — Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT)DS-BASRTBX0-AC1 Data Sheet – BASrouterLX 9 Advanced - MS/TP Backbone MS/TP backbone allows BACnet communication to occur in some special cases, for example when two routers are connected via MS/TP. The BACnet/IP devices on either side of the routers in this case have no idea of the MS/TP link in between and this can result in the messages being dropped because of smaller size of the Max APDU on the MS/TP side. Enabling this feature allows the BACnet/IP devices to work properly. Advanced - Broadcast I-Am In normal operation, the router forwards broadcast I-Am messages received from the BACnet/IP side to the BACnet/MSTP side. For MS/TP devices with small memory, this may cause an issue if they receive a flood of I-Am messages. When this feature is enabled, the router does not forward the broadcast I-Am messages to the MS/TP side. Advanced - Whitelist This page can be used to restrict BACnet/IP traffic. Once the Whitelist feature is enabled, only the devices whose IP address is added are allowed access.Next >
