Device Parameter
Device Name (Default Value = BASRTP-Bxxxxxx)
The BASrouter’s Device Object Name can be configured in this field. It
is required to be unique throughout the BACnet network. It can be up to
20 characters and defaults to a unique name of the form BASRTP-
BXXXXXX — where the Xs are replaced with the final six characters of
the router’s Ethernet MAC address.
Device Instance
(Default Value = 0)
The router’s device instance is a 22-bit value (0–4,194,302). Do not use
4,194,303 which is reserved by BACnet. Each BACnet device within the
same BACnet internetwork must have a unique device instance. One
must be assigned to the BASRTP-B.
BACnet Ethernet
(0 disables BACnet Ethernet)
Ethernet Network (Default Value = 0)
Most BACnet communication that is carried by Ethernet uses the
BACnet/IP protocol. However, there are still instances in which the
older BACnet Ethernet protocol (ISO 8802-3) is found. The BASRTP-B
allows these two protocols to communicate.
BACnet Ethernet uses Ethernet MAC addresses for station addressing —
unlike BACnet/IP which addresses messages by means of Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses. Each Ethernet MAC address (often called the
physical address) is unique to the Ethernet network adapter. It is
permanently embedded into the adapter during manufacture and cannot
be changed. It is composed of six two-digit hexadecimal numbers (00–
FF). An example of an Ethernet MAC address is:
00-08-A1-10-BD-EB
Each Ethernet network adapter has the ability to store an IP address that
is changeable. This IP address is typically represented as four decimal
values (each is 0–255) separated by dots. Often called the dotted quad
format, an example is:
192.168.92.1
