1 Introduction
The BASRTP-B is a multi-network router, sharing messages among
BACnet/IP, BACnet Ethernet and MS/TP networks. The router is
configurable via its internal webpage. The unit attaches to a USB port of
your computer and has one isolated MS/TP port and one 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet Auto-MDIX port.
The MS/TP port offers a 3-pin terminal block with a removable plug for
the EIA-485 connection. Through this port, up to 254 devices can be
addressed — as many as 31 full-load devices on the attached segment.
All MS/TP baud rates (as stated in the BACnet standard) are supported.
The Ethernet port offers a shielded RJ-45 connector. Through auto-
negotiation and Auto-MDIX, it automatically matches its duplex setting,
data rate and signal polarity to whatever is needed by the attached
equipment. Thus, only a straight-through CAT5 cable is needed for
hook-up.
The USB port is strictly used to power the BASRTP-B. No
communications is supported via the USB port.
The BASRTP-B features a user-accessible switch to reset the IP address,
subnet mask and gateway address to the factory defaults.
Three LEDs are present: A power LED glows green when proper power
is provided. The Ethernet LED glows green for 100 Mbps operation and
yellow for 10 Mbps and flashes to indicate activity. A green LED flashes
when MS/TP traffic is received.
Each unit complies with Class A radiated and conducted emissions as
defined by EN55022 and CFR 47, Part 15, and is intended for use in non-
residential areas.
