Gateway Configuration
Protocol configuration is made at the factory, prior to final testing. Baud rates are adjusted to the
following values by default.
Table 3: Baud Rates
Protocol Default Baud Rates
BACnet MS/TP 38.4 kbps
BACnet / IP 10BaseT
Johnson N2 9.6 kbps
LonWorks 38.4 kbps
For BACnet/IP, BACnet/MSTP and Johnson N2 applications, it is necessary to establish the
modules network address parameters in order access it. Address assignments can be configured
at the factory or Nortec can provide instructions to modify the address settings in the field.
LonWorks networks can automatically detect network address parameters and do not need
further configuration.
Network Integration
LonWorks.xif file
To facilitate the integration of a LonWorks unit within a network, it may be desirable to obtain an
External Interface File (XIF). Files of type .xif are used to convey the resources, specific objects
and data types which a LonWorks device possesses. The .xif file allows a network integrator to
simulate the presence of a networked humidifier even if it is not yet physically connected to the
network. In fact, if the integrator has the .xif files of all network devices, a complete system could
be simulated and configured off-line. Once the configuration is done, the integrator's software tool
can be connected to the actual system and the configuration information can be downloaded.
