Controller Set-up

The BACnet BTL or LonWorks options utilize an additional hardware component. Protocol
configuration is completed at the factory, prior to final testing. It may be necessary to configure
the address parameters in the field.

BACnet IP systems will require a static IP address to communicate on the network.
BACnet MS/TP systems require both a device instance and a baud rate to be set.
LonWorks systems automatically detect network address parameters and do not require
configuration.

modifications in the field, Contact Nortec Technical Services for further detail.

Take care when adjusting switches to ensure the settings are entered as intended. Common
settings are tabulated in
