Using the GUI to set up the E8950 IP address for use on your network
1. Access the GUI according the instructions in the “Accessing the Graphical User
Interface (GUI)” section. To set IP address parameters, click the button labeled
“Diagnostics and Debugging.”
The Diagnostics screen appears.
2. Have the desired IP settings ready in advance (contact the system administrator).
IP parameters for use with BACnet IP are static, not dynamic.
3. Set the IP address for use on the BACnet/IP network:
a. From the navigation tree (left column) on the GUI, click on Setup and then
Network Settings to enter the Edit IP Address Settings menu.
b. Enter the desired IP address in the N1_IP_Address field (in the format xxx.xxx.
xxx.xxx)
c. If necessary, change the Subnet Mask by entering the appropriate new value in
the N1_Netmask field
Using the GUI to Set the E8950 Internal Network Number or the Device_ID
Offset
Access the GUI according the instructions in the “Accessing the Graphical User
Interface (GUI)” section.
The home screen on the GUI shows the current values used for the offset used to
assign Device_IDs in discovery mode and the network number assigned to the
internal virtual network used by the E8950 to manage the Modbus devices attached.
The offset used to assign Device_IDs in discovery mode is the variable labeled BN_
Node_Offset. Enter a different value here and click submit. The new value is first used
at the next power-up or system restart. Valid Device_ID numbers range from 1 to
4194303. Since the numbers assigned during discovery are the sum of the Offset and
the Modbus address (which can be any value from 1-255), the Offset values entered in
the GUI must be less than 4194057.
The internal virtual network used by the E8950 to manage the Modbus devices
attached is the variable labeled BN_Network_Nr. Enter a different value here and
click submit. Valid network numbers range from 1 to 65534; if other values are
entered, the network number defaults to 5. The new value is first used at the next
power-up or system restart. If using a BACnet router, it is recommended that the
router also be restarted after the E8950 has completed discovery, when the network
number is changed.
