You can connect to the Comm/Service Port to access your network through the i-Vu® application.

if you haven't already.

3 On the Properties page > Configure tab, select BACnet/IP Service Port Connection from the drop-down list
and click Add.
4 If needed, enter the Service Port Network Number as follows:
○ 0 - the TV-VAVB3-E2 will communicate only with the computer or TruVu™ ET Display
○ 1 to 65534 - the TV-VAVB3-E2's network number for network communication
○ 65535 - searches for an available network number from 65531 to 65534. If any of these numbers are
not available, you will have to assign a network number and enter it.
