Table 11-8: Recommended Numbering Scheme for MAC Addresses, Instance
Numbers, and Network Numbers
ECY Series Controller BACnet/IP Device Instance
Numbers: Multiples of 10 000
BACnet MS/TP Network Number: ECY Series
Controller BACnet/IP Device Instance Number/1000 +
0,1,2,3,4 (for each LAN)
BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Number =
ECY Series Controller BACnet MS/TP Network
Number * 1000 + MAC Address
An example of this numbering system is shown below.

Figure 11-16: BACnet MS/TP Numbering System for MAC Addresses, Device
Instance Numbers, and Network Numbers
When discovering devices with EC-Net
AX
which has the routing option configured,
it will discover all BACnet devices connected to all ECY Series Controllers when
routing is enabled (see Routing on page 78). Make sure to add only the devices
connected to the MS/TP port of the specific ECY Series Controller being
configured. Using this numbering system will greatly help to identify those devices
that should be added to a given ECY Series Controller.
Setting the ECY Series Controller’s MAC Address
The ECY Series Controller’s MAC address can be set in BACnet Settings of the ECLYPSE
Web Interface on page 67.
