Computer requirements The computer running the service or configuration program must
have a BACnet driver installed and configured to match a port in the service tool router. The
program also requires a unique Device Instance number assigned to the BACnet driver. The
exact details for setting up the driver vary with each program.
Router set up Using the router for service connection requires that the router is set up with a
unique device instance and network number between the computer and router. The network
between the computer and router may be one of the IPprotocols or the Ethernet protocol.
Typically, the normal IPprotocol is used when the router is connected between a computer
and an MS/TP network.
l See the topic Setting up routing on page 27 for details on configuring the router's ports
for BACnet networks.
l Setting the device instance number is described in the topic Device properties page on
page 21.
