Section 2: Confi guri ng the BAC-5051E router
This section provides important guidelines for configuring a router before it is placed on a
network. Review this information carefully for proper installation.
The router must be configured as a network device. To prevent disrupting an existing
network, configure the network address before connecting the router to the network. The
BACnet device instance and other properties can be configured at the same time or after the
router has an IPaddress assigned and it is installed in its permanent location on a network.
