BACnet PAD routing
Either of the two IP ports can be configured for PAD (Packet Assembling and
Dissassembling) routing to a companion PAD router located on a different subnet. The
values on this page are assigned by the BACnet system engineer.
For the log in procedure, see the topic Initial setup on page 15.
1 Use an Internet browser to log in.
2 Click Routing and then Configuration.
3 Select Enable for the port.
4 From the list box, choose PAD.
5 Set other properties as needed and then click Save.
Note: The router will restart. For additional changes, log in again.
A BACnet IP PAD router is a special type of router that connects two or more BACnet network
segments that are separated by at least one IP-only router. The PAD router monitors network
traffic for BACnet messages addressed to other subnets and then repackages the message
so that they can pass through IP routers, in effect forming a “tunnel” between the two
network segments. A companion PAD router unpacks and retransmits the message on the
remote BACnet network.
Enable Select to enable the network. The port block turns green when enabled.
Net Designates the BACnet network number for the port. Assign network numbers in the
range from 1 to 65534.
Port Assign a unique UDP port number to each of the enabled IP networks. The default port
number is 47808.
Remote IP Enter the address of the remote PAD router. If network address translation (NAT)
is used between the local router and the PAD router, contact the network system
administrator for the correct public IP address.
