Max Master Set to 127 or no lower than the highest MAC address on the network. See
Device Status page on page 42.
Usage Timeout Sets the maximum time the router will wait on a response from a master
device before passing the token. The default value is 20 milliseconds.
MAC Address The MAC (Media Access Control) address assigned to the router for the
MS/TP network. This must be unique on the MS/TP network and in the range from 0–127.
Typically the MAC address for a router is zero (0).
Router Core properties page
The Router Core properties are general properties that apply to all routing protocols. The
properties consist of the Home Port selection and the Routing properties.
Home Port
Because the router is a BACnet device, it must be connected to one of the BACnet networks
by setting the Home Port property.
l
The home port is designated on a router port by the Home Port icon .
l The home port sets the network on which the router is connected. In operator
workstations, the router appears on the network designated as the home port network.
l The home port can be assigned only to an enabled network.
Using the MS/TP network reduces the APDU size and
significantly increases network traffic. KMCControls
recommends that one of the IP ports or the Ethernet port is
designated as the home port.
