Remote Communication Requirements
and Specifications
The Tracer Summit BCU supports remote communication with a PC
Workstation. Remote communication requirements and specifications are
described in the following sections.
Communication Rate
The BCU supports a maximum communication rate of 33,600 bps.
Communication Protocol
Communication between the BCU and a PC Workstation is performed
using the BACnet point-to-point (PTP) protocol.
BCU Internal Modem
For remote communication, a single, internal modem card must be
installed in one of the BCU’s option card slots (see Figure 2 on page 4).
Trane reserves the right to support only specified modems, because
modem specifications are subject to change. This ensures proper opera-
tion and helps facilitate technical support if communication failures
occur.
PC Workstation Modem
The Tracer Summit PC Workstation supports up to three internal or
external modems. (The resources available on any given PC Workstation
will dictate the number of modems able to be connected.) As with the
BCU internal modem, Trane reserves the right to support only those
modems specified. For a current list of specified modems, contact your
local Trane office.
Note:
You cannot install an EIA-232 communication card for BACnet
interface and an internal modem in the same Tracer Summit
BCU.
