7.3 BACnet Discovery Issues
BACnet MSTP Devices Discovered
Inconsistent Baud Rate Settings
Every BACnet device on the same MSTP network must be communicating at the same baud rate (speed). A common
default baud is 38.4k but this is usually congurable at the device. The Baud rate for the Turntide Hub can be congured
individually for each serial bus port under its congurations in Network > Interfaces (com1 - com4).
Check all devices and make sure they have the same congured baud rate.
Duplicate MAC Addresses
Each BACnet MSTP device must be congured with a unique MAC address at the device. If several devices are missing
from discovery, it’s possible multiple devices have been programmed with the same MAC address. Check the user guide
for the BACnet device and assign it a unique MAC between 1 and 126.
The Turntide Hub is generally congured with a MAC of 0 or 127.
Max Master Setting
The Max Master setting can be found in the Hub UI under Network >BACnet Cong. This is set to 127 by default to allow
communication to all devices.
