Issue
Cannot get the BACnet IP port to enable in a JACE-6 or JACE-6E controller.
Environment
I/A Series G3, JACE-6, JACE-6E, BACnet/IP
Cause
The JACE-6 and JACE-6E controllers include two Ethernet ports LAN1 and LAN2 and the user must select the appropriate interface adapter.
Resolution
The JACE-6 and JACE-6E controllers include two Ethernet ports LAN1 and LAN2 which represent Interface 1 (en0) and Interface 2 (en1). The user must select the appropriate interface adapter. To configure a BACnet/IP port:
- Expand the Ip Port in the property sheet view.
- Set the Network Number from “-1” to the BACnet network number for the network segment to which you are connecting. If this is an existing BACnet installation, make sure to use the same network number already in use. If this is a new BACnet installation, you can choose this number (for example: 100).
- Expand the Link component in the property sheet.
- Under Link, use the drop-down list for Adapter to select the network adapter to use. These adapters are automatically discovered and validated by G3.
- Review the Udp Port setting being used for BACnet communications. By default, UDP port 47808 decimal (0xBAC0 in hexadecimal) is used. If your BACnet/IP installation is using another UDP port, enter this port number in the Udp Port property.
- Be sure to enable the IP port: right-click on the IP Port, go to Actions, then click Enable
