MSTP Settings
Baud Rate:
The B6000 supports all Baud Rates specified by the BACnet Standard. From the drop down
list, please choose the appropriate baud rate for your MSTP network. Please keep in mind that
ALL your Devices on the MSTP network, including THIS router need to be on the SAME
baud rate. If the baud rates are different, they will not be able to communicate with each other.
This station MAC:
This is the Media Access Control address of the router. Please note that ALL devices on the
MSTP network need to have a unique MAC address. Prior to configuring this, you will need
to know the MAC addresses of all your devices on the MSTP Network. Once you have this
information, enter a unique value (1 through 127) here.
Directly Connected Network Number (DNET):
This stands for Directly Connected Network Number. Please assign a Network Number to this
MSTP Network. This has to be a unique number on your network. It is best to speak with
your Network Administrator to get a unique Number assigned to this interface of the Router.
Also note that there is a parameter called DNET under your BACnet/IP Settings. The number
here has to be unique as well.
A typical setting would be BACnet/IP settings DNET = 5 and MSTP/Settings DNET = 6.
(Assuming there are no other networks with the same Network Number connected to your
BACnet network).
Advanced Settings
If you click on the Advanced button you will see the settings for the advanced MSTP options. Make sure
you are familiar with the settings concept. Otherwise leave these settings as default.
