ACM-VLX/VLX/EXP/AXM

BACnet/IP settings BACnet/IP settings are accessed through item P on the

Change Configuration menu.

The VLX/ACM-VLX supports Annex J BACnet/IP, which enables BACnet

messages to run over Internet Protocol (IP) Wide Area Networks (WANs). If

your BACnet network runs on an enterprise network connected by IP routers,

you can set up the VLX/ACM-VLX to exchange BACnet data over this network.

BACnet messages are transmitted and received as IP frames.

BACnet/IP settings rely first on correct Ethernet network settings and

connections. See “Ethernet” on page 31 for more information about setting up

Ethernet network parameters.

Note For more detailed information about BACnet/IP, including architecture

diagrams and different setup scenarios, refer to the BACtalk System Design

Guide (LTBT-TM-SYSDSGN).

CAUTION Setting up a BACnet system on a network requires knowledge of IP

networking fundamentals. It also requires close coordination with IT and

networking professionals who maintain the network. Seek out contacts in this

field as soon as possible in the project to help you determine appropriate

BACnet/IP settings.
