Installation and Start-up Guide All rights reserved
11
You must define the TV-UCXP683T's IP addressing (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway) on the
controller setup Ports tab so that the controller can communicate with the i-Vu Server on the IP network.
Use one of the IP addressing schemes described below with the associated instructions that follow.
Use a...
If...
DHCP IP Address
generated by a DHCP server
The IP network uses a DHCP server for IP addressing
Custom Static IP Address
from your network administrator
You do not use a DHCP server and the answer to any of the
following questions is yes. Will the i-Vu® system:
•Share a facility's existing IP data network?
•Be connected to the Internet?
•Have at least one device located on the other side of an IP
router?
•Be connected to any third-party IP devices?
NOTE Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicating addresses. If third-party devices are integrated
into the system, make sure your addresses do not conflict with their addresses.
To set a DHCP IP address
1 On the controller setup Modstat tab, find the controller’s Ethernet MAC address and write it down.
2 On the Ports tab under IP Port, select DHCP.
3 Click Save.
4 Write down the IP Address.
5 Give the DHCP network administrator the IP address and Ethernet MAC address and ask him to reserve that
IP address for the controller so that it always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
To set a custom static IP address
1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the controller from the facility network
administrator.
2 On the controller setup Ports tab under IP Port, select Custom Static.
3 Enter the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses that the network administrator gave
you.
4 Click Save.
To set the IP address

To set the Port S1 address and baud rate
TruVu™ UCXP683T CARRIER CORPORATION ©2022
Installation and Start-up Guide All rights reserved
12
The address should be in one of the following ranges based on the port's use:
•For MS/TP Master, the range is 0 to 127.
•For MS/TP Slave, the range is 128 to 255.
•For Modbus, the range is 1 to 247.
You set this address on the TV-UCXP683T's controller setup pages.
The TV-UCXP683T can automatically receive or establish the baud rate on an MS/TP or Modbus serial network.
When you configure a device on the network for autobaud and then power it up, the device detects the incoming
baud rate on the network and sets its baud to match.
Autobaud does not work unless there is a device on the network, whether Carrier or third party, that has the baud
rate already set. You can manually set the baud rate on more than one device, as long as the rate is the same for
every device.
NOTE The discovered autobaud rate stays intact during power cycles.
MS/TP
For MS/TP on Port S1, set up autobaud or the baud rate
•On the controller setup pages > BACnet tab > Port S1
•In the i-Vu® interface, on the navigation tree, right-click your TV-UCXP683T > select Driver Properties >
BACnet Controller Properties > MS/TP Configuration on Port S1. See BACnet Controller Properties (page 38).
NOTES
•If not using autobaud, enter the identical baud rate for all devices on the same MS/TP network segment.
•If using autobaud, we recommend you set the baud rate manually on the router for the MS/TP network
segment.
Modbus
For Modbus Serial on Ports S1, set up autobaud or the baud rate
•On the controller setup pages > Modbus tab > Modbus RS-485 > Port Configuration
•In the i-Vu® interface, on the navigation tree, right-click your TV-UCXP683T > select Driver Properties >
Communication Status > Modbus Serial.
NOTE For details on setting up your network, see the Modbus Integration Guide.
NOTE If you set Autobaud or make other changes in the controller setup pages, you must upload the changes to
the system database the first time you access the controller in the i-Vu® interface. This preserves those settings
when you download memory or parameters to the controller.

to report the total number of controllers and the discovered number.
7 To configure devices:
○One at a time - Enter the IP Address and Location or name (optional) of each device you wish to
configure. When you enter the IP address, that device inherits the original device's subnet mask and
default gateway.
○Multiple devices simultaneously - Select the devices you want to address, enter the starting IP address in
the field under the Address heading, and then click Assign. The selected devices are automatically
assigned sequential IP addresses.
NOTE To change the IP Address, the device's Mode must be Custom Static.
For more details about discovering and configuring your devices, see Local Network tab (page 48).

Method 2: To address when you do not know the serial numbers
You will need physical access to each device so that you can press the DSC button on the bottom right of the TV-
UCXP683T. This allows you to identify the device on the controller setup Local Network page.
1 Connect to the Service Port of one i-Vu® XT or TruVu™ IP device on the network. For details, see Addressing
the TV-UCXP683T through the Service port (page 9).
2 Browse to the Service Port address (http://local.access or http://169.254.1.1).
3 On the Ports tab, set the device's IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.
NOTES The other devices that you configure inherit this device's subnet mask and default gateway.
4 On the Local Network tab, click the Clear All button to erase any pre-existing data in the Local Devices table.
5 On the controller you want to address, press the DSC button on the bottom right. When pressed, a row
appears in the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab. The row has a blue dot to indicate which
controller has just had the button pressed.
6 In the row for the identified controller, enter the Address and Location (optional).
7 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each controller that you want to address.
8 For more details about discovering and configuring your devices, see Local Network tab (page 48).
NOTE To physically identify a device that is displayed on the Local Devices table, you can click the Blink button,
which causes that device's Net and Sys LEDs to flash light blue for 10 seconds.
The following are two possible methods you could use to identify and assign a network of controllers' addresses
after following steps 1 - 4 above.
•Two technicians can work together if they are communicating throughout the process. The first technician
physically travels around the building to each controller, tells his co-worker exactly where he is, and then
presses the DSC button. The second technician, who is sitting at a computer connected to the controller,
watches for the blue dot to show up on the Local Devices table on the Local Network tab, where he can enter
the appropriate addressing and identifying information.
•One technician alone can address the controllers on a mobile device showing the Local Network page by
plugging the Carrier wireless service adapter into a controller's Service Port. Then, with the computer, move to
each controller within 100 ft. of the adapter. Pressing the DSC button on the controller displays a blue dot in
the table where the addressing information can be entered.

•Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the Cat5e or Cat6e Ethernet cable. Refer to Ethernet cable
manufacturer specifications for minimum bend radius.
To connect the TV-UCXP683T to the Ethernet
Connect an Ethernet cable from the building BAS system or another TV-UCXP683T controller to the Eth0 Ethernet
port. If necessary, connect another Ethernet cable from the Eth1 port to the next TV-UCXP683T controller in a
daisy chain.
The TV-UCXP683T has a fail-safe Ethernet relay that bypasses a daisy chained controller in the event of an internal
disruption, such as a power loss. When a failure occurs and the switch is bypassing a controller, the network
connection on both sides of the controller are electrically connected, which continues the signal and passes it to
the next controller.
NOTE If your system has controllers on different IP subnets separated by an IP router, you must configure one
controller on each subnet as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD). Do not configure more than one
BBMD per subnet as this may cause circular routes. See "Setting up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices
(BBMDs)" in SiteBuilder or i-Vu® Help.
