in. (5 cm) on each side of the controller for wiring.

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

Wiring the i-Vu® Open Router for power

WARNING Do not apply line voltage (mains voltage) to the controller's ports and terminals.

CAUTIONS

•The i-Vu® Open Router is powered by a Class 2 power source. Take appropriate isolation measures when

mounting it in a control panel where non-Class 2 circuits are present.

•Carrier controllers can share a power supply as long as you:

•Maintain the same polarity.

•Use the power supply only for Carrier controllers.

To wire for power

1 Make sure the i-Vu® Open Router’s power switch is in the OFF position to prevent it from powering up before

you can verify the correct voltage.

2 Remove power from the power supply.

3 Pull the screw terminal connector from the router's power terminals labeled 24 Vac/Vdc and Ground.

4 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.

5 Apply power to the power supply.

6 Measure the voltage at the i-Vu® Open Router’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the

operating range of 21.6 –26.4 Vac or 23.4 - 28.6 Vdc.

7 Insert the screw terminal connector into the i-Vu® Open Router's power terminals.

8 Turn on the i-Vu® Open Router's power.

9 Verify that the Run LED (a dot in the lower right corner of the Module Status LED) begins blinking. The Module

Status LED will display 8 for about 5 seconds and then reverts to 0, until controllers have been found and

downloaded. There is a chase pattern when the router is running with no errors.

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

Addressing the i-Vu® Open Router

The i-Vu® Open Router needs two addresses, one for the Open network and one for the IP Network.

The i-Vu® Open

Router needs...

That is unique

Notes

A router address

Open network

You set the i-Vu® Open Router address on the rotary switches.

(1-99)

NOTE The i-Vu® Open Router address is also used to auto-

generate the BACnet device instance/name for the router and

the MS/TP network number for the connected Open network.

See Configuring BACnet device instance and network number

for more information.

An IP address

IP Network

Use the IP Address DIP switch to choose one of the following:

•Use DHCP to obtain an IP address

•Assign a custom IP address (default)

The default IP settings are:

•192.168.168x, where x = router address

•subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

•default gateway = 192.168.168.254

To set the i-Vu® Open Router address on the Open network

CAUTION The i-Vu® Open Router address must be unique on the IP and Open network.

1 If wired for power, turn off the power.

NOTE The i-Vu® Open Router only reads the rotary switch positions during power up or upon reset.

2 Use the rotary switches to set the address. Set the Tens (10's) switch to the tens digit of the address, and set

the Ones (1's) switch to the ones digit. Valid addresses are 1 - 99.

EXAMPLE If the controller’s address is 25, point the arrow on the Tens (10's) switch to 2 and the arrow on

the Ones (1's) switch to 5.

10's 1's

3 Turn on the i-Vu® Open Router's power.

CAUTION The factory default setting is 00 and must be changed to successfully install your i-Vu® Open

Router.

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

To choose an IP addressing scheme

Carefully plan your addressing scheme to avoid duplicate IP addresses.

•If there is a DHCP server on the network, and, if you have a single i-Vu® Open Router or multiple i-Vu® Open

Routers that exist on the SAME subnet, use DHCP addressing. Skip to the section To obtain an IP address

using DHCP (page 7).

•If you have multiple i-Vu® Open Routers that reside on different subnets, you cannot use DHCP addressing.

Instead, give each i-Vu® Open Router an assigned IP address. Skip to the section To assign a custom IP

address (page 7).

NOTE This network configuration also requires that you configure IP Broadcast Management Devices

(BBMDs). See To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices.

To obtain an IP address using DHCP

1 Turn the i-Vu® Open Router's power off.

2 Set the IP Addr DIP switch DHCP to On.

3 Turn the i-Vu® Open Router's power on. The DHCP server assigns an IP address to the i-Vu® Open Router.

CAUTION If the DHCP server is not found, the following default IP address settings will be used:

•IP address = 192.168.168.xx, where xx = i-Vu® Open Router address (rotary switch settings)

•Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

•Default Gateway = 192.168.168.254

To assign a custom IP address

1 Obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address for the router from the facility network

administrator.

2 Turn the i-Vu® Open Router's power off.

3 Set the i-Vu® Open Router's IP Addr DIP switch Assigned to On.

4 Configure the i-Vu® Open Router by setting the Router Config Mode DIP switch Console to On using a

terminal program such as PuTTY or Hyperterminal.

5 Turn the i-Vu® Open Router's power on.

PREREQUISITES

•A computer with a USB port

•A USB Link cable —See To communicate through the Local Access port with a USB Link (page 12)

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

Communicating through the Local Access port with a USB Link

Using a computer and a USB Link, you can communicate locally with the i-Vu® Open Router to download or to

troubleshoot.

CAUTIONS

•Maintain polarity when controllers share power.

•Failure to maintain polarity while using the USB Link on a computer that is grounded via its AC adapter may

damage the USB Link and the controller.

•If multiple controllers share power but polarity was not maintained when they were wired, the difference

between the controller's ground and the computer's AC power ground could damage the USB Link and the

controller. If you are not sure of the wiring polarity, use a USB isolator between the computer and the USB

Link. Purchase a USB isolator online from a third-party manufacturer. Plug the isolator into your computer's

USB port, and then plug the USB Link cable into the isolator.

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

Configuring BACnet Device Instance and network number

All BACnet Open controllers must have a unique Device Instance and Name. These BACnet addresses are

automatically generated and usually do not require modification. However, sometimes you need to override the

automatic addressing assignments.

Autogenerated addressing scheme:

The i-Vu® Open Router's rotary address setting determines the automatic BACnet addressing scheme for the

connected Open network.

Legend

16 = Carrier's BACnet Vendor ID

xx = i-Vu® Open Router's rotary switch address (BACnet Device Instance address)

yy = Open controller's rotary switch address (MS/TP MAC address)

For the i-Vu® Open Router:

•BACnet Device Instance Number = 1600xx

•BACnet Device Instance Name = device1600xx

•BACnet IP Network Number = 1600

•BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx

•BACnet ARC156 Network Number = 163xx

•Port S1 MS/TP MAC Address = 0 (fixed)

For the Open controllers connected to the i-Vu® Open Router

•BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Number = 161xxyy

•BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Number = 163xxyy

•BACnet MS/TP Device Instance Name = device161xxyy

•BACnet ARC156 Device Instance Name = device163xxyy

•BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 MAC Address = yy

•BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 161xx (learned from the router, defaults to 16101 if no i-Vu® Open Router

is operating)

If the BACnet automatic settings need to be changed, launch the Router Configuration utility using a terminal

program. See To assign a custom IP address (page 7) for instructions on connecting to and using a terminal

program.

To change the BACnet settings:

1 Enter the BACnet selection# from the menu. Type the new setting and click Enter. The new setting will appear

on the Router Configuration screen.

2 Cycle power to the router for the new settings to take effect.

NOTE If the BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network number of the router is assigned and not auto-generated,

and the Open controllers connected to that router are set such that their BACnet settings are auto-generated,

then the Open controller BACnet settings will be auto-generated based on the assigned MS/TP network

number in the router:

Example A router's BACnet MS/TP or ARC156 network has been assigned to 200.

Installing the i-Vu® Open Router

If the connected Open controllers are using autogenerate, then their settings will be:

•BACnet MS/TP Network Number = 200

•BACnet Device Instance Number = 200yy

•BACnet Device Instance Name = device200yy

•BACnet MS/TP MAC Address = yy

To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices (BBMDs)

If your system has multiple routers that reside on different IP subnets, you must set up one router on each IP

subnet as a BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD).

Every subnet with a router must have a BBMD configured in order for broadcasts from routers on that subnet to

reach the rest of the routers on the network.

NOTES

•The i-Vu® Standard or Plus application - If the i-Vu® web server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the

routers, the internal router must be assigned a routable IP address and configured as a BBMD.

•The i-Vu® Pro application - If the i-Vu® Pro server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the routers, you

must register it as a foreign device to a router acting as a BBMD device.
