II. Installation and Setup Procedures
A. Installation
1. TurnunitpowerOFF.RemovethecoverofBMScardslotondap4controllerorserialcard
1 slot if it is a Mini dap4 controller.
2. InserttheidapcardtotheBMScard(serialcard1onMinidap4)
3. Install the idap card cover that comes with the card.
B. Set-up IP Address In idap Card for Ethernet Connection
1. Afterinstallingtheidapcardintothedap4controller,turnthedap4backON,gotoMenuG-
NetworkCongandprogramBMSPORT1to“BACnetTCP/IP”protocol,BMSPORT2must
besettoN/A(defaultsetting).
2. To set-up the idap card you will need a laptop or PC with Windows XP or Windows 7 operat-
ing system and a CAT-5 crossover cable between the PC and the dap4 are required. Con-
necttotheidapcardandcongurethecardIPaddress.Seedetailedstepsbelow.

5
3. All idap cards are set up for a DHCP server as default. Follow step 4 to step 12 to enter a
static IP address if it requires.
4. Perform a factory reboot of the card by shutting OFF the
power to the dap4 controller. While pressing and hold-
ingtheResetbuttonoftheidapcard;powerthedap4
controllerbackON.ThestatusLEDwillblinkredand
green rapidly for couple seconds, continue to hold the
