1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ET9500
ET9500 is an external, high performance multi-protocol interface box that is precongured to
automatically communicate between Intermatic ET90000 Series Time Switches (hereafter called
“device”) connected to the ET9500 and automatically congures them for BACnet®1MS/TP, BACnet®/
IP, Metasys®2N2 by JCI, Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU.
It is not necessary to download any conguration les to support the required applications. The ET9500
is pre-loaded with tested Proles/Congurations for the supported devices.
NOTE: Network connection required.

• Write down the IP Address for each of the ET90000 devices attached to the ET9500.
These addresses will be required for conguration in a later step below.
• Note the following:
o All of the ET90000 devices connected to ET9500 must be on the same IP
subnet.
o The PC that runs the Web Congurator must be on the same IP subnet. This is
the Web Server used to congure the ET9500.
2 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL SETUP
2.1 Collecting ET90000’s IP Addresses
• ET9500 uses the “S” bank of DIP switches (S0 – S3) to select the Field Protocol.
• The default conguration is BACnet/IP (S0-S3 are off).
• If you have a different Protocol remove the white label (A0-7, B0-3, S0-3) to access DIP
switches.
NOTE: When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the board is OFF.
• See Figure 3 for the switch settings to select BACnet MS/TP, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/
IP, Modbus RTU or Metasys N2.
• Set the DIP switches to the positions that match the Protocol required.

• ET9500 uses the “B” bank of DIP switches (B0 – B3) to set the baud rate of the ET9500
to match the baud rate required by the BEMS for BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU.
• The default conguration is 38400 baud (B0,B1,B3 on and B2 off).
• If you have a different baud rate remove the white label (A0-7, B0-3, S0-3) to access
DIP switches.
NOTE: When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the board is OFF.
• See Figure 4 for the switch settings to select 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800.
• Set the DIP switches to the positions that match the baud rate required.

• ET9500 uses the “A” bank of DIP switches (A0 – A7) to assign the MAC Address for the
ET9500.
• The default conguration is Address 3 (A0, A1 on and A2-7 off).
• If you need a different address remove the white label (A0-7, B0-3, S0-3) to access DIP
switches.
NOTE: When setting DIP Switches, please ensure that power to the board is OFF.
• Note the following:
o Only 1 MAC address is set for ET9500 regardless of how many devices are
connected to ET9500.
o Set the MAC address of the ET9500 to a value between 1 to 127 (Master MAC
address); this allows the BEMS Front End to nd ET9500 via BACnet auto
discovery.
o Note: Never set a BACnet MS/TP MAC Address of the ET9500 to a value from
128 to 255. Addresses from 128 to 255 are Slave Addresses and can not be
discovered by BEMS Front Ends that support Auto-Discovery of BACnet MS/
TP devices. This restriction does not apply to the Modbus RTU or Metasys N2.
• See Figure 5 for the switch settings to select Address. Please refer to Appendix C.1
for the complete range of MAC Addresses and DIP switch settings.

4.3 Setting IP Address for Field Network for BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP
• Open a PC web browser, enter the default IP address of the ET9500 192.168.1.24 into
the URL eld to connect to the ET9500.
• To set IP Address for Field Network select the “Network Settings” Tab from the toolbar
(Figure 9).
• Modify the IP address (N1 IP Address eld) of the ET9500 Ethernet port.
• If necessary, change the Netmask (N1 Netmask eld).
• Type in a new Subnet Mask
• If necessary, change the IP Gateway (Default Gateway eld)
• Type in a new IP Gateway
Note: If the ET9500 is connected to a router, the IP Gateway of the ET9500 should be
set to the IP address of the router that it is connected to.
• Once new IP Address has been entered, click on the newly highlighted button “Update
Settings” (Figure 19).
• Reset ET9500
• Remove Power before Unplugging the Ethernet cable from PC and connecting it to the
network hub or router
• Record the IP address assigned to the ET9500 for future reference.
• After setting your PC to be on the same subnet as the ET9500 (Section 4.1), open a
web browser on your PC and enter the IP address of the ET9500; the default address
is 192.168.1.24.

4.4.1 Setting the Device Instance for BACnet/IP Network
• The BACnet Device Instances will be calculated by adding the Node_Offset (default
value is 90,000) to the unique device’s Node ID (See Section 5.2).
• The Node_Offset is found in the Web Congurator.
• The BACnet Device Instance can range from 1 to 4,194,303.
• To assign specific Device Instance values, change the Node_Offset value.
(Section 5)
Example:
o Node_Offset value (default) = 90,000
o Device 1 has a unique Node-ID of 1
o Device 2 has a unique Node-ID of 22
o Device 3 has a unique Node-ID of 33
o Given that: Device Instance = Node_Offset + unique Node_ID
o Device Instance, Device 1 = 50,000 + 1 = 90,001
o Device Instance, Device 2 = 50,000 + 22 = 90,022
o Device Instance, Device 3 = 50,000 + 33 = 90,033
4.4.2 Setting the Device Instance for BACnet MS/TP Network
• The BACnet Device Instances will be calculated by adding the Node_Offset (default
value is 90,000) to the unique device’s Node ID (See Section 5.2).
• The Node_Offset is found in the Web Congurator.
• The BACnet Device Instance can range from 1 to 4,194,303.
• To assign specific Device Instance values, change the Node_Offset value.
(Section 5)
Example:
o Node_Offset value (default) = 90,000
o Device 1 has a unique Node-ID of 1
o Device 2 has a unique Node-ID of 22
o Device 3 has a unique Node-ID of 33
o Given that: Device Instance = Node_Offset + unique Node_ID
o Device Instance, Device 1 = 50,000 + 1 = 90,001
o Device Instance, Device 2 = 50,000 + 22 = 90,022
o Device Instance, Device 3 = 50,000 + 33 = 90,033

• No COMS on ET90000 device side: If Ethernet LED is not ashing then there is a COM
issue on the Ethernet side and you need to check the following things:
o Ethernet Cable
o Switch or Router
o All devices are on the same subnet as the ET9500 (See Section 4)
o Intermatic device IP setting match the Web conguration settings for that
device prole added
• Field COM problems:
o Visual dip switch settings (using correct baud rate, MAC address and Device

Appendix A.3. BACnet IP Settings
Appendix A.4. Setting up the ET9500 for BBMD on the BACnet/IP Network
On the main Web Congurator screen, update the BACnet details and hit the save icon.
Please note that the BACnet Network default value is 50.
The ET9500 is capable of being a BACnet BBMD Client on a BACnet network. When this
function is enabled, other BACnet networks on different subnets and other remote BACnet
networks can access the devices on the particular Subnet that the ET9500 is connected
to. Here are the steps to set up a BACnet BBMD Client:
• Create the bdt.ini le. You can get a sample bdt.ini le from Intermatic.
• Here is a format of the BDT.ini le to create:
// BBMD IP_Address , BBMD port , BBMD subnet Mask
24.90.48.179 , 47808 , 255.255.255.255
64.80.115.156 , 47808 , 255.255.255.255
• The last line of the bdt.ini le should be empty.
On the main Web Congurator screen, set the BACnet BBMD option to enable.
