Revision A 9

Connecting for
network routing
For permanent installations, connect the router between to a network router
or network switch and an MS/TP network. For permanent installations, the
router is typically connected to a 24 volt transformer for power.
See also the following topics:
Mounting the router on page 9
Connecting power on page 11
Illustration 2–2 Permanent installation
MS/TP network wiring
Use the following principles when connecting the router to an MS/TP
network:
Connect no more than 128 addressable BACnet devices to one MS/TP
network. The devices can be any mix of controllers or routers.
Use twisted pair, shielded cable with capacitance of no more than
51picofarads per foot for all network wiring. Belden cable #82760 or
equivalent meets the requirements.
Connect the -Aterminal in parallel with all other - terminals.
Connect the +Bterminal in parallel with all other + terminals.
Connect the shields of the cable together at each mid line device. For
KMC BACnet devices use the Sterminal.
Connect the shield to an earth ground at one end only.
Use a repeater between every 32 MS/TP devices or if the cable length
exceeds 4000 feet (1220 meters). Use no more than four repeaters per
MS/TP network.
Place a KMD–5567 surge suppressor in the MS/TP cable where it exits a
building.
Section 2: Installing the router KMC Controls, Inc.
10 Revision A

MS/TP end of line termination switches
The controllers on the physical ends of the MS/TP wiring segment must have
end of line termination added for proper network operation.
If the router is at the end of the network segment, set the EOL switch to
On.
If the router is in the middle of the network segment, set the EOL switch
to Off.
Connecting power The router requires a 24 volt, AC power source. Use the following guidelines
when choosing and wiring transformers to the router. The router begins to
operate when either power source is applied.
Illustration 2–3 Power terminals and jumper
For USB power Connect the router to a powered USB port with a USB A to
USB micro B cable. Typically the USB ports on laptop computers can supply
power to the router. When connecting to a USB hub, verify the power
specifications of the hub. See the topic Specifications on page 5.
For 24 volt AC power Connect a 24 volt AC power supply to the black
power terminal block on the side of the router.
Connect the ground side of the transformer to the ground terminal .
Connect the AC phase to the phase terminal .
Use a Class–2 transformer of the appropriate size to supply power to the
router.
KMC Controls recommends powering the router from a dedicated
transformer.
Do not run 24 volt, AC power from within an enclosure to external
devices.
Maintenance The router requires no routine maintenance. If necessary, clean with a damp
cloth and mild soap.

Section 3 : Configuring the router
This section provides important guidelines for configuring a KMC
BAC-5051E router before it is placed on a network. Review this
information carefully for proper installation.
The BAC-5051E can be fully configured either during initial configuration or
after the router has an IPaddress assigned and is installed in its permanent
location on a network.

Revision A 13

Initial setup The BAC-5051E is configured with an HTML 5 compatible web browser from
pages served from within the router. The router has the following default
network address values.
IPaddress—192.168.1.252
Subnet mask—255.255.255.0
Gateway—192.168.1.1
You will need the following information before you can configure a router.
From the BACnet system designer:
Network numbers for each of the enabled networks.
A MAC address for the MS/TP port.
The highest MAC address used on the MS/TP network.
The baud rate for the of the MS/TP networks.
The address and port for a PAD router or BBMD to which the router
will connect.
From the from the IT system administer:
The IP address for the router.
The IP subnet mask for the Ethernet LAN to which the router will
connect.
The IP address of the network gateway.
If the router is part of a system that uses the Internet, you will also need
the public IP address and port.
You will also need an HTML5 compliant browser, Ethernet cable, and a
USB-A to USB-B micro cable or a 24 volt AC power source.
Set up for configuration
To configure the router plug it into an Ethernet port. Typically this is a direct
connection to a computer Ethernet connection which requires changing the
computer IPaddress. See the procedure Changing your computer's address on
page 16.
In addition to the Ethernet connection, supply temporary power to the router
with a USB cable. An alternative to the USB power connection is a 24 volt AC
source. See Connecting power on page 11.

Logging in
Use an HTML 5 browser to log in and configure the router.
To log in, do the following.
1. Connect the router to an Ethernet port by doing one of the following.
lConnect directly to the computer.
lConnect to a subnet that recognizes address 168.192.1.252.
2. Connect the router to either USB or 24 volt AC power.
3. Open a new browser window.
4. Enter the address 192.168.1.252.
5. At the log in window enter the following
User name: admin
Password: admin

6. Once the you have logged in, other parameters of the router can be
changed from the Home page.
To change the IP address, see the topic Home window on page 30.
To set up BACnet routing, see the topic Setting up routing on page 33.
To change passwords and add users, see the topic Security window on
page 31.
Note: If you change the IP address, place the router on the new subnet and log in
at the new address. Once the address is changed and saved the router will
not respond to the old address.
Changing your computer's address
To directly connect a computer to a router, you must set the IPaddress of the
computer to be compatible with the IP address of the router.
1. From the Windows Control Panel, click Network and Internet and then
Networking Sharing Center.
2. Choose the local connection for the LAN. Depending on the computer
and version of Windows, the exact name for the connection may be
Ethernet,Local Area Connection, or something similar.
