Applications
The Smart Building Hub (SBH) is the base controller for
the Verasys® Building Automation System (BAS) and
provides wired and wireless connections and plug and
play configuration between all Smart Equipment layers
and controls.
The SBH has many-to-one, multi-client connectivity, that
provides access to any Smart Equipment device that
directly connects to a BACnet® (MS/TP) field bus, zone
coordinator, or Input/Output module (IOM). The SBH has
a USB Wi-Fi access point, and an intuitive, browser-based
interface to access advanced features like fault detection,
alarms, and point configuration.
The wireless connection on the SBH means that you can
use it from up to 31 m away (100 ft, line of sight) indoors,
and from up to 91 m away (300 ft, line of sight) outdoors
while using a supported mobile device. You can access
the user interface either over Wi-Fi or an existing Ethernet
network on site.
You can mount the SBH permanently onto a DIN rail
or place it on a stable, flat surface and connect it to the
system bus of a Verasys controller. You can supply power
through the included AC power supply.

Operation
Accessing Smart Equipment using the
SBH
When the SBH is physically connected to an MS/TP
network, you can access Smart Equipment devices. The
SBH connects to the network through the system bus
and can access the devices on the trunk through this
connection.
To interact with a device on the network to see its
setpoints, alarms, and other parameters, use a web-
enabled device that is connected to the SBH Wi-Fi network
to select the device. To use the network, you must have
a web-enabled device that uses a supported internet
browser.
Connecting to the SBH Wi-Fi network
1. The SBH permanently connects to the Verasys
system using the four-terminal system bus port. Wire
the system bus communications to the blue, four-
terminal connector and connect to the port as shown
in the following figure.
2. If the SBH is at the end of a line, set the end-of-line
(EOL) switch to ON.
Figure 4: Connecting the SBH to your equipment
3. Connect the Wi-Fi adapter to either of the USB ports.
4. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet port to the building
Ethernet network. Use instructions from the building
IT department.

want to reset Wi-Fi and Ethernet settings. If you do
not press the reset button to confirm within five
seconds, the reset operation is canceled.
Result: The Wi-Fi SSID and passphrase and Ethernet are
set to factory defaults. The LEDs stop flickering for two
seconds, then the LEDs return to normal operation based
on the current state of the device.
See Table 3 for more information about LED designations
and flicker behavior.
Reset to Factory Defaults
The Reset to Factory Defaults function resets all device
settings including user profiles. The function also resets
your SSL certificate to the Johnson Controls self-signed
certificate that is included in the device.This function is for
administrators who want to clear all user profiles from a
device. The Reset to Factory Defaults function does not
change the version of the software. If you run a software
upgrade, the SBH retains the upgraded software version
and does not reset to the factory default version .

serviceable parts inside.
The SBH requires no periodic field maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Table 4: Launch issues troubleshooting information
Problem Resolution
When you launch a web browser,
it does not direct you to the SBH
login page.
Reason
Device operation varies based on the device and Internet browser you use. For example, some
devices cache browser information and do not automatically redirect you to the SBH login page
when you launch the browser.
Solution
Direct your browser to www.smartbuildinghub.com
When you upgrade a controller or
HVAC device that an SBH connects
to, the SBH does not display active
or current data.
Solution
Disconnect the SBH from the field controller system bus, and then reconnect it.
When you install the SSL certificate
on your device, it asks you to re-
install it.
Solution
1. Verify that the time on your client device is correct. If the device time is not current, for
example, after a hard reset, close the browser, set the time, and then try to install the
certificate.
2. Check your web browser settings and verify that cookies are enabled.
Verasys Smart Building Hub (SBH) Installation Guide SBH200 7

Table 4: Launch issues troubleshooting information
Problem Resolution
When you install the SSL key or
certificate, the message Error
Saving SSL Settings appears.
Reason
When an SSL key or certificate is corrupted, the SSL page detects it and alerts you to the corrupted
key or certificate. However, if the corruption is minor, for example, if you copied an extra space
while installing the certificate, or you missed a character, the UI does not detect the problem and
saves the corrupted key or certificate. The server detects the error and returns the Error Saving SSL
Settings message. This correctly prevents the bad key or certificate from being used, but it does not
inform you about the source of the problem.
Solution
Reinstall the SSL key or certificate as described in the Smart Building Hub Network and IT Guidance
Technical Bulletin (LIT-12012324).
