The power supply of the Hub
Make sure that the Hub has been activated beforehand on the user console.
● Ideally, place the Hub in an electrical enclosure or cabinet.
● This type of equipment is not suitable for installation in places that can
accommodate children.
● Attach the Hub:
○ Mount the Hub on a DIN rail.
○ Or attach 2 screws to a wall and hook the Hub using the notches on the back
of the case: Screws of maximum 4 mm in diameter, with a head of maximum
2021-08-V1.3 4

7.5 mm diameter, a spacing of 89.4 mm.
● To avoid any risk of injury caused by the Hub falling, the Hub must not be installed
more than 2 meters from the ground.
● Use a DC power supply of 12-24V DC +/-10%, 2A Max.
2021-08-V1.3 5

● Install the original antenna delivered with the Hub.
● Screw the cable into the power connector of the Hub.
2021-08-V1.3 6

● Connect the cable to the power supply.
● Check that the "Power" LED is lit (steady green light).
2021-08-V1.3 7

● The Hub is protected against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent from the
power supply with indication by LED: green LED when the power supply is
compatible, red LED if it is not suitable.
● Wait for ten seconds: the "Heartbeat" LED flashes (green light).
● Wait for the GSM LED to flash; if the LED does not flash after a few minutes, see
the GSM Antenna chapter.
● Check that the Hub appears on the console: the presence indicator of the Hub
changes from red to green.
● If the Hub appears on the console, it is functional; you can go to the connection
step of the Hub to the equipment and/or the network of the building.
● If the Hub does not appear on the console, see the GSM Antenna chapter.
2021-08-V1.3 8

To connect the Hub to the BMS
● Determine the type(s) of network(s) associated with the BMS (communication
protocols between the BMS server and the technical equipment).
● Obtain, if possible, the schematic of the communication network(s) of the BMS.
Identify where and how the BMS server connects to the building’s network.
2021-08-V1.3 9

In case of IP network (Except LON)
Connection:
● Make sure to have an Ethernet cable
● Connect the cable to the Ethernet port of the Hub ETH1 or ETH2.
● Connect the Hub to the switch (IP network) on which the supervision PC/BMS
server is connected.
2021-08-V1.3 10

● Check that the ETH1 or ETH2 LED lights up.
Configuration:
● If there is no DHCP server on the network, attribute a static IP address, its mask
and the gateway if necessary to the Hub (Discuss with the building’s IT manager).
● If there is a DHCP server on the network, the address is automatically assigned.
Information to retrieve in preparation for the configuration:
● For each device that communicates in Modbus IP
○ From the BMS software, perform an extract of the available properties: list
the data types provided by the different devices to which the BMS has
access.
○ If it is impossible to retrieve this information, get the IP address and TCP port
(and if needed, for some devices, the slave address (Slave ID), the brand,
and model of the equipment, and extra identifying information. This
information is necessary for the installation configuration and to retrieve data.
● In the case of a BACnet IP network
○ Write down the BACnet port of the network. This information will be
necessary for the installation configuration and to retrieve data.
2021-08-V1.3 11

In case of LON IP-852 network
Connection:
● Make sure to have an Ethernet cable.
● Connect the cable to the Ethernet ports of the Hub ETH1 or ETH2.
● Connect the other end of the cable to the IP-852 server on the LON network.
2021-08-V1.3 12

● Verify that the ETH1 or ETH2 LED lights up
● Register the IP address of the Hub on the IP-852 server of the LON network; the
IP-852 server’s password is probably required.
Information to retrieve in preparation for the configuration:
● Write down the Neuron-ID, brand and model of the equipment, and any identifying
information. This information will be necessary for the installation configuration and
to retrieve data.
● If you have the NL220 software, export the LON database as an archive file or as
an NLC file.
2021-08-V1.3 13

In case of LON FT10 network
Connection:
● Make sure to have a USB Echelon U60 FT DIN gateway.
● Connect this gateway to the USB port 1 or 2 of the Hub.
2021-08-V1.3 14

● Connect also this gateway to the LON FT10 network.
Information to get in preparation for the configuration:
● Write down the Neuron-ID, brand and model of the equipment, and any identifying
information. This information will be necessary for the installation configuration and
to retrieve data.
● If you have the NL220 software, export the LON database as an archive file or as
an NLC file.
To connect the Hub directly to the
technical equipment in the absence of a
BMS
● Prepare the list of equipment to be connected and their respective communication
protocols.
● Collect the technical documentation of each manufacturer to know where and how
to connect to its devices (user console, configuration wizard, manufacturer’s site,
etc.).
● Draw up an installation schematic.
2021-08-V1.3 15

The equipment communicates in Modbus IP
To connect only one equipment
● Make sure to have an Ethernet cable.
● Connect the cable to the Ethernet port of the Hub ETH1 or ETH2.
● Connect the other end of the cable to the equipment.
● Verify that the ETH1 or ETH2 LED lights up.
2021-08-V1.3 16

To connect two devices
● Make sure to have two Ethernet cables.
● Connect the cables to the Ethernet ports of the Hub ETH1 and ETH2.
● Connect the cables to the two devices.
2021-08-V1.3 17

● Check that the ETH1 and ETH2 LEDs light up.
To connect 3 equipment or more make sure to:
● Have an Ethernet cable for the Hub.
● Have as many Ethernet cables as equipment to connect.
● Have an Ethernet switch.
● Connect the switch to the power supply
2021-08-V1.3 18

● Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the Hub ETH1 or ETH2.
● Connect the other end of this cable to the Ethernet switch.
