B3075 Cimetrics BACnet/IP to BACnet/IP Router
Starting the B3075 for the first time
You must configure your router before connecting it to a BACnet network
Before you can configure the router, you need to establish a connection
between a PC and the B3075. Your B3070/ B3075 has three Ethernet
ports—one of them is a dedicated configuration port. Connect your B3075’s
configuration port and your PC’s Ethernet port to an Ethernet network, as
shown below; standard Ethernet cables should be used. The B3075’s network
communication parameters for its configuration port are preset and cannot be
changed.
That port has a fixed IP address: 169.254.14.14
The personal computer must not use DHCP, but rather it should use the
following IP address: 169.254.14.10.
The PC’s Subnet Mask must be set to 255.255.0.0.
How to set the IP address on your Windows PC
To set your IP address, follow these steps:
-
Open the PC’s Control Panel app.
-
Navigate to Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center – Change Adapter Settings
-
Right click on the Ethernet adapter you are using to communicate – Properties — Internet Protocol Version 4 –
Properties – Use the following IP address — 169.254.14.10
and Subnet Mask — 255.255.0.0. Click the “OK” button.
-
Now you are ready to communicate with the router
Login to the B3075
Plug your PC and B3075 (configuration port) into the same Ethernet hub or switch. On the PC, open a web browser and type the IP address of the B3075’s configuration port – 169.254.14.14 then press ENTER.
The router must have completed the start-up phase (check that the Power LED in
front is steady green); otherwise the required web pages will not be visible.
You will be prompted to login: The username is admin and the password is
provided with your router (see the sticker affixed to the router).
Keep the admin account password in a secure location and never lose it! If it
is lost, you will need to reset the router to its factory defaults.
Once you login using the default admin account password, you will see a home page. See the reverse side for a partial list of the router’s configuration parameters.

B3075 Configuration: Partial Checklist
The first decision that you will need to make is whether to configure the
B3075 to use GSA compliance mode. In that mode, you will be required to set
several parameters for proper operation on GSA’s networks before the B3075
will function as a BACnet router, whereas in the non-GSA mode you will have
more configuration flexibility.
In any case, you will need to set several configuration parameters to
appropriate values for your site’s BACnet internetwork in order to ensure
proper interoperation.
