Product Usage Instructions

1. Routing Install:
   Install the BAC-5051AE for BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. Ensure compliance with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J.

2. Browser Configuration:
   Configure the BAC-5051AE using any HTML5-compliant Internet browser without the need for special software.

3. Diagnostics:
   Access embedded metrics for network diagnostics including device counts, frame analysis, and error detection.

4. MS/TP Diagnostics Capture:
   Troubleshoot MS/TP issues by capturing and analyzing network traffic using industry-standard .pcap files.

5. Network Learning:
   The router automatically learns and configures routing for discovered networks.

6. Enable and Disable Routing:
   Use the router as a diagnostic tool to monitor traffic without routing it.

7. VAV Airflow Balancing:

DESCRIPTION

The KMC Controls BAC-5051AE is a multi-port BACnet router. It is powerful enough for heavy network traffic and small enough to use as a control technician’s service tool.

• Routing Install the BAC-5051AE for BACnet IP, Ethernet, and MS/TP routing. IP routing is fully compliant with BACnet Standard 134-2012, Annex J.
• Browser Configuration Configure the BAC-5051AE using only an Internet browser. There is no special software to learn or load.
• Flexible Mounting Two mounting choices for permanent installations–DIN rail or surface mount.
• Diagnostics Embedded metrics include a total number of devices, frame counts, frames in error, data frames, duplicate MAC addresses, token passing, and poll-for-master count.
• MS/TP Diagnostics Capture Troubleshoot MS/TP issues by capturing, saving, and analyzing network traffic. Data is saved in industry-standard .pcap files.
• Automatically Learns Networks Detects and configures routing for the actual discovered networks.
• Enable and Disable Routing Use the router as a diagnostic tool to monitor traffic without routing traffic.
• VAV Airflow Balancing Use an Internet browser as an airflow balancing tool for BAC-8000 and BAC-9000 series VAV controllers.
• AFMS Configuration Use the router to set up an Airflow Measurement System (AFMS).
• Zone Configuration Use the router to set up a BAC-120063CW-ZEC zoning Flexstat.
