The OptiFlex BACnet/SC router, model G5RE, is a high-performance BACnet router that securely routes BACnet messages between a BACnet Secure Connect hub, the WebCTRL building automation system, and other BACnet subnetworks.
o Arcnet functionality (discontinued by manufacture on July 2022)
Features end-to-end encrypted BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/ SC) routing between BACnet/SC hubs and the WebCTRL system via BACnet/SC, an encrypted datalink layer specifically designed to meet the requirements, policies, and constraints of minimally managed to professionally managed IP infrastructures.
Allows concurrent BACnet networks (BACnet/SC and non-BACnet/SC), allowing facilities to migrate to the BACnet/SC environment over time
Includes two additional BACnet ports to support either two simultaneous BACnet MS/TP networks (up to 127 controllers each) to simultaneously route and share data across a wide range of building subsystems
Can serve as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) routing any BACnet broadcast messages directly to other BBMD devices on the BACnet network
Supports BACnet Foreign Device Registration (FDR)
IPv6 and IPv4 networks are supported
Stateless auto-configuration of addresses (SLAAC), static IPv6 addressing, and DHCP IP addressing are supported
1000 BaseT Ethernet port for high-speed communication
Password protected Ethernet service port at 100 Mbps for system start-up and troubleshooting
Web sever local access for properties such as network and alarm configuration, notification classes, etc.
Capacitor-backed real-time clock keeps time in the event of power failure or network interruption for up to three days
System Benefits
Connects seamlessly to the WebCTRL building automation system
Multiple serial communication ports to simultaneously route and share data across a wide range of building subsystems
