 Introduction

What is the i-Vu® CCN Router?

The i-Vu® CCN Router is an integral part of the i-Vu® system. It connects an Ethernet-based Local Area Network
(LAN) to the Carrier Comfort Network (CCN). The i-Vu® CCN Router can be used in two different configurations. It
serves as a Gateway, where it gives the i-Vu® server residing on the Ethernet LAN access to the entire CCN, or it
can function as a Bridge, where it creates secondary CCN communication buses in order to add additional CCN
elements to the system. Because the i-Vu® CCN Router allows for the use of existing LAN wiring, it is an ideal
solution for integrating CCN into any building or facility.
The i-Vu® CCN Router has one EIA-485 port for connecting to the CCN bus, and one 10/100Base-T Ethernet port
for connecting to the building LAN. Each i-Vu® CCN Router can connect to up to 140 CCN devices. The i-Vu® CCN
Router also stores trend data and time schedules for the CCN devices that are connected to it.

The i-Vu® CCN Router functions in one of the following modes, depending on configuration:
• Gateway - Provides access to the CCN bus from an i-Vu® web server that resides on the Ethernet. The i-Vu®
CCN Router is the access node from the Ethernet to the CCN, responsible for maintaining a routing table of
CCN system elements.
In this application, the i-Vu® CCN Router is connected directly to the CCN’s primary bus (Bus 0), and, like
other CCN system elements, occupies a unique address on the CCN (Bus 0, Element 1-239).
• Bridge - Acts as a CCN/Ethernet interface device in applications where the Ethernet is being used to connect
separate CCN buses. This application requires an additional i-Vu® CCN Router functioning as a Gateway.
In this application, each i-Vu® CCN Router occupies a unique bus and element address on the CCN. When
configured as a Bridge, it is addressed similarly to other CCN Bridges where the system element number on the
primary bus identifies the secondary bus number.

 Mounting and wiring

Mounting and wiring

To mount the i-Vu® CCN Router

WARNING
When you handle the i-Vu® CCN Router:
• Do not contaminate the printed circuit board with fingerprints, moisture, or any foreign material.
• Do not touch components or leads.
• Handle the board by its edges.
• Isolate from high voltage or electrostatic discharge.
• Ensure that you are properly grounded.
Screw the i-Vu® CCN Router into an enclosed panel using the mounting slots on the cover plate. Leave about 2 in.
(5 cm) on each side of the controller for wiring.

To wire for power

1 Make sure the i-Vu® CCN Router’s power switch is in the OFF position to prevent it from powering up before
you can verify the correct voltage.
2 Remove power from the power supply.
3 Pull the screw terminal connector from the control module's power terminals labeled 24V ac/dc and Ground.
4 Connect the transformer wires to the screw terminal connector.
5 Apply power to the power supply.
6 Measure the voltage at the i-Vu® CCN Router’s power input terminals to verify that the voltage is within the
operating range of 21.6 – 26.4 Vac or 23.4 - 28.6 Vdc.
7 Insert the screw terminal connector into the i-Vu® CCN Router's power terminals.
8 Turn on the i-Vu® CCN Router's power.
9 Verify that the Run LED (a dot in the lower right corner of the Module Status LED) begins blinking. The Module
Status LED will display 8 for about 5 seconds and then reverts to 0, until Open controllers have been found
and downloaded. There is a chase pattern when the controller is running with no errors.

 Configuring IP for the i-Vu® CCN Router

Configuring IP for the i-Vu® CCN Router

The i-Vu® CCN Router must be commissioned using Network Service Tool on Port S1.
1 Use Network Service Tool V (NST V) to connect the i-Vu® CCN Router directly into Port S1, which is
designated for CCN communications.
2 Upload the i-Vu® CCN Router (Default CCN Address 0, 1).
3 Access the Service Configuration Table IP_CONF to enter the following configuration options:
NOTE A static IP address is required, as DHCP is not supported.
○ Host IP Address - enter the device manager's IP address, provided by the LAN administrator (allowable
entries for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx is a decimal number between 0 - 255)
○ Subnet Mask - enter the device manager's IP address, provided by the LAN administrator (allowable
entries for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: xxx is a decimal number between 0 - 255)
○ Default Gateway - enter the IP Gateway's IP address, provided by the LAN administrator (typically a
router on the Ethernet LAN).

CCN ENET Configuration

Device Type -
○ Select Gateway if the converter connects the primary CCN Bus (Bus 0) to the Ethernet, and toggle the
spacebar to select 0.
○ Select Bridge if the converter connects a secondary CCN Bus to the Ethernet and toggle the spacebar to
select 1.
NOTE You can only have one Gateway per system.

If configured as a Bridge:
○ CCN/Ethernet Gateway Address - enter the IP address of the i-Vu® device manager that is configured as
the CCN Ethernet Gateway. This is the same address that was entered in the Host IP address for the CCN
Gateway. (Entries are allowed for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx are decimal numbers between 0 - 255.)
NOTE When the device manager is configured as the Gateway, it ignores the CCN/Ethernet Gateway IP
address. In this case, leave the CCN/Ethernet gateway address at its default setting (0.0.0.0.).

4 Repeat the above steps for each i-Vu® device manager used in the CCN system.

 Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
If you have problems mounting, wiring, or addressing the i-Vu® CCN Router, contact Carrier Control Systems
Support.
NOTE To help you troubleshoot, obtain a Module Status (Modstat) from the controller and review the System Error
and Warning details.

Formatting the i-Vu® CCN Router

CAUTION This erases all archived information and user-configuration settings. You will have to reconfigure
all custom settings. It is recommended to restore the factory defaults only under the guidance of Carrier Control
Systems Support.

To erase volatile memory data and restore factory default configuration settings:
1 Turn off the i-Vu® CCN Router's power.
2 Hold down the i-Vu® CCN Router’s Format button while you turn its power on.
3 Continue to hold down the Format button until the module status LED displays 8 and then 0, then release the
button.
4 Sets the Bus and Element number to 0, 1, which must be reverted using the Network Service Tool.
5 In the i-Vu® interface, select the i-Vu® CCN Router in the navigation tree, go to the Downloads page and
Download All Content to download the control programs, drivers, and parameters.

LED's
The LED’s indicate if the i-Vu® CCN Router is speaking to other devices on the network. The LED’s should reflect
communication traffic based on the baud rate set. The higher the baud rate, the more solid the LED's will look.
The Module Status LED can display the following error codes.

 Troubleshooting

To replace the i-Vu® CCN Router's battery

The i-Vu® CCN Router's 10-year Lithium CR123A battery retains the following data for a maximum of 720 hours
during power outages: time, control programs, editable properties, schedules, and trends.
To conserve battery life, you can set the driver to turn off battery backup after a specified number of days and
depend on the archive function to restore data when the power returns.
A low battery is indicated by the Battery low LED or a low battery alarm in the i-Vu® application. You can purchase
replacement batteries from any retailer that sells a CR-123A battery.
1 Verify that the i-Vu® CCN Router's power is on.
2 Using a small flathead screwdriver, pry up each side of the black battery clip until it is free and you can
remove it.
3 Remove the battery from the controller, making note of the battery's polarity.
4 Insert the new battery into the controller, matching the polarity of the battery you removed.
5 Push the black clip back onto the battery until you hear both sides click in place.
