the requesting device. Status information like LAN

communication activity, field bus traffic communication
and system heartbeat of the Building Network
Adapter is indicated by LEDs on the front of the
device.
Technically, the Building Network Adapter
provides an interface from various Honeywell
controller busses that use RS232/RS485 signals to a
local area network using 802.3 Ethernet protocol.
This allows data to be used by high-level building
management systems such as Enterprise Buildings
Integrator (EBI), Excel Building Supervisor (XBS),
and Excel Facility Integrator (XFI).
This Installation Instruction and User Manual cover
all BNA device types listed below.

If this LED is on, then two or more
devices on the network are
transmitting at the same time. This is
not a fault, but a normal occurrence
on an Ethernet network. However,
when the Collision LED remains on
for all transmission attempts, it may
indicate an abnormal condition such
as an open end-of-line termination.
Rx Receive indicator (Green)
on means that data is received by the
BNA over the Ethernet.
Tx Transmit indicator (Green)
If this LED is lit up, then the BNA
device sends data to the Ethernet.
When data is transmitted, the Rx
indication LED is lit up
simultaneously.
Lnk Link indicator (Green)
shall always be on when the BNA is
connected via the RJ45 connector to
the Ethernet. If this LED is off under
this circumstance, then it will not be
possible to send or receive any data.
If an AUI transceiver is used to hook
up the BNA to the network, then this
LED will be off in most cases because

6 BNA Bootloader
This chapter describes the functions of the BNA
Bootloader software. Each BNA device is equipped
with a Bootloader, which functions in the same way
for all BNA device types.
N o t e : BNA Devices are not equipped with any

application firmware. This must be loaded into
the device prior to using it.
6.1 Startup Behavior

After resetting or power-on the BNA device, all
LEDs on the front will be switched on. Immediately
after that, the BNA Bootloader starts working.
When the BNA Bootloader is active, the heartbeat
LED on the BNA front panel flashes RED.
In contrast, any running application firmware
indicates its execution with a GREEN flashing
heartbeat LED.
The Flowchart depicted in Figure 6-1 explains the
BNA execution sequence. It is necessary that the
user understand this in order to be able to react to
or influence the behavior of the BNA device.
Furthermore, it helps understanding in which state
the device currently is while looking at the LEDs on
the front panel of the BNA.
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 23

6.2 Operating Modes

The BNA Bootloader provides two different
operating modes:
• Normal Mode (default)
• Stay in Bootloader Mode
Normal Mode is the default, which directly starts an
application firmware found in Flash memory. If no
firmware could be found, then the bootloader
command shell is started by the BNA (Figure 6-1).
This execution flow can only be influenced by
pressing the Mode Button and changing the mode
to Stay in Bootloader Mode.
Stay in Bootloader Mode interrupts the default
bootloader startup sequence and tells the
bootloader not to start an eventually existing
application firmware in the Flash memory.
6.3 Switching the Operating Mode

In order to switch the Bootloader operating mode, a
pointed object, like an unfolded paper clip or a
sharp pen is required.
For changing the operating modes, there is a time
window of about 3 seconds after reset. The
following steps have to be performed to
successfully change the bootloader mode (Refer
also to Figure 6-2: Switching BNA Operating Mode):
1. Press the Reset Button
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 25

2. Wait till the heartbeat LED starts flashing RED,

then press the Mode Button.
3. The heartbeat flashing immediately stops and
the LED is permanently on. The operating
modes are displayed using the LAN status
LEDs Lnk, Tx, Rx. The Normal Mode is
represented via the Lnk LED.
4. Now push the Mode Button again and the Tx
LED will also be switched on. Two LEDs on
means Stay in Bootloader Mode is selected.
5. To accept one of the modes, push the Mode
Button again and hold it for about 1 second.
The BNA Bootloader feedback that the mode
has been accepted is indicated with all Mode
LEDs and the heartbeat LED flashing four
times.
If there is no need to change the mode after the
mode button has been pressed, then just stop
pressing the mode button. The BNA device will
continue with its normal work after a few seconds.

6.4 Device Setup

In order to setup the BNA device properly, the
following connections are necessary:
• DB9F Null-Modem cable connected to a PC
running a VT100 terminal emulation program or a
VT100 compatible terminal (refer to Table 6-1:
Terminal settings)
• LAN connection either via UTP (RJ45 connector) or
AUI.
• Power connection.
• An active FTP-Server machine on the LAN
Terminal type: VT100
Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none
Table 6-1: Terminal settings
After having connected all necessary cables to the

BNA, press the Reset button. If the terminal settings
are all Ok, the Copyright notice of the BNA device
will be displayed.
28 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

If this is the very first run of the device, then the

Copyright notice is followed by the query for the
root user password. At the Old password:
prompt just hit the Enter-Key.
Once a password has been defined the BNA prints
the information User 'root' logged in. for
all future startups.
The root user is the administration user with
unlimited access rights. The root user will be logged
in automatically without any login procedure when
connecting to the BNA device via the serial link
(RS232). Any connection to the BNA via LAN is
password protected!
If the device already contains an application
firmware, then it is necessary to put the device into
the Stay in Bootloader Mode prior to the setup
activity (refer to chapter 6.3 Switching the Operating
Mode on Page 25 how this can be done).
To prepare the BNA device to operate on the LAN
and to load the application firmware into the
device, the following mandatory commands must
be executed in the order they are listed (for a
detailed command description, refer to chapter
6.5 Command Description on Page 31):
np Basic network parameters
Definition of IP address, network mask
and default gateway. These definitions
are required to allow the BNA device to
operate on the LAN.
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 29

CAUTION:
Using not-allowed IP-Addresses could cause
interference on the network.
Please contact your network administrator to
retrieve a unique IP-Address. In case you want to
connect the BNA to a customer network make
sure to get in touch with the customers IT
manager to retrieve this IP-Address information.
dc Download configuration
Definition of FTP server, path to
firmware and user account on FTP
server. This is necessary for loading the
application firmware into the BNA
device.
load Load executable from FTP server
This command finally loads the
application firmware (executable) into
the BNA device. After successful
download, the application firmware is
moved into the Flash memory.
This is the minimum command sequence for setting
up a BNA device.
After that the application firmware can be invoked
by entering the command run or by pushing the
Reset button. When the Reset button is pushed, the
BNA Bootloader behaves as depicted in Figure 6-1
on Page 24.
30 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

As mentioned above, the three commands are the

minimum required commands for setting up a
BNA device. We recommend also performing some
user definitions (see command um) for different
user roles. Doing so prevents unfamiliar users from
performing accidental redefinition of important
settings. Furthermore, user definitions can also be
referenced by the application firmware.
6.5 Command Description

The BNA Bootloader provides a command shell
allowing input of several commands. Some of the
commands are providing sub-shells which
themselves are providing another set of commands
to enter.
This chapter describes all BNA Bootloader
commands in detail. The order of the command
descriptions in this chapter follows the order of the
commands displayed by the BNA Bootloader shell
except for the command help. This has been placed
into the first position because it is necessary to get
the list of commands displayed.
The following notational conventions apply to this
chapter unless otherwise noted:
cmd Bootloader command
<key> A key that has to be pressed, like
<Enter>.
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 31

Text Text written with this font shows

terminal output.
N o t e : All BNA Bootloader commands are case-

sensitive!
6.5.1 Help or ?
Entering help or ? at the BNA bootloader>
prompt followed by <Enter> displays all available
BNA Bootloader commands.
In each sub-shell help or ? can also be used to view
the existing commands.
All command lists can vary between different users.
The lists don’t show any commands which a user is
not allowed to execute.
6.5.2 np - Basic network parameters

The basic network parameters command np is used
to define the IP address, the network mask, and the
default gateway of the BNA device. This
information is normally provided by the local IS
department.
np is not a direct command; instead, it provides a
sub-shell with the following commands:
display displays current basic network settings.
modify changes basic network settings. After
entering this command each basic
network parameter will be queried
32 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

individually. After having entered all

requested information, it will be asked
whether to take over the new settings.
If this is denied the old settings will be
restored. Otherwise, the new settings
are stored to the Flash memory and the
system needs to be restarted to activate
the new settings.
delete deletes basic network settings. Please
note that after this operation the BNA
device will not operate on the LAN
anymore. After commanding delete,
new basic network parameters must be
entered via modify.
altmac definition of an alternative MAC-
address. This command is available
only for the sake of completeness. Each
BNA already comes with a unique
Ethernet address (MAC address). So
there will be no need for defining a new
MAC address. It is recommended to
not use this command unless advised to
do so by the Honeywell Technical
Assistance Center.
exit exits the sub-shell and returns to the
main shell.
6.5.3 dc - Download configuration

The download configuration command dc is used
to have a predefined way of retrieving new
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 33

application firmware versions when an update of

the same becomes necessary.
Command dc defines the IP address of the FTP-
Server, the path to the application firmware, a
username on the FTP-Server and the user’s
password. This command must be invoked prior to
using command load.
Prerequisite for downloading an application
firmware is a running FTP-Server machine
somewhere in the network that can be reached by
the BNA device. The FTP-Server machine is
responsible for storing the application firmware
image that shall be loaded into the BNA device. The
application firmware image for the BNA is
delivered on the distribution media of the Building
Management System that is currently used.
The description of how to setup and invoke an FTP-
Server on each specific operating system is not
within the scope of this document. Please refer to
the documentation set of the operating system used
on the machine that has been selected for the role of
the FTP-Server.
dc is not a direct command; instead, it provides the
following commands in a sub-shell:
display displays current download configura-
tion.
modify changes download configuration. After
entering this command each download
configuration item will be queried
34 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

individually. After having entered all

requested information it will be asked
whether to take over the new settings.
If this is denied the old settings will be
restored. Otherwise, the new settings
are stored to the Flash memory. These
settings are immediately active.
delete delete download configuration. After
this operation command load can’t be
used anymore. New download con-
figuration definitions must be entered
using the command modify.
test tests current download configuration.
This command can be used to check
whether the entered download
configuration is valid or not.
With the command test, optional
command-line parameters are allowed.
Accepted parameters are FTP-Server IP-
Address and/or a filename for checking
existence. Given command-line
parameters are temporarily
superseding the values in the actual
download configuration.
N o t e : With some Windows NT

based FTP-Servers it has been
observed that this command fails
sometimes the first time. If so, we
recommend trying it for a second time.
After that the conclusion that one of
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 35

the parameters may be wrong is

acceptable.
main shell.
6.5.4 load - Load executable

The command load is a direct command which
immediately starts downloading the application
firmware image into the BNA based on the
download configuration defined by the command dc.
After loading the image into local memory the BNA
Bootloader starts copying the image into the local
Flash memory where it resides until updated the
next time.
load accepts optional command-line parameters.
Accepted command-line parameters are FTP-Server
IP-Address and/or filename. Command-line
parameters supersede the current download
configuration for these elements. Command-line
parameters in the load command scope can be used
to use an alternative FTP-Server for downloading
or to download another application firmware
image into the BNA device.
If load fails, then it needs to be checked whether the
correct download configuration has been defined.
In this case, the command dc test becomes useful.
36 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

6.5.5 ping - ping

Sends an ICMP Ping through TCP/IP to the FTP-
Server defined in the download configuration or to
the machine addressed by the IP-Address in the
optional command-line parameter.
This command can be used to check whether the
network connection is working properly.
6.5.6 ver - Show installed software

The command ver outputs a list of all installed
software components on the current BNA device.
6.5.7 run - Execute installed software

The command run starts a previously-installed
application firmware.
If no application firmware could be found, then the
information No executable found is printed
out. In this case, use load to download an
application firmware.
6.5.8 um - User management

The user management command um allows the
definition of users, different access rights per user
and user individual password settings.
User definitions are necessary to provide a secure
device on an open TCP/IP network. Furthermore it
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 37

may not be desired that every user will be allowed

to do everything with a BNA device.
These user accounts are required only for set-up,
configuration and diagnostic applications if
available. The communication protocols allowing
the communication between BNA and its building
management system are protected at the protocol
level depending on the type of application
firmware.
It is recommended to define several user roles
because also an application firmware may use these
user definitions to behave different in potentially
provided user interfaces depending on the user
who is currently logged in.
A BNA device allows up to 5 user definitions with
different access rights. The root user already
occupies one of these 5 definitions. Thus, 4
additional users or better to say user roles can be
defined.
A user definition consists of three elements. These
are a username or role name, a group membership
and finally a password.
Usernames and password are freely definable. Both
are maximal 8 character long. Whereas the group
definitions are predefined each of it has specific
characteristics.
Table 6-2 gives an overview of the available user
groups and their properties.
38 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

user View only rights.

Users who are member of this group
are not allowed to change or delete
any existing definition.
priv Privileged rights.

Users of the privileged group are
allowed to change several definitions
like network parameters but they are
not allowed to perform delete
operations. Furthermore privileged
users have no right to perform any
user management.
admin Administrative users.

Administrative users have full rights.
The root user belongs to the admin
group.
Table 6-2: BNA user groups
The user management command um is an indirect

command and provides the following commands in
its sub-shell:
display display current user definitions.
add add new user. The username can
optionally be passed directly on the
command-line.
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 39

delete deletes existing user. The username can

optionally be passed directly on the
command-line. Furthermore an option
–all is available that deletes all user
definitions except the one for the root
user. The root user account can’t be
deleted.
setpass set other user’s password. This
command is helpful when a user has
forgotten his password. The username
can optionally be passed directly on the
command-line.
passwd set own password. Every user can use
this command to change his own
password.
main shell.
6.5.9 whoami - Who am I

whoami prints username and group of the user
currently logged in.
6.5.10 login - Login as different user

The command login allows users to change their
role while they are connected to a BNA device.
This command is not that much useful while
connected via the RS232 port because in this case
the root user is logged in per default. In case of
40 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

using bootloader functionality via a network which

can be provided by the application firmware, this
command becomes more interesting.

7.2 Ethernet Connectors
Figure 7-3: BNA Ethernet connectors
The BNA provides two different types of

connectors to bring the device online on the LAN.
First is a RJ45 10BaseT connector and second is an
AUI connector. This chapter describes the pin
layout of each connector type and shows how the
different cables need to be configured especially for
the connection via 10BaseT (RJ45).
7.2.1 RJ45 Connector

A lot of Ethernet local area networks are using
10BaseT twisted pair wiring. 10BaseT networks are
physically laid out in a star topology, where each
44 EN1B-0198GE51 R0801

piece of equipment on the network is connected to

a central hub. The wiring is connected to devices
using a plug that resembles a phone jack, called
RJ45.

Ethernet Hub the required cable should be
configured as shown in Figure 7-4.

7.2.1.2 Connecting a BNA to a Workstation

When a BNA should be directly connected to a
workstation without having an Ethernet Hub in
between a special cable, called crossover cable, is
required.
Figure 7-5 shows how the different signals need to
be connected in this case.

connections
7.2.2 AUI Connector

The AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) offers an
alternative way of connecting the BNA device to
the Ethernet regardless which Ethernet medium or
technique it uses.
In older network installations Ethernet devices can
be connected directly using a 78 Ω cable to specific
Hubs. In such an environment, the AUI cable
length must not exceed 50m. The end of this 78 Ω
cable is outlet into a 15-pin connector (refer to
Table 7-2).
EN1B-0198GE51 R0801 47

Nowadays the AUI is used to connect a small

device called transceiver, which adapts between the
AUI on the device and the Ethernet medium used
in the current installation.

Tips & Tricks

Tip 1 To simplify downloading, we re-
commend reducing (renaming) the
application firmware image name to
the base name of the image in the FTP-
Server publication directory, e.g.
rename bna_susi_server_v1.0.0.bin to
bna_susi_server.bin.
This has the advantage that even when
updates or upgrades of the application
firmware are delivered, no change is
necessary in each BNA download
configuration.
Tip 2 The BNA Bootloader command shell is
able to execute commands in a sub-
shell directly. For example, it is possible
to invoke the command display in sub-
command shell np directly from the
BNA Bootloader prompt. Just call:
BNA bootloader> np display
followed by <Enter>.
Tip 3 The BNA Bootloader command shell
allows execution of more than one
command by using a “;” between two
commands, e.g.: np display; dc display
<Enter>. When one of the commands
fails, execution is stopped at this point.

FAQs
1. Which terminal type can be used for

connecting to the BNA Bootloader?
For connecting to the BNA Bootloader, any
VT100 compatible terminal or VT100
compatible terminal emulation program can be
used. For the proper terminal settings, please
refer to chapter 6.4 Device Setup on Page 28.
2. After power-on or reset, the BNA device does

not show the BNA bootloader menu on my
terminal. How do I get the correct display?
One reason could be that the terminal settings
are not correct. Please verify the actual terminal
settings. For the proper terminal settings please
refer to chapter 6.4 Device Setup on Page 28.
A second reason could be that an application
firmware is already running in your BNA. As
described in chapter 6.1 Startup Behavior on
Page 23 BNA will start an application firmware
automatically after power-on or reset. To access
bootloader mode, it is required to switch the
operating mode to force the BNA to Stay in
Bootloader Mode. Please refer to chapter
6.3 Switching the Operating Mode on Page 25 for
further information.
