Siemens Telnet Configuration

For Legacy Systems

  • Minimum of three CopperTree devices per BLN
  • Devices will need to be directly installed to the panels via a serial cable
  • Devices still need an outbound internet connection
  • An additional device installed for load balancing for every 100 TECs beyond 150
  • The panels must be telnet enabled
  • User account setup on all panels with same privileges as “low” account
  • The baud rate for the MMI port should be set to 9600 or higher (115200 is preferred)
    • The baud rate for the MMI port should not be lower than the bus’ baud rate

For Siemens Apogee IP Enabled Systems

  • One CopperTree device per 18 FLN panels is recommended
  • Please provide CopperTree with the following:
    • The number of BLNs (building level networks)
    • BLN subnet(s)
  • Installation location identification is required (panel name/physical location)
  • User account should be set up on all panels with the same privileges as “low” account
