Talk to BMS

I work in HVAC. The issue is the dehumidifier needs something to talk to the building management system. The unit has an Ethernet RJ45 female connector on the board, and I can connect to 24v AC or DC. I know this is a simple issue for most of you, don’t try to make me feel bad! I don’t have an IT person around the job site that seems to know what I need. Thank you

    You're caugtht a little bit. 

    1. are you just trying to connect the board online? Thats fairly simply and you could get a simple network extender with an ethernet port you could connect to. If that's not what you're needing, then you might want to check with the BMS designers or the humidifiers designers. 

    2. none of netgears extenders/routers work over 24v ac/dc. You'd need to be able to plug them into mains power. 

     

    A little more info on what you're actually attempting to do helps along with what systems those are.
