BACnet/IP Device

This screen is used to configure access to a single device on a BACnet/IP network.

Settings Tab

Label
Label is the name of the item as displayed in the

Device Tree

.

All items in the

Device Tree

are sorted alphabetically by label.

Folders

can be used to organize items.

Address
The IP address of the device or router (Example: 192.168.0.60). Do not include the UDP port.

Device ID
The BACnet device ID of the device must be a unique number or 0

–4,194,303.

Max. APDU Size
The Maximum APDU size supported by the unit defaults to 480. If problems arise, try a lower value.

Network #
The BACnet network number (0

–65,535) of the unit is only needed for devices behind routers.

Destination Address
The destination address is only needed if the device is behind a router. Usually this is its MS/TP address.

Write Priority
The default BACnet priority to use when writing to points on this device. Setting this to zero forces property
writes to the device to use priority "None". Points can use the "@x" syntax to override this setting.

Group Settings Tab

These determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the default

“Allow Everyone”

enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.

There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.

Advanced Tab

Name
Name is used for advanced features. If left blank, it will be assigned automatically. It is recommended
that the default value not be changed. It can be up to 48 characters. Only A

–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and

underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.

Node ID
This internal reference ID of this node is read-only

— and rarely needed by the user.

Disable communication with this device
Check this box to prevent communications with this device. Uncheck for normal operation.

Template Button

With this you can select a saved template and apply its properties to the new device.

Scan Button

With this you can scan the BACnet internetwork to confirm that the new device properties are appropriate.
