This is the UDP port the BACnet network is using. The default is 47808 (BAC0).
APDU Timeout
This is the APDU timeout, in milliseconds to use for devices on the BACnet network. It should be set to
the highest APDU timeout used by any device on the network. Normally, it should be left at the default of

The value specified here is the number of milliseconds to wait between network transmissions on the

may be set lower for faster point updates. Except in extreme conditions, it should be set to 100 or lower.
