This screen is used to configure access to a single device on a BACnet/MS/TP 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.

The MAC address of the device must be 0
–127 and not match any other attached MS/TP device.
Device ID
The BACnet device ID of the device must be a unique number of 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.
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.

This internal reference ID of this node is read-only
— and rarely needed by the user.
