Discovery

Scenario

You want to scan the network for BACnet devices and, once discovered, do one of the following: import the devices only, import the devices and all of their objects, or—for third-party BACnet devices only—import the devices and a partial list of their objects. For background information, see the reference section.

Prerequisites

  • System Manager is in Engineering mode.
  • A logical view has been created.
  • A BACnet driver has been added, a BACnet network has been added, and a BACnet driver has been assigned to the BACnet network.
  • The BACnet network is selected in System Browser.
  • The Discovery tab is selected.
  • Hierarchies have been mapped, and discovery filters have been set.
