Enter a device instance from 1 to 4,194,303. Enter a port number (note that 47808 is the standard port expected by most BIP devices).

The description is the device property returned when Description, property ID 28, is read from the gateway. The location is the device property returned when Location, property ID 58, is read from the gateway.

If you will be using BBMD, the port, time-to-live, and IP address of the remote BBMD must be given (for up to three BBMD's). The local BBMD will attempt to register with the remote BBMD's whose addresses are given. Disable BBMD by setting time to live to zero (do this if not familiar with BBMD - this feature is only used in very large networks, and there should be only one BBMD enabled on any given subnet).

If there are no other BBMD's we want to register with, but we want to allow other 'foreign' devices to register with us, enable BBMD by setting the time to live, but leave all BBMD IP addresses set to 0.0.0.0. Up to 128 foreign devices may register with us, while we may register with up to 3 other BBMD's. Broadcast messages received from any of the other BBMD's will be resent to all 128 foreign devices registered with our BBMD.

The object limits default to what the device supports, but may be set lower so that auto-discover routines in other BACnet clients only find the set of objects you are actually using. A minimum of 1 object of each type is required for proper device functioning.

Check the "allow" check box to allow faults to self-reset. These faults include things like Modbus RTU exception response, timeouts, etc. Normally the client needs to read the realiability code to acknowledge the fault before it will automatically reset. By checking the "allow" check box, faults will automatically self-reset without acknowledgement. This is required any time the client does not periodically read reliability codes but does check fault status.

Click Save to store. This store process will take a little while as these parameters are being saved to non-volatile memory. A change in port number will not take effect until the next system restart.
