The gateway broadcasts a "who-is" looking for this device when a read or write map wants to use this
device. When (if) it responds, its IP address or MS/TP mac address is listed here simply as a diagnostic.
Timeouts resulting from inability to reach this device are tabulated on this page as well, and may be
cleared by clicking the Clear button. To cause the who-is process to be repeated, click Clear Cache.
BACnet IP or MS/TP slave devices that to not support Who-Is/I-Am can still be supported here. When this
is the case, enter the slave device's Mac address in the Static Mac window and check the 'No Who-Is' box.
If located on a remote network via a router, enter the network number as DNet. This static entry
effectively replies to the implied Who-Is.
To use a fixed static address, enter a single number for MS/TP MAC address. or an IP address optionally
including port number. An example of IP address with port number would be 192.168.1.99:47808. The
47808 is the port number, and is separated from the IP address by a colon. Note that 47808 is the default
0xBAC0 port number. If no port number is given, the port configured on the BACnet IP Port page will be
used (the BB2-7010's own port).

The client read maps tell the BB2-7010 which objects to read, from which BACnet devices. Click on the
map number to view the full details of the read map.
Map number simply tells you where you're at on the list of register maps. Click "next" and "prev" to scroll
through the list. To advance directly to a specific map, enter the desired number in the "Showing" box,
then click Update.
Maps entered on this page only read data from remote devices. Go to the Client Write Map to write data to
those devices. The full parameter set is different for read versus write.
An abbreviated version of a list of maps is shown on this page. Any of the parameters shown may be
changed here and registered by clicking the Update button. To view and/or modify the complete set of
parameters, click on the map number in the left most column.
For each remote object to be read, enter the object instance and type, and location (device). The names in
