It should also be noted that if some external BACnet network management tool sends a router
table initialize message to this device, the entire page shown here will be replaced. After a delay
of a few minutes, the new contents of this page will be auto-saved to the XML configuration file
for subsequent reload. Thus, the router portion of this BB2-7030 may be remotely managed.
If you leave this page completely empty, all routers needed for routing of traffic will be located
using the Who-Is-Router broadcast to the network. Routers that are found this way, in addition to
any listed here, will be listed on the Discovered page illustrated below.
Use the Prev/Next buttons to scroll through the list of known networks. This list is a combination
of configured networks and those discovered via the Who-Is-Router and I-Am-Router message
exchange.

between MS/TP and IP numerous times. The IP should be connected in a star configuration for
better performance. However, traffic does reach one end point from the other.
