LICKS
By clicking the right-mouse button on the BACstat icon in the left pane of Navigator you gain access to
a number of device commands.
Command
CLEAR DATABASE
: The clear database feature (YES or NO) resets the configuration settings to the
default. The following are not cleared: Baud Rate, Device Address, DNA/LINKnet, MaxMaster and
Max Info Frame.
U
PDATE
A
CTIVE

LARM
L
IST
: Not supported at this time.
C
OMMUNICATION
C
ONTROL
: This allows an OWS user to enable or disable a remote device from
initiating and responding to all BACnet services, except for Device Communication Control services
and Reinitialize Device services. It is primarily used for diagnostic purposes. Passwords are not
supported (and need not be entered) for BACstats, and the time duration is infinite.
R
ECONFIGURE
: If DNA is enabled on the BACstat, this will re-configure its address by deriving portions
of it from other higher-level devices (for Area and System numbers). BACstat DNA addressing limited
to 4194199.
R
ESET
: This will reset the device, similar to powering it off and then back on again.
Reload
D
ESCRIPTORS
: This will reload the BACstat descriptors up into ORCAview OWS. This is particularly
useful if for some reason the OWS is out-of-sync with what objects and object names the BACstat has.
S

O
BJECTS
: Not supported at this time.

LARMS

N
OTE
:
Loading databases between different models may cause database
load failures. For example, DNT-T103 ↔DNT-H103 ↔ DNT-T221, etc.
Load
This provides the capability of loading a BACstat file (which you have previously saved) into a
BACstat, and in so doing will configure it with the settings contained in the file. You can reload the file
either back into the source BACstat or into another BACstat. You can even use the same BACstat file to
load into multiple BACstats and thus copy the same configuration settings from one device to another.
Refer to Copying in item 3 above.
Save As
This provides the ability to save the BACstat object names and values to a file. You are not saving the
entire object structure as is done when saving DCU or Application Controller databases – you are only
saving object properties (names and values) – an important distinction since you cannot create or delete
objects in a BACstat. But since all the essential configuration information is contained in object values,
you are in fact saving the BACstat
configuration
to a file.
