1000 + MAC Address 10 000 to 4 190 256 10 006 where MAC
= 6
When discovering devices with an EC-BOS which has the routing option config-
ured, it will discover all BACnet devices connected to all EC-BOS controllers. Make
sure to add only the devices connected to the MS/TP port of the specific EC-BOS
being configured. Using this numbering system will greatly help to identify those
devices that should be added to a given EC-BOS.
