3.3 Back Up BACnet GW-3
Backing up the BACnet GW-3 is important once the gateway is working properly. In some cases, if
the gateway loses power while saving files, the gateway object database may be deleted. Without a
backup file, the gateway will need to rediscover the network and the recipient list may also need to
be set up again.
Step 1. Log into the BACnet GW-3 (refer to
“Log into the BACnet GW-3” on page 30

Auto Discovery and Property Search procedures before backing it up. For more information, please
