BACNET EXPLORER 

The  Bacnet  Explorer  tab  allows  installers  to  validate  that  their  equipment  is  working  on  Bacnet  without 
having to ask the BMS integrator to test the unit. 

 

To access the embedded BACnet Explorer click the BACnet Explorer tab. 

 

NOTE:  For BACnet/IP, click on the Settings button on the left side of the landing page to ensure 

the BACnet Router is on the BACnet/IP network subnet or to configure BBMD.
