On the
Device
page, you can change the following properties:
•

The three APDU fields refer to all networks over
which the Room Controller communicates.
Max Masters and Max Info

WebCTRL alarms use Notification Class #1. A BACnet alarm's Notification Class defines:
•
Alarm priority for Alarm, Fault, and Return to Normal states
•
Options for BACnet alarm acknowledgement
•
Where alarms should be sent (recipients)
NOTE
You may need to set up additional Notification Classes if your system will handle
Life Safety alarms or if you need to send certain types of alarms only to an alarm manager
other than WebCTRL.
Priorities

BACnet defines the following Network message
priorities for Alarms and Events.
Priority range
Network message priority
00–63
Life Safety
