7.8.9 Enable International Character Support
By default BACnet objects on the device contain ASCII strings in properties such as object
name, description, active/inactive text, state texts. This is the setting most third-party tools
are interoperable with. To support international character sets, the device can be configured
to expose strings as ISO-8895-1 (for most Western European languages) or UCS-2 (for
Unicode character sets such as Japanese).
