6.5.2 Engineer On-Line
The flow diagram in Figure 106 shows the steps on how to configure the BACnet port when
being on-line. In this case, the device must be present in the BACnet network and
configured with an IP address. The user can connect to the device and scan for existing
BACnet devices and objects on the network.

Start the Configurator in stand-alone mode and connect to the device via the FTP method
(see Section 6.6.1). If changing an existing configuration, upload the current configuration
from the device (see Section 6.6.2). In the Configurator, start an on-line network scan to
discover devices and BACnet objects (see Section 6.9.1). Select the data points that the
device shall expose (see Section 6.9.3). Alternatively, you can create client mappings (see
Section 6.9.4) and local BACnet server objects (see Section 6.9.5) manually. Finally, the
configuration needs to be downloaded to the device (see Section 6.6.4). It is recommended
to backup the device configuration to a file for being able to replace the device in the
network (see Section 6.6.6).
6.5.3 Engineer Off-Line
The flow diagram in Figure 107 shows the steps on how to configure the BACnet port when
being off-line. In this case, the device doesn‘t need to be present in the BACnet network.
The systems integrator can engineer the BACnet port and download the configuration at a
later point in time.
