Property Value Description
Calender Ord    
Object ID drop-down list and number (from 0 to 4194302)
Identifies each device and component by the type of entity (Object Id) combined with a unique Instance Number.

For devices (controllers, instruments, meters, etc.), Instance Number must be unique within the BACnet internetwork. For components (points, schedules, analog inputs, files, groups, multi state inputs, etc.), it must be unique within the device.

Object Name text in the format name.name.name.name (default includes the entire component path in the station using period (“/) delimiters between parent.child levels)
Identifies a BACnet object. This name should be unique within this specific device.

For components, this name includes the entire component path under the station’s Config using period (.) delimiters between parent.child levels. This enforces (externally) the BACnet requirement for unique names for all objects in a device.

For a proxy point, this is the default name in the station.

You can shorten or edit Object Name, however, each Object Name must be unique among all server descriptors under the Export Table.

Description text
Provides additional information, which could include the camera’s geographical location or other unique information.
 NOTE: After creation (adding) BACnet file descriptors, note that each descriptor also has additional properties accessible in its property sheet, along with those seen in the Add and Edit window.
