The Bacnet Comm properties configure the protocol stack for all BACnet communications. Bacnet Comm has a Comm Control property that you must enable for any BACnet communications.
Relative to other Bacnet Comm child containers, the properties under the Client, Server, and Transport containers require little configuration (from default values).
Possible exceptions apply to theServer component. These exceptions are not typical, and can be skipped whenever the station’s BACnet driver operates only in client mode, which means that it is not licensed and configured to operate as a BACnet server.

You access these properties by clicking , and expanding Bacnet Comm; or by expanding the BackupNetwork in the Nav tree and double-clicking the Bacnet Comm container.
