To configure the Bacnet LocalDevice

You must define one essential Bacnet LocalDevice property—the Device object ID used by the station (see An essential Local Device property).

To configure this essential property, in the station with the BacnetNetwork (or BacnetAwsNetwork, BacnetOwsNetwork, or BacnetWsNetwork):

1. Right-click the BacnetNetwork and select Views->Property Sheet.

   This produces the network’s property sheet.

2. In the property sheet, click to expand the Local Device (see Figure 14).

   You can alternately use the Nav side bar, and simply double-click Local Device.

3. In the numerical Object Id field, change the entry from “-1” to a valid, BACnet Device instance number, unique across the entire BACnet internetwork (range is 0 to 4,194,302).

   Make sure you are using an instance number that is NOT being used by any other BACnet device on the job!

4. Click the Save button.

   Above the Object Id, the Status should change from {fault} to {ok}, and the Fault Cause should change from “Invalid Object ID” to blank.

5. In the property sheet, click to collapse the Local Device.
