BacnetDestination (reference)

Available in the “Alarming” folder of the bacnet palette, the BacnetDestination component is a specialized alarm class recipient, for use by stations operating (and licensed) as a BACnet server. When linked as a recipient to an AlarmClass that is exported to BACnet (as a Notification Class object), each BacnetDestination specifies an entry under the “Recipient_List” for that Notification Class.
