CAS BACNET EXPLORER FOR VALIDATING PROTONODE IN THE FIELD
Sierra Monitor has arranged a complementary 2 week fully functional copy of CAS BACnet Explorer
(through Chipkin Automation) that can be used to validate BACnet MS/TP and/or BACnet/IP
communications of ProtoNode in the field without having to have the BMS Integrator on site. A serial
or USB to RS-485 converter is needed to test BACnet MS/TP.
