Now that BACnet has been enabled and configured in the job file to be sent to the panel other
software can be used to monitor and interact with the Flex-Net system using BACnet.
Before attempting to connect to the Flex-Net system using BACnet software ensure that there
is a network connection between the computer the software is located on and the FACP. To do
this open a command prompt window using your computer. Press Start, select Run, type
"cmd.exe" and press OK. In the command prompt window type "ping " followed by the IP of the
FACP. If the destination host is unreachable check the network connection and make sure that
the computer and the FACP are on the same subnet with different IPs.
