    Setup Note: BAPI’s 900 MHz System has many available features and options, so patience is key while configuring the gateway and sensors. Please read all the steps prior to starting which will help with the process. If you have questions after reading all the steps, call BAPI for assistance and one of our wireless tech will walk you through this process.

WAM Link Radio Settings: Adjusts the radio setting on the WAM Link 900 MHz USB Dongle 4. Configure the “Network Tab” Under the “WAM Connect” column you will find a list of all the gateways that are present on the LAN (Local Area Network) that you are on.
  • Page 7 Configure the options on the “WAM Tab” as needed. Off: Turns off the MQTT output. WAM: Sends the MQTT output to the BAPI WAM System or your own MQTT Broker. Fig. 6: Settings Tab on the Design Application Configuration Screen Local: Sends the information to an MQTT broker that sits on the LAN.

By default the gateway assigns the BACnet Object Instance ID for the first sensor starting at 1000. It will go up by 1000 for each additional sensor added, so the BACnet Object Instance ID for the second sensor will be 2000. If a sensor is removed, the next sensor added to the system will have the lowest available default number.

  • Page 12: Backup Or Restore Gateway Information

    39021_RCV_900_BACnet_2020 rev. 02/09/21 Backup or Restore the Gateway The BAPI gateway can be backed up and restored locally. This allows you to reset the gateway in the rare instance that it would be locked up. It also allows you to copy the configuration to a new gateway if you chose to replace a gateway, eliminating the need to perform a network setup procedure on the gateway.
