  • Page 5: Description

    This document describes the integration of BACnet MSTP and BACnet IP installations into ASCII serial (EIA232 or EIA485) or ASCII IP compatible devices and systems using the Intesis ASCII Server – BACnet Client gateway. The aim of this integration is to make accessible BACnet system signals and resources from any system capable to be programmed to read and write simple text messages through EIA232 or EIA485 serial port or Ethernet TCP/IP port (for example Extron, LiteTouch systems).

  • Page 7: Bacnet Interface

    BACnet/IP and BACnet MSTP physical layers are supported. Only one physical layer can be used at a time. This is, if communicating to BACnet using BACnet/IP, BACnet MSTP cannot be used, and viceversa. © HMS Industrial Networks S.L.U - All rights reserved https://www.intesis.com...
