4. Discover MSTP slaves (only when Explore Mode is MSTP): Will enable scan of MSTP slave nodes (by
default, only MSTP master nodes will be discovered). If enabled, Start MAC, End MAC and Timeout (in
ms) for the scan can be adjusted.
5. MSTP Slaves through IP (only when Explore Mode is IP): In case that BACnet IP to MSTP routers are
present in the BACnet/IP network, will enable scan of MSTP slaves through the corresponding BACnet/IP
router (note that MSTP master nodes under a BACnet/IP router will always be scanned). If enabled, Net

Start BACnet Explorer: Exploration of the bacnet network will start once the window BACnet Explorer itself
is open. You can Stop and restart it (button Stop becomes Start), in order to stop scanning traffic in the BACnet
network. BACnet devices found in the network will appear in Explorer Results section as they respond.
By clicking each of the devices, its Device Name, Instance, Network Number and Vendor Id will be given in the center
of the dialog.
Once list of devices is shown, next step is obtaining their list of objects. This can be done in two ways:
•
Selecting a particular device and clicking at Discover button
•
Checking all devices whose objects are to be scanned and clicking at Discover Checked Devices button. This
must be used with care when many devices are checked at once. Resulting scan time can become very large.
Either way, when having discovered objects under a BACnet device, they are shown in the list at the right part of the
window:
