IP/MAC address. The default Network number of a FieldServer is 5. If there is more than one FieldServer on a BACnet intranet with multiple nodes, the default network number of the additional FieldServers will need to be changed and a unique number allocated to each.
Appendix A.4. FieldServer implementation of BACnet priority Arrays When BACnet Output objects are written to the Server side of the FieldServer, an associated write priority is given to each write value. When the FieldServer receives the write value, it stores it to the Map Descriptor Priority Array Table at the specified priority. The Priority Array Table is then scanned and the value with the highest priority is stored to the Data Array location specified by the Map Descriptor.

COV functionality (SubscribeCOV service) only applies to the Present_Value and Status_Flags properties of BACnet Objects - the SubscribeCOVProperty service is not supported by the FieldServer. For analog Server Map Descriptors the user may optionally configure a COV_Increment value to adjust the reporting threshold.
If the Node Name configured on the BACnet Server Side of the configuration is not being indicated as the Device Name on the BACnet SCADA system, then the FieldServer is not communicating with the SCADA system. If the Device Object's name is being indicated, but the Present_Value shows question marks, then it is likely that the Client side of the FieldServer is not communicating.
McQuay Units are shipped with a default Device instance of the last 6 digits of the McQuay Serial number. Appendix C.2. Trane When new points are added to the FieldServer it is important to restart the Summit Workstation or BCU, otherwise these new points may not be seen by the FieldServer.
