For server configurations the Max_Master and Max_Info_Frames parameters (or properties) can be overridden from a BACnet Client by using the “Write Property” command. Note that when the FieldServer is restarted, the default values as specified in the configuration file will be applied Only one Server Nodes may be defined for each connection.

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.
Client side of the FieldServer is not communicating. When new points are added to the FieldServer it is important to restart the Summit Workstation or •...
When connecting the FieldServer to an ALC BACnet/MSTP module, always start the FieldServer first. Wait until the RUN Led is flashing on the FieldServer before powering up the MSTP module. FieldServer Technologies 1991 Tarob Court Milpitas, California 95035 USA Web: www.fieldserver.com...
