3.1.7 Viewing BACnet GW-3 Activity with the BACNet Gateway
Configuration Tool
The Gateway Activity window displays information about panels, network objects and NUP events
processed by the BACnet GW-3. This utility tracks up to the 4,000 most recent records. Store this
information permanently by clicking Save.
NOTE: The NFN network must be stable with very few events in order for the discovery process
to discover all objects upon initial configuration. After initial configuration, the BACnet GW-3
updates the network daily at its specified Network Update Time (the default time is 2:00:00).
It is helpful to launch the Gateway Activity window before connecting the BACnet GW-3 to an
NFN network or directly to a Fire Alarm Control Panel, so you can monitor the messages the
BACnet GW-3 generates in its initial Auto Discovery and Property Search routines. To open the
Gateway Activity window:
Step 1. Log into the BACnet GW-3 (refer to
Step 2. Click View
The Gateway Activity window opens. Network traffic will affect the time required to populate the
Gateway Activity window.
