2. Lookup the BACnet Error Code: Decoding BACnet Errors - Schneider Electric Community (se.com)
   1. EXAMPLE:  0x8001001f is unknown object, so a device is trying to subscribe to an object (Object Type + Object ID) that does not exist.
   2. NOTE: There could be other error codes not used in this example that are reported.
3. Enable trace by navigating to ~/System/Modules/Trace/Loggers/nsp/nsp.pin/nsp.pin.BACnet/nsp.pin.BACnet.Oms/nsp.pin.BACnet.Oms.COV and change from Information to Trace.
4. Wait for time to pass so Trace.log can collect more records.
5. Review EBO server Trace.log to find the new line before the error, identifying the controller with the misconfiguration.
   1. Example: MSTP device (MAC 3) on local MSTP network is misconfigured for unconfirmed COV to BV 202 

      2023-12-28 14:11:08.439 [T] [2817683712] nsp.pin.BACnet.Oms.COV SubscribeCOV from local network, MAC 3 process 1: <binary-value,     202>, lifetime 18000s, unconfirmed

   2. Example: IP Device (MAC 192.168.198.136:47808) is misconfigured for confirmed COV to AV 204

6. Disable trace by navigating to ~/System/Modules/Trace/Loggers/nsp/nsp.pin/nsp.pin.BACnet/nsp.pin.BACnet.Oms/nsp.pin.BACnet.Oms.COV and change from Trace to Information.
7. Inspect the listed BACnet devices and correct the misconfiguration.
