Cause

Resolution
Configuring a new b3 using a BACnet system other than Continuum or EcoStruxure Building Operation is NOT supported.
- Brand new b3s are shipped from the factory without a valid master MAC id, which means the b3 will not participate on MSTP communications until it has been assigned a valid mac id via a proprietary LEARN mechanism.
- b3s do not support dynamic object creation of IO points or programs which can only be created using Schneider Electric's Continuum or EcoStruxure Building Operation BACnet BMS.
