Cause

At this time, EBO is not BACnet native. Within EBO is an adapter that allows for BACnet to flow through to the AS-Ps/ESs but this is EBO itself is not a BACnet device. Because of this, EBO does not support the upload function.

Resolution

It is recommended to backup the EBO system from AS-P or ES periodically. This will prevent the need for using the upload function in the event an AS-P or other server needs to be replaced.
