Issue
After a find new BACnet devices in Continuum or EBO, 3rd party devices may come in and that we do not know the IP address of.
Product Line
Andover Continuum, EcoStruxure Building Operation
Environment
- Continuum Cyberstation BACnet Operator Workstation
- EcoStruxure Building Operation
Cause
BACnet devices IP addresses in Continuum explorer and EBO are encoded in HEX per BACnet Standard. BACnet IP addresses in BACnet are described as BACcnet MAC address.
Resolution
3rd party IP level device is already in the BACnet side of Continuum, the IP address in HEX located as BACnet MAC address.
Right-click and edit the third party device and use the BACnet MAC address to decipher. That is the IP address plus the port used to communicate
For instance:
The BACnet MAC address on the device editor is 0A9F1ACFBAC0
That would be 0A = 10, 9F=159, 1A=26, CF=207
The IP address would be 10.159.26.207 and BAC0 is 47808 on the port.
If you have exported to Excel and need a solution to covert, please reference IP address from BACnet MAC Address (SBO & Continuum)
