6. Set the BACnet MAC ID Comm2 = Same as old bCX (0 by default)
7. Set the BACnet MS/TP Enhanced Mode = Same as old bCX (TRUE by default)
8. Set BACnet BBMD Enabled/Disabled = Same as old bCX (False by default)
9. Bring the bCX online in Continuum Explorer,
10. Select menu item Options | Send to Controller options
11. Select "Reload attached objects, but not attached controllers" - select ok
