Issue
What is a valid range for Bacnet Network Id - Comm2 on a BCX? Does each vendor get a specific range allocated?
Environment
Continuum BCX Series
Cause
Set a supported ID for Bacnet Network ID
Resolution
The valid range is 1 to 65354
Since bacnet is an open standard, no specific ids have been set for certain companies. Each company decides on its own to use a specific default network id. In our case the default is 2765 which is an attempt to be somewhere in the middle of the range to not affect other controllers from other vendors. Caution must be used with this setting because using the same number can cause collisions amongst manufacturers on the network.
Each Continuum BCX on a system must also have a unique number for this setting. For example, a small system with 3 bCX's might use 2765 for one bCX, 2766 for another bCX and 2767 for the third.
