The following are the fields for the Add BACnet Connector tool

If the user will input a correct HOST but will put the wrong device instance number in, then an "Unknown Object" error will be thrown at the connector level.

If the user will put the wrong network number/ host/ mac address in, then a "Socket timeout" error will be thrown at the connector level.
