Displays the global configurations for BACnet.

The available configuration settings are:

Instance Number - This is instance number for FIN on the BACnet network. The instance number can range from 0 to 4,194,302. This instance number must be unique across the whole BACnet network where FIN is installed.

Local Network Number - The network number can range from 1 to 65534. This number is the BACnet network number for all the devices shared from this FIN BACnet Server. This network number must be unique across the whole BACnet network where FIN is installed.

Local Bind Address - The 0.0.0.0 is the default setting and can be changed if declaring a specific network card that the BACnet stack will bind to.

Port Number - The port 47808 is the default and can be changed if declaring a non-standard port to be used by the BACnet stack.

APDU Timeout - Sets the time in milliseconds or seconds that the connector will wait for a response from a device after sending a request. Default is 6000ms (recommended).

Retry Count - This determines how many times a connector will retry to respond before an error is returned. The higher amount of retries will give the connector more chances to re-establish connection with the device. The default is 3 (recommended).

Server Network Number - This is network number for the BACnet Server if being used. The BACnet Server extension needs to be enabled to use this. If not using the BACnet Server, it is recommended to disable the extension.
