Below are the steps on how to configure the BT BACnet Stack (BBS) manually if using a FIN zip folder to run FIN on a Windows environment.

Note This does not need to be done for Linux or MAC environments.

First the user will unzip the FIN zip folder and place it where they would like to store it. In this case, we placed it under the FIN Framework folder.

 

Then navigate to the “system” folder of the BBS Lib. The path to is something like this but with your version: C:\Program Files (x86)\FIN Framework\FIN Framework 5.1.4.142\lib\java\ext\BBS_LIB\system

Copy the path to the “system” folder.

Open Windows Notepad or some other note editor program.

Select the “bbs_base.conf” file and drag and drop on the Notepad to view and edit it.

On the 11th line that starts with ConfLoc, replace the C path up to the system location with what was copied. Make sure to add double backslashes. Should look something like this screenshot, but with your path.

 

Once done, save the file.

Start FIN and BACnet should now work.
