This page allows you to configure slave proxy support to enable auto-discovery of MS/TP slave devices. This router will respond with an I-Am message on behalf of the device(s) listed above when a Who-Is is received.

Enable Slave Proxy Mode on the BACnet Settings page. If Manual mode is selected, then enter the slave device information for a given slave, and click Add. Repeat the Add for each slave to be manually configured. If Auto mode is selected, then you can disregard the Add. If you with to remove a previously configured (or auto configured) slave, enter just the MAC address and then click Remove.

If you have initially selected Auto mode and wish to capture the discovered slaves and convert them to Manual mode entries, click the Convert button. After clicking Convert and saving the configuration file on the File Manager page, you may then switch to Manual mode to reduce overhead on the MS/TP link.

The local device info is not used on the network. It is simply present to aid in documenting the proxies.

Use the Update, Prev, and Next buttons to view the list of currently configured slaves for which proxy support is configured.

The Mode in the first column will indicate the following:
M = Added using Add button above, or by writing to Device Object Manual_Slave_Address_Binding property
U = Added as for 'M' but not responding
X = Added as for 'M' but found to execute Who-Is (is not a slave)
A = Discovered by Automatic slave proxy mode
S = Added by writing to Device Object Slave_Address_Binding property (temporary binding)
