FS-8700-73 BACnet MSTP Driver Manual Page 18 of 24 Appendix B. Advanced Topics Appendix B.1. BACnet Object Names When an external BACnet Client builds a list of Object Names, the BACnet Server Map Descriptor name determines the BACnet Object Name. If the Map Descriptor length is greater than 1, then the Object Name will be suffixed with the index into the Map Descriptor.

Troubleshooting Tips Appendix C.1. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Debugging a BACnet connection: Hints and tips Disconnect the FieldServer from the BACnet network when transferring images to the BCU. If duplicate object instances are accidentally configured in the FieldServer, the second call of the instance will overwrite the first one. This may cause a BACnet Object to be “lost.

Unsupported Properties A request for an unsupported property was received. Segmentation Not Supported Sequence Error Data was requested but the response would have exceeded the maximum size of the APDU and could not be sent using an unsegmented message. Invoke ID of a reply did not match the Invoke ID of the poll.
