devices, the Cross-Trunk Service does not support requests originating from BACnet
devices to access points (objects) that reside in APOGEE P2 field panels.
If you plan to share data values from APOGEE P2 field panels with BACnet devices
(field panels), you must do one of the following:
● Install and enable the Insight BACnet Server Option.
● Use PPCL in the APOGEE P2 field panels to command values in the BACnet
APOGEE P2 and BACnet Product Features Order of Implementation
The APOGEE field panel firmware supports the BACnet protocol as follows:
● If both the BACnet and APOGEE protocols have a function, the BACnet function is
implemented.
● If APOGEE provides a function that the BACnet protocol does not support, the
APOGEE function is retained.
This approach to BACnet implementation retains the APOGEE feature set while
providing compatibility with standard BACnet/IP protocol.
TCP/IP Protocol Compatibility
PXC Compact Series controllers with BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN provide
the following:
● 100% compatibility with the TCP/IP protocol suite.
● Support of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name
Servers (DNS).
● Support and auto detection of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet.
Required IP Addresses
APOGEE BACnet/IP or Ethernet TCP/IP (P2) ALN uses:
● One IP address per device (field panel or workstation).
● One additional shared IP address per ALN for the multicast group (when using
multicast optimization).
Device Registration
Devices register with the DHCP server and Domain Name Server, if either is present.
Address Assignment
IP addresses are dynamically assigned by the DHCP server.
