Device
Communication
Control Password
The Device Communication Control service is used by a BACnet client to instruct
a remote device (e.g. a BACnet-enabled NMC) to stop initiating, or stop
responding to all APDUs (except the Device Communication Control service) for
a specified duration of time. This service can be used for diagnostic purposes.
Specify the Device Communication Control password to ensure that a BACnet
client cannot control the BACnet communication of an NMC without first
providing the password set here. The password is required to be between 8 and
20 characters, and must contain:
• A number.
• An uppercase character.
• A lowercase character.
• A special character.
It is recommended to update the password when you first enable BACnet. You
do not need to know the current password to update the password.

of the NMC and the local port.
