FS-8704-06 BACnet IP Driver Manual Page 14 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 names determine the BACnet Object Name. If the Map Descriptor length is greater than 1, the Object Name will be suffixed with the index into the Map Descriptor.
FS-8704-06 BACnet IP Driver Manual • Page 15 of 24 The Map Descriptor property must be Present_Value. Appendix B.4. IP Address Issues related to BACnet IP It is not necessary to configure the IP address of the Server node in the Client Side Node Descriptor in the configuration file since the BACnet Client will automatically discover the IP address based on the Node_ID supplied. It is still necessary for the FieldServer itself to have a valid IP address, however.
