MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY Startup Guide 1 Revision 4.0 INTRODUCTION MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY is an external, high performance Building Automation multi‐protocol gateway that has been preprogrammed to support BACnet®1MS/TP, Metasys®2 N2 by JCI, and LonWorks®3. Configurations for the various protocols are stored within the MCS‐BMS‐GATEWAY and are selectable via DIP switches for fast and easy installation. It is not necessary to download any configuration files to support the required applications.
