BACnet/IP Automation Level Network
BACnet field panels communicate over a customer's Ethernet cabling and IP network
using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) protocol.
One TALON View workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet-based BACnet/IP
ALNs.
Up to 100 BACnet/IP field panels can reside on a BACnet/IP network (1000
maximum per TALON View workstation).

BACnet MS/TP Automation Level Network
BACnet field panels communicate over a customer’s Ethernet cabling and IP network
using the ASHRAE Building Automation and Control Networking (BACnet) MS/TP
protocol.
One TALON View workstation can administer up to 64 Ethernet based MS/TP
ALNs.
Up to 10 BACnet MS/TP ALN field panels can reside on an MS/TP network
segment (1000 maximum per TALON View workstation). Network segments must
be physically separated.
BACnet devices (field panels or TALON View workstations) can be set up as one
of the following:
A standard BACnet MS/TP device
A BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD)
A foreign device
