Zerotier

LM supports BACnet so this will work on both platforms. If controller is on different subnet we also support FDR, see BBMD settings in BACnet settings.

Thank you.

Hello,
We have a problem that the newly set up zerotier connections are not working. Everything seems to be fine, the devices are visible on both LM5 and the zerotier interface, but LM5 does not respond to the IP address given by zerotier. Do you know of any changes that zerotier has made? The previous connections are working fine.
Thank You!

Did you connect to Zerotier from your PC?

Did you connect to Zerotier from your PC?

Yes, my computer IP address in that network is 10.241.127.25

I think the problem is with me. I probably had too many connections and that's why I couldn't connect to the new ones. Now that I've started to log out of older networks, the newer ones are starting to work, which they weren't before.

Hello,
I am trying to integrate a device running on the 192.168.63.0/24 network with a BACnet/IP system on the 211.67.63.0/24 network. The setup is as follows:

• BACnet server device: 192.168.63.162 (should register as Foreign Device)
  
• BBMD (BACnet client/PLC): 211.67.63.171
  
• Port: 47808
  
• Device ID: 127001
  

Configuration
On the server side (192.168.63.162), I configured:

• BBMD IP = 211.67.63.171
  
• BBMD Port = 47808
  
• TTL = 180 seconds
  

Tests performed
I have a PC in each network. I tried to add a special firewall rule on port 47808, and even to deactivate the firewalls on both PCs

• With Wireshark running on the server’s network interface:
  • I can see “unconfirmed-req I-Am device, 127001” at startup.
    
  • I do not see any BVLC: Register-Foreign-Device (function 0x05) messages sent to 211.67.63.171.
    
• With Wireshark on the BBMD side (211.67.63.0/24):
  • The BBMD sends Who-Is requests for device 127001.
    

It seems to me that it can not be a network admin issue since the request is not even issued as we have  no Register-Foreign-Device frames visible. 
Is there something that should be done to activate the FDR function, appart from filling the 3 last fields of the BACnet server setting page? 

Kind Regards

Did you try to disable and enable bacnet server? When you do this you restart the daemon.

Can you ping BBMD IP from LM (System config > Status > Network utilities)?

yes

I've tried both with a local and a remote server and I get the Register-Foreign-Device message in each case.

Your setup won't work out of the box because 211.67.63.171 is from a public IP address range and LM will reject such incoming messages from public IPs. But the registration message should be sent anyway.

I cannot influence the address of the network in which all BACS BACnet equipments are currently addressed. Given the fact that BACnet cannot be routed, what are the options to have normal BACnet communication?
