Feature Request

  • As per topic.
    According to the protocol specs for Bacnet. In terms of broadcasting, there are three types and
    they are; local broadcast, remote broadcast and global broadcast.

There is a limitation on the current client whereby devices behind a BBMD, bacnet router, is undiscoverable as they cannot be reached by the standard local broadcasting.

Current Behaviour (Bug Report)

  • The client can only broadcast to a LAN.

Expected Behaviour (Bug Report)

  • User should be able to decide which mode of broadcast to perform. Nice to have, configure the max hop when doing global broadcast.

Configurable network destination value, default it to 65535
