Issue
Can third party BACnet/MSTP devices be placed on the same MSTP bus with MNB controllers?
Environment
- MNB controllers
- MSTP communication bus
- Third-party BACnet/MSTP devices
Cause
Have not test MNB controllers and third-party BACnet/MSTP devices on the same BACnet MSTP communication Bus.
Resolution
There has not been thorough evaluation to know if third party devices can co-exist with MNB controllers. It is not currently recommended by the factory. The best solution is to create a separate BACnet network under a UNC/ENC to support the third party devices.
