BACnet firewall 
Requires v6
-02 or later driver 
If this IP controller is accessible from the Internet, you can increase security by enabling its BACnet firewall. When 
enabled, this feature prevents the controller from receiving BACnet messages from unidentified sources and 
allows communication only with IP addresses that you define. These can be all private IP addresses and/or a list 
of IP addresses. Follow the instructions in the i-Vu® or Field Assistant interface to set up the BACnet firewall. 
 
 
 
Alarm Store/Forward 
On the 
Alarm Store and Forward page, you can change alarm delivery settings for the i-Vu® Open Link used to 
store and forward alarms from a remote dial
-up site.
