creation. The remainder of this section assumes that NVs and the static interface have been
configured already.
Start the L-Gate Configurator in stand-alone mode and connect to the L-Gate via the FTP
method (see Section 6.7.2). In the Configurator use the BACnet network scan to find
BACnet objects in the network (see Section 6.10.1) or import BACnet objects from an
EDE file (see Section 6.10.2). Select the remote BACnet objects, that the L-Gate shall
access and use them on the device to create client mappings on the L-Gate (see Section
6.10.3). Alternatively, you can create BACnet server objects manually (see Section 6.10.5).
Once the BACnet client mappings or server objects have been created on the BACnet port,
connections need to be created (see Section 6.9.1). This has to be done manually by
selecting the BACnet object and the NV, where this BACnet object shall be exposed to.
