devices (B-ASCs) such as the MACH-Air

and
MACH-Zone
™
cannot read from, or write to, BACnet objects in a SMART-Space Controller.
All other Reliable Controls BACnet devices can read from and write to a SMART-Space
Controller.
The following network schematic shows a typical mix of devices on an MS/TP network
including SMART-Space Controllers.
FIGURE 20: BACNET NETWORKING WITH SSCS
1 Either Device #1000 or Device #7000 can act as proxy for SSC #5000 and
SSC #6000; however, the X-Port-2 cannot act as proxy because it is not
physically connected to the MS/TP main network.
2
Although the X-Port-2 shown connected to the SMART-Net
™
port of Device
#7004 could act as temporary proxy for SSC # 7001, 7002, and 7003, it is not
necessary, because Device #7000 is a more permanent proxy by default. If the
network was not connected to the MPC, the X-Port-2 could provide the proxy
service.
3 If Device # 400,319 is a slave third-party device, it will also be automatically
proxied by the X-Port-2 converter or the MACH-ProCom controller.
