When the Auto Slave Discovery field for a network is enabled, the slave proxy device will
rediscover all BACnet slaves on that network whenever the device is powered up, and
every two minutes thereafter. To minimize network traffic on systems in which new BACnet
slave devices are unlikely to appear, Auto Slave Discovery field can be disabled.
If Auto Slave Discovery is disabled, new slave devices may still be added to a slave proxy
device by using the Manage Slave Devices worksheet.
FIGURE 53: MANAGE SLAVE DEVICES WORKSHEET
To open the Manage Slave Devices worksheet, select a device in the RC-Studio BACnet
System Tree, and then right-click and select BACnet Advanced > Manage Slave Devices
from the right-click menu.
Slave devices that have been auto-discovered or previously created will appear in the
Manage Slave Devices worksheet. For any slave device to appear in the BACnet
Network Status worksheet, the In Manual Binding Table field must be set to Yes.
If Auto Slave Discovery is disabled for a network, additional devices can be added to a
slave proxy device by clicking the Add Slave Device button in the Manage Slave Devices
worksheet. This action opens the Add Manual Slave Device dialog box.
FIGURE 54: ADD MANUAL SLAVE DEVICE
For a new slave device, enter values for the Device # field, the Network # field, and the
MAC field, and click the OK button to add the new device to a network. If the slave proxy
service for the network is enabled, the new device will immediately become visible to other
BACnet devices on the BACnet network.
