BACnet Object Names When an external BACnet Client builds a list of Object Names, the BACnet Server Map Descriptor name determines the BACnet Object Name. If the Map Descriptor length is greater than 1, then the Object Name will be suffixed with the index into the Map Descriptor. For example, if the Map Descriptor name is SMD_AI_01 and the length 3, then the Object Names will be SMD_AI_0

In order to ensure communication between the BACnet Client and all Servers on a BACnet network, however, it may be necessary to assign a unique network number to each FieldServer. A unique network number will need to be assigned if both of the following conditions are true: • The FieldServer has multiple BACnet Server nodes. • There is more than
