Setting up a wiretap

Wiretaps evaluate (sniff) messages after they have been processed by a network port. You add wiretaps as children of the NetworkPorts container in the same way that you add metric components.
Prerequisites: Your BACnet network has been set up and all devices are configured and communicating.
  1. To prepare the Nav tree, expand Config > Drivers > BacnetNetwork > Bacnet Comm > Network.
  2. To set up an MS/TP port, open the bacnet ( Niagara BACnet Driver) palette and expand NetworkPorts.
  3. Drag the MstpPort container to the Network container in the Nav tree.

  4. To add the wiretap components, open the bacnetUtil palette, expand the Wiretaps container in the palette, and drag the ForwardingWiretap and ForwardedMessageSink to the MstpPort node in the Nav tree.
