BacnetNetwork (bacnet-BacnetNetwork)
This component is the base container for all BACnet components (devices and proxy points). If added to the station, it resides
under the station’s Drivers container. Its default view is the Bacnet Device Manager. In addition to devices and proxy points, this component contains the station’s BACnet communications protocol stack (Bacnet
Comm), and a Local Bacnet Device, which configures the station’s representation as a BACnet device.
The driver supports only one BACnet network component in a station regardless of how many different BACnet link-layer protocols are being used.
