Debug Flags for BACnet Driver Issues

On your management station, problems related to the BACnet driver can occasionally develop. In these cases, using debug flags can help you and Technical Support trace and resolve issues quickly.

The debug flags in the following table are case-sensitive, and you can combine as many as you like to provide specific traces.

Examples

  • One flag: -dbg Alarm
  • Two or more flags: -dbg Alarm -dbg COV -dbg Trend (multiple trace flags require a space between each entry)
