Configuration of the local latitude and longitude. The latitude and longitude are used for the calculation of the time of sunrise and sunset for the astronomical time clock schedules.
Language
The supported languages are English and French.
Latitude
The local latitude coordinate that specifies the position of the system in the north or south direction on the surface of the earth. It is measured as an angle, ranging from -90 degrees at the South Pole to 90 degrees at the North Pole, with zero degrees at the Equator.
Longitude
The local longitude coordinate specifies the position of the system in the east or west direction on the surface of the Earth. It is measured as an angle, ranging from minus 180 degrees at the westernmost point to 180 degrees at the easternmost point, with zero degrees at the Prime Meridian.
Sunrise and Sunset of the Year
The table lists all the calculated sunrise and sunset times for the current year, based on the configured latitude and longitude. The first row displays the times for the current day.
Network IP

Network IP - Remote Capture
The Remote Capture feature allows BACnet/IP traffic received and transmitted to be mirrored and sent to a specified remote IP address.
This enables the analysis and troubleshooting of BACnet communication using external tools such as Wireshark.
It is useful for diagnosing network problems, verifying device behavior, or recording protocol exchanges without requiring a network TAP (Test Access Point) or switch with port mirroring.
Sending packets to the remote host begins approximately 2 minutes after boot-up.
| Name | Unit | Limit | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enable | Choice | Enable / Disable | Disable | Enable or disable the forwarding of BACnet/IP packets to the remote capture host |
| Remote IP Address | IPv4 Address | The IPv4 address of the computer running the packet capture software. This host must be reachable | ||
| Remote Port | Number | 0-65535 | 47808 | The UDP port on the remote host where packets are sent. Default 47808 corresponds to the standard BACnet/IP port but can be set to another value if needed by the capture software |
⚠ Remote Capture is intended for diagnostics and testing. It should normally remain disabled during standard operation to avoid unnecessary traffic.
⚠ Forwarding packets increase memory and network usage. On busy networks, enabling this feature continuously is not recommended.
⚠ Ensure that the remote host is running a packet capture tool (e.g., Wireshark) configured to listen on the defined port.
Syslog Client
The Syslog Client allows forwarding system and application messages to a remote Syslog server for monitoring, diagnostics, and logging purposes.
| Name | Unit | Limit | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enable | Choice | Enable / Disable | Disable | Activate or deactivate the Syslog client |
| Syslog Server IP Address | IPv4 Address | Specify the IP address of the remote Syslog server | ||
| Syslog Server Port | Number | 0-65535 | 514 | Specify the UDP port of the remote Syslog server. Default is usually 514 |
The Sources define which internal modules or events generate Syslog messages. Each source can be enabled or disabled depending on the required logging.
⚠ Syslog Client is intended for diagnostics and testing. It should normally remain disabled during standard operation to avoid unnecessary traffic.
⚠ Syslog messages increases memory and network usage. Enabling this feature continuously is not recommended.
⚠ Enabling the Syslog Client may generate a large number of network messages depending on the selected sources. This can increase network traffic and load on the Syslog server. It is recommended to enable only the sources required for diagnostics.
