To use the NiagaraAX Bacnet driver, you must have a target JACE host that is licensed for the feature “bacnet,” or a PC host acting as a BACnet Supervisor (meaning it is also licensed for bacnet). See the next section Bacnet licensing considerations for further details.

Link layer types BACnet/IP and BACnet/Ethernet are supported by any NiagaraAX platform. However, please note that BACnet MS/TP trunks are directly supported by QNX-based JACEs only, for example a JACE-6. Separate Bacnet MS/TP licensing is also required. Other platforms can indirectly support MS/TP devices through BACnet routers.

The following sections provide details about Bacnet driver licensing and software installation:
