The developers at Optigo Networks have been hard at work, adding exciting new features to Visual BACnet. Here are just a few of the latest updates to version 1.9.9, released on October 10th:
One year ago today, Optigo launched Visual BACnet. When we released the advanced visualization tool on September 10th, it had already been through months of beta testing, feedback, and development. We had revised, refined, and repeated. We knew that a powerful diagnostics and analytics engine would drive the future of BACnet and smart buildings worldwide. We believed...
Does the thought of running Wireshark make you nervous? Wireshark’s got a reputation for being more than a bit challenging. With a little practice, though, you can get so much value out of the program. The first step is to capture, so here’s our step-by-step guide!
Do you dread the letters “MS/TP”? If you’ve ever had to capture MS/TP traffic, you probably do. It’s a complicated process, and can mean a lot of trial and error. You can’t ignore MS/TP traffic and hope for the best, though. Eventually you have to roll up your sleeves, pull out your USB, and dig in.
You’ve spotted a problem on your BACnet network. Devices are dropping like flies, with no apparent explanation. You need to get a packet capture (pcap) if you want to dig in and untangle what’s happening. But the IT department’s worried what sensitive information could be leaked if you pull any data. You’re at a stand-off, with conflicting needs.
Trying to convince your IT department that you can safely pull pcap files? Here...
Controllers are offline. You try resetting your BACnet router to get them back on. It works, and the controllers come online… But then the controllers off of a different router go offline, and you have to solve the problem all over again.
Is your IT department super security-conscious? Maybe they’ve asked you to start filtering and scrubbing all your packet captures (pcaps), and you don’t know where to begin?
BACnet networks are pretty predictable. Apart from new device additions, the network activity is normally very regular and regimented: lighting and HVAC go on and off according to tenants’ needs, while surveillance and security systems remain on. Problems like devices dropping offline, breakers restarting, and a slow network don’t just suddenly erupt out of nowhere… Or at...
