New and improved BACnet Browser
Visual BACnet’s BACnet Browser has gotten a big new upgrade. Back in October, we redesigned the browser into a histogram for simplified troubleshooting. Now, we’ve introduced sophisticated ways to customize your drill downs, save filters, and solve network issues. Read on for three of the biggest changes.
MSIs and SIs
I hear a lot of confusion in the industry about the difference between MSIs and SIs. People don’t know why they should hire a system integrator versus a master systems integrator. Well, there’s certainly space for both MSIs and SIs in the industry right now, but the two are not the same.
Normally, a building will contract or sub out the security to one integrator, and then the building automation to another integrator. Sometimes they’ll even divide by system: “You take care of security, you take care of HVAC, you take care of elevators, you take care of lighting.”
Problematic MS/TP networks
If you’ve ever dealt with MS/TP issues, you know they can be a massive headache. When MS/TP’s acting up, it means getting boots on the ground, clambering around in ceiling tiles, and troubleshooting section after section of network. It’s tedious, time-consuming, and frustrating.
To help relieve that frustration, we recently hosted a mini-webinar on solving major MS/TP issues. Watch our MS/TP webinar, or read on for our guide to finding, understanding, and fixing MS/TP.
