3) Upload bacnetProperties.trio file
Next, the user will upload the bacnetProperties.trio file and tag it with the bacnetProperties marker tag. Only one is needed but multiple with different properties can be added if needed.
Note: this trio file contains the list of properties that you wish to read from your device. The property tags will be applied to the connector when selecting to add the connector as a template from the discover window or when using the Template Wizard. You can use the one provided above and/or copy from and modify as needed for your template. It can also read from a point if the instance is provided. Look at screenshot below. It will look for the point that is AV4 and grab its present value and set that as the value for the applicationNumber tag.
Thats it, now the user can go ahead and use the old process with the Connector TemplateOn tool after discovering/adding devices. If discovering bacnet, be sure to add them as templates so that they get tagged according to your bacnetProperties.trio file. (Add BACnet Template Connector). If the user has the Template Wizard pod, then they can use the new process with the Template Wizard.
