Notable Fixes & Enhancements
F200 Default Settings
Based on customer feedback, we’ve configured default settings for the F200 for new installations and project creation.
Host Settings:
Log purge = 30 day
Password expiration = 0
Max failed login attempts = 0
Settings app:
History purge = 6 months
Snapshot purge = 2
Alarm purge = 30 day
Actions
Previously, selecting the actions value field caused the point actions to break. This issue has been resolved, and the Zinc syntax now remains intact, ensuring point actions function properly.
BACnet and Schedules
We resolved an issue with FIN schedules going blank after rebooting the FIN service when using the BACnet read/write feature configured through the BACnet Schedule Configuration tool.
All Fixes & Enhancements

| BACnet: When writing new values to the BBMD_Broadcast_Distribution_Table, BBMD_Accept_FD_Registrations, FD_BBMD_Address, FD_Subscription_Lifetime properties, the Changes_Pending property now updates to TRUE as expected. When the IUT (Implementation Under Test) is configured in Foreign mode, it now correctly handles out-of-range property values during WriteProperty requests. |

| F200 Device: Included new default settings upon installation and project creation. |
| Point Essentials: Selecting the value field of the actions no longer breaks the Zinc syntax, ensuring the point actions remain functional. |
| Schedule: Weekly event values are now correctly displayed when they are edited. |
