  1. In System Browser, select Management View.
  1. Depending on where the BACnet Driver is located (Desigo CC server or FEP station), select one of the following:
  • Project > Management System > Servers > Main Server > Drivers

  1. Click the BACnet tab.
  1. Open the BT BACnet Stack Config expander.

    - BACnet/SC
    - Ethernet
