Configure data source

To use the BACnet adapter, you must configure the data source to receive data.

Note: This procedure uses cURL commands for REST endpoint configuration, but other options are available. For more information, see Configuration tools.

Complete the following steps to configure the BACnet data source.

1. Use the PUT method in conjunction with the following endpoint to initialize the configuration:

   api/v1/configuration/<ComponentId>/DataSource.

2. Using a text editor, create an empty text file.

3. Copy and paste an example configuration for a BACnet router or routed device into the file.

   For sample JSON, see Data source examples.

4. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

   For a table of all available parameters, see Data source parameters.

5. Save the file as ConfigureDataSource.json.

6. Open a command line session. Change directory to the location of ConfigureDataSource.json.

7. Enter the following cURL command (which uses the PUT method) to initialize the BACnet data source configuration.

   curl -d "@ConfigureDataSource.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT "http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/BACnet1/DataSource"

   Note: If you installed the adapter to listen on a non-default port, update 5590 to the port number in use.

   If using a component ID other than BACnet1, update the endpoint with your chosen component ID.
