Device capability Description
Supports schedules The Schedule Object type
with external points defines a standard object used
to describe a periodic schedule
(BACnet Schedule
that may recur during a range of
Object)
dates, with optional exceptions
at arbitrary times on arbitrary
dates.
Supports BACnet par- Device supports schedules as
tial-day scheduling
defined in the BACnet Protocol
(BACnet)
Version 1, Revision 4.
Supports calendar The Calendar object type
defines a standardized object
(BACnet Calendar
used to describe a list of
Object)
calendar dates, which might be
thought of as “holidays,” “special
events” or simply a list of dates.
Supports alarms The Event Enrollment object
(EEO) type defines an event
(BACnet Event
Enrollment Object) (e.g. Alarm) and provides a
connection between the
occurrence of an event and the
transmission of a notification
message.
Supports alarms with The Event Enrollment object
external points (EEO) type defines an event
(e.g. Alarm) and provides a
(BACnet Event
connection between the
Enrollment Object)
occurrence of an event and the
transmission of a notification
message.

How to use
Create schedules that reference
points within the selected device
(e.g. global controller) or points
on other network devices (e.g.
VLC controllers).
Envision for BACtalk adds partial
day scheduling to the schedule
object.
Envision for BACtalk does not
use the calendar object in its
standard schedule interface,
rather the schedule object is
used. Alerton global controllers
such as the BCM-ETH, BCM-
MSTP, etc. do support these cal-
endar objects (See PICS for
supported BIBBs and Objects).
To use the calendar object the
user must use
Tools>Advanced>Calendars
and set the parameters there.
Create alarms that reference
points within the selected
device. The EEO will monitor the
alarm state and provide a
notification to the alarm handler
for distribution to alarm
recipients.
Create alarms that reference
points within or without the
selected device. The EEO will
monitor the alarm state and
provide a notification to the
Alarm handler for distribution to
alarm recipients.
BCM modules support alarm dial
out via the BCM-MDM. BTI-
MDM (on board modem), BTI-
100 and VLX support alarm dial
out via serial communication
port to a connected modem. BTI-
Smoke does not support alarm
dial-out.
When checked, it does this
Checking this capability allows
you to create schedules that
reference points within the
selected device or points on
other network devices. This
capability may not be set when
“Supports Schedules” is
checked.
Identifies the device as
supporting BACnet Protocol
Version 1, Revision 4 schedules.
This setting is used in
conjunction with the “Supports
schedules” or “Supports
schedules with external points”
device capabilities
Checking this capability allows
the Envision for BACtalk server
to create calendar objects in the
selected device (disk file or
global controller).
Checking this capability allows
you to create alarms that
reference points within the
selected device. This capability
may not be set when “Supports
alarms with external points” is
checked.
Checking this capability allows
you to create alarms that
reference points within the
selected device or points on
other network devices. This
capability may not be set when
“Supports alarms” is checked.
Enables dial out communication
capabilities.
