Port object model

State flag
'State flag' indicates the four states for the network port. Out of service "Out of service" indicates whether the network port is out of service (or not). The 'Reliability property' is no longer updated if set to "Out of service". Overridden Value = False Fault "Fault" indicates whether the network port and the network are reliable (or not). In alarm Value = False

State flag

'State flag' indicates the four states for the network port.

Out of service
"Out of service" indicates whether the network port is out of service (or not).
The 'Reliability property' is no longer updated if set to "Out of service".
Overridden
Value = False
Fault
"Fault" indicates whether the network port and the network are reliable (or not).
In alarm
Value = False

Reliability
'Reliability' indicates whether the network port and the network are reliable. The 'Reliability' property initiates troubleshooting if the network port and the network are not reliable. In a normal case, the property 'Reliability' is set to "No fault".

Change in progress
'Change in progress' indicates whether the configuration settings on the network port object match the present configuration settings.
False	The configuration settings mirror the present port configuration information.
True	Indicates that the configuration settings were changed, but not yet enabled.

Command
'Command' permits triggering of various actions, executed by the network port object. A new command can only be written if the value of property 'Command' is inactive.
Command	Function
Inactive	Default value.
Activate	The current configuration property settings are enabled. A new command "Enable" can only be written if the value of property 'Command' is inactive'. The property value remains active until the activation is ended or fails. Property 'Command' is set to inactive if the 'Change in progress' property is set to false. 'Change in progress' is set to false and property 'Command' is set to inactive if the settings are successfully activated. Property 'Reliability' is set to "Activation failure' if the settings fail to activate. 'Change in progress' remains true and property 'Command' is set to inactive.
Discard changes.	The changed configuration property settings are discarded. A new "Discard changes" command can only be written if the value for property 'Command' is inactive. The changed properties return to the set of property values that existed the first time 'Change in progress' was set to true. The property 'Change in progress' is set to false and property 'Command' is set to inactive.
Restart port	The device reinitializes to restart and reconnect to the network. A new 'Restart port' command can only be written if the value of property 'Command' is inactive. The property 'Change in progress' is set to false and property 'Command' is set to inactive.

Out of service
'Out of service' indicates whether the network port is out of service (or not). The network port is not operational if 'Out of service' is true and communication is disabled via this port. Network resources are enabled or disabled for this port based on the underlying hardware. The network port is operational if 'Out of service' is false and communication is enabled via this port. All network resources are active this port. Property 'Command process state' is set to true if 'Out of service' is changed. The new value for 'Out of service' enables (False) or disables (True) the network port for this object if a value for "Restart port" is written to the 'Command' property. If 'Out of service' is true, then the value 'Activate' of the 'Command' property results in property error "Value out of range". 'Out of service' cannot be set to true (disabled) for the first or primary network port.

Out of service

'Out of service' indicates whether the network port is out of service (or not).

The network port is not operational if 'Out of service' is true and communication is disabled via this port. Network resources are enabled or disabled for this port based on the underlying hardware.
The network port is operational if 'Out of service' is false and communication is enabled via this port. All network resources are active this port.
Property 'Command process state' is set to true if 'Out of service' is changed. The new value for 'Out of service' enables (False) or disables (True) the network port for this object if a value for "Restart port" is written to the 'Command' property.
If 'Out of service' is true, then the value 'Activate' of the 'Command' property results in property error "Value out of range".
'Out of service' cannot be set to true (disabled) for the first or primary network port.

Object usage
'Object usage' indicates whether the object is used (or not). Property 'Object usage' shows or hides the impacted objects and their functionality in a client and enables or disables the network port.

Network port identification
'Network port identification' selects the physical network interface on the BACnet device that is connected to this network port. The maximum number of available network interfaces depends on the actual hardware.
