Hi Joshua,

It should mostly be managed for you, but you'll probably not get a definite answer to this open-ended question, as the original author of BACnet4J hasn't posted on the forum in quite a while.

I know a significant part of its use it to ensure a device configured expecting to be able to find a remote device doesn't flood the network trying to discover it over and over again (assuming the remote device isn't responding).

But, you'd have to see how it's used to see the purpose of its design. I wouldn't expect a complete set of declarative sentences to avail itself.

@phildunlap Perfect, thank you. Not sure how I missed that file before, but it will be extremely useful in the future.

Cheers!

Certainly! Thanks for sharing the resolution!

Sure. I meant that as an aside to anyone who may stumble onto this thread and was in need of something like connecting a mstp network and an ip network; to say there is not to my knowledge any prebuilt MSTP-IP converter functionality in the LocalDevice code. Could also have been a useful inclusion if I didn't fully understand your ambition. The sentence does being with 'if' :D
