Issue
If a wireless system with a BCX is setup on comm2 and a few wired controllers are needed, can the wired controllers be added to comm2?
Environment
BCX
Wireless
Continuum
Windows XP
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Cause
Wireless and wired communication cannot be used on the same comm port. A comm port that has wireless selected is a different protocol than infinet or bacnet mstp. The comm port can only speak one protocol at a time.
Resolution
To use a wireless and a wired solution at the same time, 2 comm ports are required by using one of the following configurations:
9680 (1 comm port for wireless and 1 for wired)
2 different controllers (2 BCXs with 1 having comm2 enabled for wired, the other BCX with Comm2 for wireless)
