BACnet and the Internet
February 2013 - Although BACnet/IP is based upon the Internet Protocol (IP), it does not mean that BACnet devices are easily accessible from the Internet. Bennet Levine, R&D manager at Contemporary Controls, authored a paper entitled "BACnet and the Internet" that addresses the issues involved in accessing BACnet systems remotely, while proposing three possible solutions: direct connection, resident Virtual Private Network (VPN) and cloud-based VPN.
"BACnet and the Internet" was published by BACnet International in their December 2012 Foundations issue.
The paper can only be viewed by members of BACnet International, but individual membership is complimentary. If you are not yet a member, you can join BACnet International by clicking here.
