What does "Unable to bind to port" mean?

Answer

This is a message that one sees on the lower left hand corner of the BACnet Explorer in certain situations.

The situations is

- you have the Explorer configured to use BACnet/IP
- you have the BACnet explorer configured to act as a Foreign Device
- You have entered the IP address of a remote BBMD

Once you start the Explorer and try to establish communication with the BBMD and cannot do so, you will see this message.

The reasons why the communications are not established could be due to

- incorrect IP address of the BBMD
- the BBMD may not be set up to accept Foreign Device connections
- you may not have a phyical connection to the BBMD etc

Please verify the above and retry.
