... following protocols and standards will be considered in this report: Overall Network Architecture Figure 1 below shows an example of a hierarchical network framework that can be used for lighting control applications. For the purposes of this analysis the network is decomposed into three main segments titled: ...

Context 2

... particular note in the context of IBECS is the BACnet IP standard, which allows BACnet to operate over IP networks. BACnet IP allows BACnet applications running on the LAN to more easily integrate with the devices on the DAN via gateways and routers as shown in Figure 1. ...

Context 3

... DAN segment of Figure 1 shows examples of some of the most important types of network technologies for lighting control. These are discussed in more detail in the sections below. ...

Context 4

... shown in Figure 1, each of the devices in the DAN typically interfaces to the LAN using some sort of gateway or router. Routers typically move native DAN packets over LANs without doing any significant protocol translation or data mapping. ...
