Configuring a Siemens Insight Gateway

To allow a Connect MiniAgent to retrieve data from the Siemens Insight Server, the Siemens Insight Gateway parses the objects within a Siemens Insight Server and creates BACnet virtual devices for all devices stored within the Siemens Insight server. This allows the Siemens devices communicating to the Siemens Insight server to appear in Connect as multiple BACnet virtual devices.
