Log device information when the Connector receives errors from a device

Distribute-Broadcast-To-Network broadcast for Discovery Tool and Connector

When running the discovery tool from a subnet with no BBMD to query BACnet devices on a separate subnet, it seems like the auto discovery tool is seen as a ‘foreign device’, so the devices do not respond correctly. When analyzing a Wireshark trac...

RDBMS to Eventframe Batch Interface
