2.1.2 BACnet/IP Client Access to Database
The Client functionality automatically places data from a BACnet/IP device into
the gateway's internal database using read functions, and writes data from the
gateway's internal database to the remote unit. The Client driver generates the
message to the remote device using the gateway's user-constructed command
list. The command list defined in the user configuration determines what data is
to be transferred between the gateway and the remote units.
The following diagram describes the flow of data between the Client, the internal
database and the remote servers.
