Abstract

Implementations of bridges (140a, 140b, 140c, 145a, 145b, 145c) are described and claimed herein, e.g., for use in building automation systems. An exemplary implementation of a bridge (140a, 140b, 140c, 145a, 145b, 145c) for a building automation system comprises a system controller. A first network controller is operatively associated with the system controller to connect the bridge to a local area network. A second network controller is operatively associated with the system controller to connect the bridge (140a, 140b, 140c, 145a, 145b, 145c) to connect the bridge to a subnetwork (130a, 13b, 130c). Computer-readable program code is provided in computer-readable storage operatively associated with the system controller. The computer-readable program code includes: program code for receiving configuration information via the local area network; and program code for configuring an automation device connected to the subnetwork (130a, 130b, 13c) based on the configuration information.
