With your device being on a different network than the gateway it’s unlikely you’ll be able to reach it with a broadcast message, and I can’t say for sure without knowing what the subnet mask is, but it seems unlikely that broadcast address would even include the remote device IP Anyway.

You may need a BBMD or some gateway device to bridge networks if you can’t get them onto the same network.

Thanks Kevin
I used below tools installed in same gateway server (different vlan) and able to browse all devices.
BACnet Explorer - Explore and manage your BACnet/IP devices.

So, what information needed from my network team to able to connect.

Thanks

I don’t know. Maybe you can work with support to compare Wireshark captures.

I can only tell you that Ignition must receive an “I-Am” response to the “Who-is” messages it sends both directly to the remote IP and to the broadcast address in order to establish comms. You have to figure out why that isn’t happening.
