hi , i am unable to establish communication between Gateway and BacNet devices . below are teh seetings for local Bacnet Gateway IP :10.4.132.11 Bacnet Device : 10.10.83.52 LocalBacnet address binding :0.0.0.0 Local Bacnet Broadcast :10.4.132.254 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/f/0fdb759006a00848edfbaac1beaacf6357b12108.png) ---

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](https://www.inneasoft.com/en/bacnet-explorer/). 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. ---

Thanks Kevien for you guidance i am able to initilise the connection with BACnet devices . ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/b/fb18f21906d33ce5c911b1cc644496b937f8181e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/0/9068766877c1cfaa183268b00edd00aff2be7a5b.png) But getting below errors in logs. any guidance of that error meaning. the errors appears after I added BBMD Address ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/3/e3f43cc7b9cc5bd4efd59cf63105bc4ebeff8980.png) ---

Hi Tamerplc. Can you advice how you got this to initialize? I have a similar set up to yours, can cannot get it to initialize. Thanks ---

Another gateway/server might be using prt 47808
