Using Explorer
Explorer is the built-in discovery and diagnostic tool for inspecting what’s on your building network. Use it to find devices, browse points, and verify connectivity before configuring sources.
Opening Explorer
Open Explorer from the Explorer tab in your project’s top navigation bar. Explorer requires at least one online node with a configured source to return results.
Scanning for Sources
The first step is scanning the network. Click Scan to discover sources (devices) on the network. The scan returns a list of discovered sources with their address and high-level information like vendor and model.
Discovery results depend on your source configuration and what the node can reach on the network.
Learning Points
Once you’ve found a source, click Learn to discover the points it exposes. This reads the full point list from the device — including names, types, and current values. Learning is done per source, so you can focus on the devices you care about.
Creating a Source Map From Explorer
After learning points, you can create a source map directly from the results — no need to re-enter point details manually. From there, bind the source map to one or more sources to start collecting data. See Creating Source Maps and Binding Sources for details.
