- Review BACnet device addressing, device instances, network numbering, and related configuration.
- Identify duplicate or conflicting device instances, addresses, network numbers,



or other configuration issues.
- Review BBMD configuration, BACnet routing, Foreign Device Registration, broadcast distribution, and network segmentation where applicable.
- Assess BACnet broadcast behaviour and identify conditions that may contribute to excessive network traffic, communication issues, or system instability.
- Review communication reliability between controllers, field devices, supervisory devices, servers, gateways, and other connected systems.
- Identify offline, intermittent, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly communicating devices.
- Review MS/TP trunks for potential addressing, baud rate, token passing, wiring, termination, communication, or performance issues.
- Assess Edge Server connectivity and associated BAS network architecture.
- Identify technical dependencies, risks, and network conditions that could affect system migration or integration.
- Validate existing system information against field conditions, available drawings, databases, network records, controller information, and other project documentation.
- Support QA/QC reviews of controls installations, configurations, network changes, and migration activities.

- Perform or support functional and communication checks before and after migration activities.
- Assist in identifying deficiencies and tracking corrective actions through resolution.
- Work with project teams, controls technicians, engineers, integrators, vendors, and other stakeholders to investigate and resolve technical issues.
- Support troubleshooting of BAS communication and integration issues across different equipment, controllers, manufacturers, and network architectures.
- Prepare clear technical findings, deficiency reports, assessment results, and recommendations.
- Maintain QA/QC records, technical documentation, issue logs, test results, and supporting evidence.
- Contribute to migration readiness reports and help determine whether systems or network segments are ready to proceed.
- Support project closeout by confirming identified deficiencies and technical issues have been addressed or appropriately documented.
- Follow applicable project, site, health and safety, and quality requirements.
