This section distinguishes between Operator Interfaces and Field Interfaces to the BAS. The Operator Interface refers to the main 'front-end' method for accessing and operating the BAS. The Field Interfaces typically access the BAS from the controller-level and have limited functionality, and may include HID, LDP, and ZBI as described below. This section describes the devices only; OI functionality is generally covered in the Software, while Field Interface functionality is detailed further in the individual Controllers
Operator Interfaces (OI)
Dedicated Operator Workstation (OWS)
Dedicated PC(s) with proprietary workstation software 		Excel Building Supervisor (XBS) personal computer with Excel Care and Live Care software
"Thin" Client Browser Web access via browser on IT network.
"Thick" Client Browser Information not provided
Product Application(s): N.A.

Additional Information
Includes a listing of available Gateways, Routers and other devices that provide additional communications flexibility into and out of the BAS. Repeaters, bridges, standard modems and the like are typically not included here. Note: If in use by the BAS, the Internet/building IT Network is extremely open and non-proprietary. If a vendor uses the IT Network, CI devices such as IP routers and hubs can be purchased from third parties.
Model (Device) Application
Model (Device) iLon 1000/Q7751C
Application Echelon LonTalk®/IP router (and can be a Web server). Functions as a communications interface between the OWS and devices on the LON. LonTalk/IP permits full functionality of all OWS functions -- the same as though the OWS were directly connected to the LON.
