Abstract: Implementations of bridges are described and claimed herein, e.g., for use in building automation systems. An exemplary implementation of a bridge for a building automation system comprises a system controller. A first network controller is operatively associated with the system controller to connect the bridge to a local area network. A second network controller is operatively associated with the system controller to connect the bridge to a subnetwork. Computer-readable program code is provided in computer-readable storage operatively associated with the system controller. The computer-readable program code includes: program code for receiving configuration information via the local area network; and program code for configuring an automation device connected to the subnetwork based on the configuration information.
