Two licensing options are available for the OAS: OAS Minimum and OAS Standard. The OAS Minimum supports up to 200 field devices, but no network engines.

The OAS Standard supports up to two network engines and 200 field devices. Both OAS versions may serve as Site Directors with support of 20,000 objects using BACnet®/IP and Remote Field Bus integrations. For more information about the OAS versions, see Table 1.

The OAS supports integration with the following devices and systems: ZFR Pro wireless system, C•CURE 9000® Access Control®, Modbus®, M-Bus®, KNX®, and OPC Unified Architecture (UA)®. For more information, refer to the Open Application Server (OAS) Installation Guide (LIT-12013222).

OAS provides database software options to archive licensed historical data using the Microsoft® SQL Server software database, and enables secure communication to a range of network engines, including the NAE, NCE, SNE, and SNC series engines.

The OAS is available as a software-only solution, which you can install on a virtual machine, or as a combined hardware and software turnkey solution. The Turnkey comes with Microsoft® Windows® operating system, Intel based processor; expanded memory to 32 GB, required third-party software components, and the latest Metasys release installed. Turnkey systems ship ready to connect to your building’s network. OAS supports Metasys UI and the Site Management Portal (SMP). SMP is available only for existing sites through a software license.
