One remote management device allowing a remote user to connect a new or legacy system to a BMS network includes a processor and memory, the memory having executable instructions that execute to receive identification information that allow a user on a user device to access a remote management application, send instructions to the gateway device to initiate a discovery protocol at the gateway device to identify any network devices connected to the gateway device, receive data related to each identified network device from the gateway device and create a device profile for each identified network device, initiate a discovery of origination points protocol to discover all origination points for data that are relevant to a particular device of the identified network devices, and update the device profile for that particular device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A remote management device allowing a remote user to connect a new or legacy system to a BMS network, comprising: a processor and memory, the memory having executable instructions that execute to: provide a user using a user device access to a remote management application; receive a selection of a gateway device that needs to be connected to the BMS network; initiate a connection to the gateway device; send instructions to the gateway device to initiate a discovery protocol at the gateway device to identify any network devices connected to the gateway device; receive data related to each identified network device from the gateway device and create a device profile for each identified network device; display a list of the identified network devices on a display component; initiate a discovery of origination points protocol that sends instructions to the gateway device to discover all origination points for data that are relevant to a particular device of the identified network devices; and update the device profile for that particular device in memory. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, initiating a connection to the gateway device includes adding a local network reference to a local network database. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The device of claim 2, wherein local network reference is a reference to a BACnetNetwork, SBCNEtwork, or LON Network. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The device of claim 3, wherein local network database is a local Niagara database. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein a first particular device in the identified network devices has a first operating protocol and wherein a second particular device in the identified network devices has a second operating protocol and wherein the remote management device receives information about the operating protocols and includes configuration settings that can be used with devices of each of several operating protocols. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The device of claim 5, wherein the remote management device selects configuration settings to be sent to the gateway device based on the operating protocol of the particular device to which the configuration settings are to be installed. ### Claim 7 A remote management device allowing a remote user to connect a new or legacy system to a BMS network, comprising: a processor and memory, the memory having executable instructions that execute to: provide a user using a user device access to a remote management application; receive a selection of a gateway device that needs to be connected to the BMS network; initiate a connection to the gateway device; send instructions to the gateway device to initiate a discovery protocol at the gateway device to identify any network devices connected to the gateway device;
