A service tool (110, 410) accesses a building automation system (100, 500) to configure and confirm design of an installation, monitor and optimize functionality, commission communication protocols, diagnose, analyze and troubleshoot problems, analyze communications between components, adjust and/or reconfigure parameters, monitor, analyze and debug a building automation system (100), its components (107, 106, 108, 109), and the like. The service tool (110, 410) provides a man-machine interface to the building automation system (100) and its components (107, 106, 108, 109) by communicating directly and/or indirectly with the system (100) and its components. The interface displays information about the system (100), its components. The wireless service tool (110, 410) may operate in multiple modes and/or provide multiple functionality.
