Every subnet with a router must have a BBMD configured in order for broadcasts from routers on that subnet to
reach the rest of the routers on the network.
NOTES
•
The i-Vu® Standard or Plus application - If the i-Vu® web server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the
routers, the internal router must be assigned a routable IP address and configured as a BBMD.
•
The i-Vu® Pro application - If the i-Vu® Pro server is on a separate subnet than the rest of the routers, you
must register it as a foreign device to a router acting as a BBMD device.
Use the
BBMD Configuration Tool
to:
•
Write/read the
Broadcast Distribution Table
(BDT) of each BBMD device
•
Allow controllers on one subnet to communicate with controllers on other subnets
•
Enable the i-Vu® application to see, upload, or configure controllers on different subnets
To set up BBMDs using the BBMD Configuration Tool
1
Assign an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for each TV-MPCXP1628-NR on the IP network. See
Addressing the TV-MPCXP1628-NR
(page 16).
2
Acquire the
BBMD Configuration Tool
from the Tech Tools USB drive or from either of the
Carrier Control
Systems Support Sites
https://accounts.ivusystems.com/
. This is a stand-
alone executable file and no installation is necessary.
3
Make a list of the IP addresses for each router that will function as a BBMD in your system.
In the above illustration, the Carrier router, address 172.18.1.2, must be configured as a BBMD for the
172.18 subnet, while the Carrier router, address 172.16.1.15, must be configured as a BBMD for the
172.16 subnet.
CAUTIONS
○
Define only one BBMD per subnet. Multiple BBMDs on an IP subnet disrupt network communications.
○
Unless explicitly modified, the UDP Port for BACnet/IP is 0xBAC0 (47808). Do not change this parameter
unless you made a change in the router.
4
In a text editor such as Notepad, create a list of the routers that will be BBMDs. List each IP address on a
separate line. (Maximum of 50 IP addresses per file)
5
Save the file to your folder of choice with a .bdt extension instead of .txt.
NOTE
".bdt" is a
Broadcast Distribution Table
file.
6
Open the
BBMD Configuration Tool
.
7
In the
IP Address
or
Host Name
field, type the IP address of the router that functions as the BBMD (BACnet
Broadcast Management Device) for its subnet.
8
To check if the router has an existing BBMD table, click the
Broadcast Distribution Table Read
button.
