To set up BACnet Broadcast Management Devices (BBMDs)
If your system has multiple routers that reside on different IP subnets, you must set up one router on each IP
subnet as a BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device (BBMD).
Every subnet with a router must have a BBMD configured in order for broadcasts from controllers 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 an 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.
Use the BBMD Configuration Tool to:
• Define the Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT) in each BBMD
• Enable an i-Vu® Control System to find routers that are on different subnets
• 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
