52 ECLYPSE Connected Thermostat (ECY-STAT)
Foreign Device Settings
Some BACnet/IP devices also support a feature called Foreign Device Registration (FDR). FDR allows
a BACnet/IP device to send broadcast messages to a device with BBMD enabled. The BBMD-enabled
device will then forward these broadcast messages to all other BBMDs and onto all other FDR de-
vices. If a subnet has only FDR supported devices, then it does not need a local BBMD. These de-
vices can register directly with a BBMD on another subnetwork.
Item Description
IP IP address of a controller (foreign device) located on another subnetwork.
Port Delay after which the foreign device is forgotten.
Time to Live
Time-to-live value that serves as a timestamp attached to the data. Once the timespan has elapsed,
data is discarded.

User Management
User management is the control of who can access the controller by enforcing the authentication cre-
dentials users need to access the controller. User management can either be managed in
Server
or
Client
mode. You can also set the Welcome page a user will land on when they connect to the con-
troller.
An ECY-STAT can manage users through several mechanisms. It can either be in
Server
mode that
provides a user database to other ECLYPSE controllers and itself, or in Client mode for access to a
remote user database.
You can provide appropriate privileges to users depending on the clearance level desired for each
role. You can also modify user properties and customize the user experience by assigning a Welcome
page to each user.
Server/Client User Configuration
When you configure an ECY-STAT in server mode, you can add new users, select their roles, and
choose their custom Welcome page. This page will be the default page displayed after a user logs in
to an ECLYPSE controller.
If you configure an ECLYPSE controller in client mode, you can only choose the Welcome page dis-
played to a user. Any other information will be retrieved from the remote server. The Welcome page
chosen in client mode has priority over the one configured in the server.
Adding a User in Server Mode
Adding a user creates a user profile that allows a person to login to the controller with a username /
password combination and to have access to certain controller software interfaces. These users will
have login access to the controller. It is important to create new user accounts with strong passwords
to protect the controller from unauthorized access. See also Password Policy and/or Securing an ECY-
STAT
