Programming the Site
Tracer Summit sites on shared networks are programmed just like any
other site. However, there is some special setup information that must be
configured so that communications can occur between different portions
of the network. Follow these steps:
1. Use Tracer Summit to define the site in the Site Configuration editor.
2. From the Communications tab of the Site Configuration editor select
Configure.
3. In the Site Connection Wizard select BACnet/IP.
4. If there is a BCU on the local subnet, select Use local connection. If
not, select Use BBMD.
5. If you have chosen Use BBMD, enter the IP address of the BCU that
you will connect through.
6. Shut down Tracer Summit.
7. Start the Tracer Summit IP Validation utility. Access this utility by
choosing Programs, then Tracer Summit, then Advanced, and then IP
Validation.
8. Click on the Import button on the toolbar. This will allow you to read
the desired site into the utility.
9. Double-click on BACnet Network to select it. From the combo box,
change Network Type from Non-IP to IP.
10. For each BCU that will be on the IP network, click on the BCU’s
name in the tree view to select it and enter the IP configuration infor-
mation provided by the owner’s IS staff.
11. When all of the information is entered, select Validate from the Edit
menu or click the Validate button on the toolbar. This will automati-
cally assign one BCU on each subnet as a BBMD and create new sub-
nets as required.
12. Save the setup information by selecting Save from the File menu or
clicking on the Save button.
13. Create BCU labels by selecting Create Label File from the File menu
or clicking on the Labels button. These labels contain all of the BCU
IP configuration information and can be printed from any word pro-
cessing program.
Note:
A BACnet broadcast management device (BBMD) is used to
facilitate low-level communications. On most sites, the BCU
will serve as a BBMD. However, it is possible for another BAC-
net device, such as a BACnet/IP router, to fill this function.
