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 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
