#28) This box will need to be checked


to enable the BBMD.

Note: You can not have two BBMD’s


on the same subnet. So don’t enable
this if one already exists. If you are
not sure ask!!!

Note: Under the BACnet/IP Instance 0 Configuration is


where you will find the table. Tables will be blank on new
setups. In one of the blank IP spaces you will enter the BDT
Server IP. Leave the Subnet mask at Default. In the next
blank entry you will enter the IP of the this ACM. If you
need help with this ASK!!

your other device. Don’t worry 200 is
a default #. Don’t save any thing to
the table yet.

this screen. Select the 2nd 200 and click ok. (i.e. you
will do this for every one until you finish configuring
the devices. One at a time.)

see all the ACM’s as you configured
them.
