cimetrics B3060 BACnet Broadcast Management Device
Starting the B3060 for the first time
Make sure that you properly configure your BBMD device before connecting it
to a BACnet network!
Before you can configure the BBMD, you need to establish a connection between
a PC and the BBMD. Your BBMD has two Ethernet ports—one of them is a dedicated
configura-tion port. Connect your BBMD’s configuration port and your PC’s
Ethernet port to a private Ethernet network (such as an isolated Ethernet
switch), or directly connect the BBMD’s configuration port and your PC’s
Ethernet port; standard Ethernet cables should be used.
The BBMD’s network communication parameters for its configuration port are
preset and cannot be changed. That port has a fixed IP address: 169.254.14.14
The personal computer should not use DHCP, but rather it should use the
following IP address: 169.254.14.10. The PC’s Subnet Mask must be set to
255.255.0.0.
How to set the IP address on your Windows PC
To set your IP address, follow these steps:
- Open the PC’s Control Panel app.
- Navigate to Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center – Change Adapter Settings
- Right click on the Ethernet adapter you are using to com-municate – Properties — Internet Protocol Version 4 –Properties – Use IP address — 169.254.14.10 and Sub-net Mask — 255.255.0.0. Click the “OK” button.
- Now your PC is ready to communicate with the B3060’s configuration port.
Login to the B3060
Plug your PC and the B3060 into the same Ethernet hub or switch. On the PC, open a web browser and type the IP ad-dress of the B3060: http://169.254.14.14
The B3060 must have completed the start-up phase; otherwise the B3060’s web
pages will not be visible.
You will be prompted to login. The username is admin and the password is
printed on a sticker affixed to the bottom of the B3060.
You can never change your assigned admin password so keep it in a secure
location and never lose it!
Once you login you will be able to configure the BBMD. See the reverse side
for a list of the B3060’s most important configuration parameters.
