To allow a Building Optimization Broker BAS Agent to retrieve data from the BACnet, the IP information needs to be set up. This requires the basic Scanning BAS Networks steps with the addition of finding which BACnet device is the BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device).

  1. In Building Optimization Broker, select the IoT Hub application from the app drawer. 

  2. Select Manage BAS Agent on the BAS Agents card. 

  3. From the list of BAS Agents available, select the ellipsis icon to the right of the agent from which you want to scan a BAS, and select Manage Agent.

...

  1.  If you haven't created an agent yet, see Adding a BAS Agent.

  2. On the Agent Management page, under the Agent Actions card, select Configure BAS Network. 

  3. On the Network Configuration page, under the BAS System Driver dropdown, select BACNet-IP. See BACnet-IP Configuration.

  4. Under the BAS Agent BACnet Settings, enter the BAS Agent BACNet Device ID to the desired value if you wish to set up the Agent as a BACnet device, otherwise leave blank.  BAS Agent UDP Port and Subnet Mask can typically be left at their default values of 47808 and 255.255.255.0.  Only change these values if your BAS configuration requires.

  5. (Optional) Under the BACnet Network BBMD Settings, enter the BBMD IP address and BBMD UDP Port of the BACnet device that is has been assigned to be the BBMD (if applicable), otherwise, leave blank. 

  6. Select Save, if applicable.

  7. Select the BAS Agents icon from the app tray and again select Manage Agent for your agent.  This can also be done by selecting your agent name in the breadcrumb trail at the top of the Network Configuration page, select the Agent.

  8. Under Agent Actions, select View BAS Inventory.

  9. On the BAS Inventory screen, select Refresh Inventory.

...

  1.  Refreshing inventory will perform a background scan. This scan may take a few minutes depending upon the inventory size. You can check the agent connect status to see the progress of the scan. The status displays "inventory scanning" while the scan is in progress. See Working with BAS Inventory and Viewing Logs for more information.
