IP Address Issues related to BACnet IP
It is not necessary to configure the IP address of the Server node in the Client Side Node Descriptor
in the configuration file since the BACnet Client will automatically discover the IP address based on
the Node_ID supplied. It is still necessary for the FieldServer itself to have a valid IP address,
however. Please refer to the FieldServer Utilities Manual for instructions on changing the FieldServer
IP address.

Network number
The default Network number of a FieldServer is 5. In order to ensure communication between the
BACnet Client and all Servers on a BACnet network, however, it may be necessary to assign a
unique network number to each FieldServer.
A unique network number will need to be assigned if both of the following conditions are true:
•
BACnet Client and all Servers on a BACnet network, however, it may be necessary to assign a
unique network number to each FieldServer.
A unique network number will need to be assigned if both of the following conditions are true:
•
The FieldServer has multiple BACnet Server nodes.
•
There is more than one FieldServer on a network which includes multiple BACnet nodes.
To override the FieldServer’s default network number 5, refer to Section 5.1
Appendix B.6.
Using BBMD
BACnet/IP requires that a BBMD be defined on every subnet for cross-router communications. The
FieldServer can act as a BBMD for the subnet that it resides on. Setting the Connection_Type to
BBMD will enable this functionality on the FieldServer. Note that BBMD operation is not required if
there is already another BBMD on the network.
Setting up a Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT)
The FieldServer supports two methods of updating its internal broadcast distribution table.
