Enable foreign
device registration
Select the check box to register the NMC with a BACnet broadcast
management device (BBMD).
NOTE: You need to register your NMC as a foreign device with a BBMD if there
is no BBMD currently on the subnet of the NMC, or if the NMC uses a different
local port to the BBMD.
In the above example:
• BBMD A manages the broadcast messages to NMCs V and W.
• BBMD B manages the broadcast messages to NMCs X and Y.
• Only NMC Z needs to register with a BBMD A or B as a foreign device, as
there is no BBMD present on its subnet.
• Once registered, NMC Z can receive broadcast messages from the BBMD
with which it is registered, and can send messages to the BBMD, which
broadcasts them to all devices on its subnet, and to the other BBMDs on the
network via the IP router.
