1 Building Operator Engineering Guide

1.1 Overview

This document is intended for Administrators and Engineers in the Building

Operator application.

The instructions in this document will cover how to connect building automation

controls, that reside within a corporate IT network on site, to Building Operator

application, using the Connect device gateway.

1.1.1 Before You Start

Before you begin the commissioning process, clarify the corporate IT network

configuration on site. For example:

● How is the building automation network zone built on the IT network? Is it a

physical isolated Building Automation network zone, or part of the corporate

network zone (Building Automation and Internet on the same network)?

● What are the guidelines for the IP address scheme of building automation

network devices (fixed IP address or DHCP)?

● How will the Connect device access the Internet from the corporate IT network

on site (e.g. proxy server)?

After clarifying the IT network configuration of the site, see the Connect Device

Quick Install guide in the Help tab of Building Operator.

Connect Device (e.g. Connect X300)

The Connect family of devices are physical devices that serve as the connecting

point between the cloud and controlled or monitored devices. This can include

controllers, sensors, and actuators in the building.

These devices integrate BACnet/IP or Modbus/TCP devices and systems as well

as FS20 fire panels.

For more information on the Connect device hardware, please see the

Connect

X300 Data Sheet

(A6V11473182) in the Building Operator Help section.

For information on network set-up and accessories, please see the

CXG3.X300

Quick Install Guide

(A6V110508811).

User Interface

The Connect device has a web user interface that is intended for commissioning

and maintenance of the device. The web interface has three tabs.

Operation

In the Operation tab, you can check the cloud connectivity and application status.

You can also edit and rename the gateway device or edit the device location.
