Verifying General System Setup

Use the General System Setup dialog box to define settings that apply to a
particular operator workstation and how it is used within the BACtalk system.
Depending on the installation type, verifying system setup may include the
following. See the quick steps (beginning on page 9) for your installation type
for a list of the tasks that apply.

• Set the device instance for the operator workstation. This determines
how this operator workstation is identified to other devices on the
BACnet network.
• Verify the Ethernet setup. This determines how this operator
workstation communicates with other devices on the BACnet network.
• Identify the operator workstation as a server or client. See “Setting up a
client/server relationship” on page 25 for detailed instructions.

X To set the device instance for the operator workstation

1. Start Envision for BACtalk and log in.

2. On the Tools menu, click General System Setup.

3. On the Identification tab, type a device instance for this operator

workstation.

4. Type a name and a description for the operator workstation.

5. Click OK, or continue with the next procedure.
