Procedural Overview

Cloud Connector is required to create a connection between Desigo Optic (DO) and Building X (BX). To finalize this connection, you must register your server on the Building X side and install the Desigo Optic server on Building X with the appropriate distribution assigned. Finally, you will initialize synchronization and proceed to the Desigo Optic Tools User Guide to set up bidirectional data synchronization with tagged points.

NOTICE! In rare cases when a user deregisters their server from BX and then reregisters BX with the same server, the user will need to reinstall DO on their server before reregistering it with BX. We recommend taking a snapshot before uninstalling and then reinstalling DO.
