Configuring the global data server - User Guide - PXC4.E16.A - PXC7.E400.A

There can only be one global data server per ALN.

To configure a controller as the global data server, you must be logged into that device’s web interface. The global data icon  indicates that a device object that has been designated as the global data server. Object lists that display more than one global data icon  indicate a Common global configuration error.

Use the following procedure to configure a device as a global data server:

1. Go to Object view > Device > Infrastructure.

2. The device object will appear at the top of the list. Click  to open the device properties.

3. Scroll down to locate the Global data server property.

• Open the drop-down menu and select Yes.

4. Click  to save.

5. Note the ALN Name property. You will need it to configure global data client devices. The ALN Name property is case-sensitive.

• The device has been configured as a global data server.
  NOTE: When the system is configured for BACnet/SC, common global follows the rules of building and floor hubs. ALNs must be engineered accordingly.
