INSTALLING THE BWBC1 – QUICK START

WEB VERSION

The BWBC1 (like the BWBC4) is an IP based controller and does need to be connected to a Local Area Network
(LAN). The BWBC1 is shipped from the factory in DHCP mode and should be able to obtain an IP address as long
as there is a DHCP server available on the network.

NOTE: BWBC1 programming and functionality require Project Editor Software version 1.9.63 or Higher.

1) Add the BWBC1 controller to a new or existing project.
a. Connect the BWBC1 to your LAN via the Ethernet Port and power from the included power adapter.

i. During start-up the Red Status LED on the front of the unit will blink in a “Heartbeat” pattern until all

processes are loaded and running. (This takes about 45 seconds.)

b. Start Project Editor Software and open an existing project or create a new one. Right-click on the BWBC1’s

node of the Project and select “Add Controller from Network”. In the resulting Controller Discovery Window,
select the IP address for the BWBC1 and select “Add to Project”.

2) Modify properties for the newly added BWBC1 via right-click on the BC1:BWCBC1 node in the project.
a. Network Settings

i. Give the BWBC1 a meaningful name for the project. Perhaps the client’s name or the location.
ii. Uncheck the “Use DHCP” checkbox
iii. Assign a valid static IP address to the BWBC1
iv. Click “Apply Settings to BWBC1”

b. Time

i. Choose the Appropriate Time Zone for the install from the drop down menu.
ii. Make sure the current Time and Date from your PC are shown in the two lines below the drop down

and click the “Set” button to set the BWBC1 time and date.

INSTALLING THE BWBC1 – QUICK START – CONTINUED

3) Location Settings – The BWBC1 has a built-in schedule that will also allow events to be triggered based on a

specific time, sunrise or sunset. In order for the sunrise and sunset calculations to work properly, it is necessary
to set the Location in the Project node.

a. Right-Click on the Project Node and select “Location”
b. Type the name of your city or town and click search to find your Lat/Long and click “OK”.

4) Email Settings – The BWBC1 can also send email notifications to recipients based on events or macros.
a. Right-Click on the Project Node and select “Email Settings”
b. Fill out the fields using the proper email server settings. For a list of common SMTP email server settings go

to http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html

c. Add recipients to the project and Send a test to yourself to verify email server settings.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You now have a BWBC1 configured on the network and ready to program. For more details on programming for
devices, macros and GUI interfaces, please view our training video series available in the Support Center.
