Preliminary
- You have a laptop with a modern web browser i.e., Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari.
- Central Controller(s), BACnet devices, and EC8IO modules are powered up and connected to the BCP Broker's Local Area Network or MSTP port for BACnet MSTP devices.
- Central Controllers(s) have IP addresses in accordance with the network schema detail in Appendix A
- BACnet devices have been configured in accordance with the network schema detailed in Appendix B
- Hardware (Main IO) is wired to the BCP Edge534 in accordance with the detail in Appendix C - BCP-50 Only
- The BCP Broker has an active connection to the internet - The Central Controller(s) is free of error codes
Connecting Your Laptop to the BCP Broker
1. Using an ethernet cable, plug your laptop into the BCP Broker Local Area Network. The network is configured to assign your laptop an IP address automatically so make sure your network adaptor is set to DHCP. Note: This is the default configuration for network ports on Windows operating systems.
2. Open your favorite internet browser, in the URL bar go to http://bcp50:8080 for a BCP 50 panel or http://bcp200:8080 for a BCP 200 panel.

show `Connected'. Do not proceed until the Central Controller status is `Connected'. 3. Click the `Build VRF' button on each Central Controller that is connected to the BCP
broker. When the search is complete the status will show `Success! Indoor Units Added' 4

and the checkmark color will change to green. Note: If the status doesn't change, try refreshing your browser. If after refreshing your browser your status still doesn't change, verify your central controller is error free. The BCP broker will not add an indoor unit if it's in error. If your central controller is error free contact CASupport@hvac.mea.com for support. 4. Click the gear icon next to the green checkmark to select the Series and Model of each Outdoor Unit. 5. You should be presented with a list of all the Outdoor Units connected to the Central Controller. Note: If no units are shown click the refresh button in the header. 6. Click the `Select Model' button for each Outdoor Unit the set the Series and Model number for the Outdoor Unit. 7. For Heat Pump Series Outdoor Units, the option to use Auto Changeover is available. To add the option, select the check mark next to the `Select Model' button. When successfully added the checkmark turns green. Note: This only enables the Auto Changeover option. The Auto Changeover operation is turned on from the Cloud interface. 8. When you've completed setting the Series and Model for each Outdoor Unit, click `Done' 9. Repeat steps 4-8 for the remaining connected Central Controllers
