Bdt Manager
This is the default view of the Broadcast Distribution Table (BDT) under the Link container of an IP Port.
When the station operates as a BBMD (BACnet broadcast Management Device), it maintains this table listing all participating
BBMDs, including the IP address and broadcast distribution mask for each. If needed, you can manually create and edit individual
BBMDs.

Columns
| Column name | Description |
|---|---|
| Bacnet/IP Address | Displays the IP address of the BBMD. |
| Broadcast Distribution Mask | Displays the subnet mask or all ones (1s). This mask indicates if a BBMD is to send a directed broadcast (retransmitted by appropriately configured IP routers) or a unicast message to the indicated BBMD, which then retransmits the forwarded broadcast message. |
Buttons
- New creates a new device record in the database.
- Edit opens the device’s database record for updating.
- Delete sends a delete-object request to the remote BACnet device, which removes the BACnet object from the remote BACnet device.NOTE: The Delete key on the keyboard performs a local delete only. The delete keyboard action removes the selected BACnet object from the AWS device Config folder but it does not send a delete-object request to the remote device.
