Issue
On a large system with more than 32 subnets, is their a workaround for the 32 BBMD limit on a Continuum system?
Product Line
Andover ContinuumEnvironment
- BBMD
- Foreign Device Registration.
- Subnets
Cause
It is not possible to configure more than 32 BBMDs within a BCX40xx.
Resolution
While foreign device registration can be used as a workaround when controllers must be installed on a subnet but no additional BBMDs can be configured, foreign devices present their own limitations.
Let's say we have two subnets. Subnet A has a BCX4040 that is configured as a BBMD. On subnet B there are two BCX4040 controllers. One controller on subnet B is registered as a Foreign device with the BBMD on subnet A
Foreign Device Table registration supports up to 1024 devices on the workstation (v1.94 and later).
