BVIM GATEWAY CONTROLLER INSTRUCTIONS |7

4. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
BVIM is a Central Air-conditioning multi-connected devices’ gateway which based on WEB, is an important part of Intelligent Manager system. Connect to Central
Air-conditioning devices through the B-net terminal. Allows you to connect multiple systems through the B net connector (B-net connector is XYE communication
terminals and K1K2E communication terminals); under the auto topology mode, it can connect 4 refrigerant systems at once (can insert 256 sets indoor units and 16
sets outdoor units); under the manual topology mode, it can connect16 refrigerant systems at once (can insert 256 sets indoor units and 64 sets outdoor units). The
operation methods of auto topology and manual topology please refer to Technical Manual. The appearance interface of BVIM gateway as follow displays:
4.1. BVIM Network
1) BVIM gateway can connect the local area network or Internet network through LAN terminal. BVIM network topology as follows Fig 4-1.
2) B-net terminals are listed in two rows, 1-4 are XYE terminals, 5-8 are K1K2E terminals. Computer or other similar devices can visit BVIM WEB through browser, and
then local or remote control the devices.
Fig.4-1
4.2. Models which could be inserted
1) Can freely insert all VRF models.
2) If mini VRF outdoor units are connected to BVIM, a separate power supply will be required.
3) Details refer to Technical Manual.
4.3. Base on WEB technology
BVIM is a gateway based on WEB technology, unrelated to computer or similar devices operation systems. BVIM insert into network then can browse the WEB page
through the browser of system platform, we suggest using IE (9.0 or above), Firefox (11.0 or above), Chrome (18.0 or above) or Safari (5.1 or above).
4.4. Local network connection
BVIM gateway can connect to the LAN network through switch. IP address of computer or similar devices must in the same subnet area as the IP address of BVIM
gateway.
4.4.1. IP configuration
Default IP of gateway is 192.168.100.40, subnet cover code is 255.255.255.0. IP address of computer or similar devices should manual configure the statistic IP and
within the range of 192.168.100, subnet cover code should be 255.255.255.0. If the computer only has the BVIM network, then use the way of configuring single IP;
if the computer also has the local network beside BVIM network, then use the way of configuring several IP. Methods as follow (Take windows 7 system for example).
1) Configure single IP
Open the property dialogue box to configure the IP address and subnet cover code, for example: IP: 192.168.100.44, subnet cover code: 255.255.255.0.

Fig.4-2
After configuration, click the “OK” button.
2) Configure several IP
Before configuring several IP’s it needs to configure a statistic IP address, configuring steps as follow:
■Check the local IP
Open the property dialogue box, as Fig.4-2 display, if the option “Use the following IP addresses(S)” has been selected, and the interface displayed IP address,
that means the local IP is static IP address.Otherwise it is a dynamic IP address, then it needs to configure a static IP address.
■Configure static IP address
Open the “Start” menu, and type “cmd” in the search column, and display the dialogue box as follow:
Fig.4-3
Type “ipconfig” in the above figure, then the interface will display the local dynamic IP address, and it will write this IP address into the property dialogue box, and finish
the statistic IP address configuration, details please consult the local network administrator.
After the static IP address configuration is complete, open the property dialogue box again, select the “Advanced”, and display the TCP/IP setting dialogue box as
follow:

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION |9

Fig.4-4
Click the “ADD” button under IP address column, and add a IP address with the same network segment of “192.168.100.40”, such as IP: 192.168.100.101, sub
network cover code: 255.255.255.0, and click “OK” button.
4.4.2. Local LAN access
If there is a computer or other similar device of same subnet area as BVIM in LAN, then type the link address of BVIM gateway (e.g.: http://192.168.100.40) on the
browser address bar can visit the BVIM WEB interface to operate the air-conditioning device. The local visit topology structure as follow display:
Fig.4-5
4.5. Remote network connection
Under the following situation, BVIM gateway can set in the office network; the user can operate the air-conditioning device through the computer or similar devices.
VPN:
Only VPN use is allowed to access from internet.
■Router establishing
BVIM gateway might use a same public IP address with other devices, under the situation of network cannot send terminal mapping to BVIM gateway, and then can
use VPN for visiting. As the figure displayed, VPN tunnels establish between routers, and then can visit WEB interface through VPN tunnels. VPN Server can be
established by oneself also can be rented.
Fig.4-6
Its topology structure as follow display:

6 720 862 466 (2017/05) CLIMATE 5000 VRF

■Computer establishing way
Establish VPN tunnel by computer is a little difficult for general users. Use VPN client-side software and VPN Server to establish VPN tunnel in the user’s computer,
then user can visit WEB interface through VPN tunnel. VPN client-side software and VPN Server can be achieved by commercial ways. Its topology structure as
follow display:
Fig.4-7
