What is SiteBuilder?SiteBuilder creates the database that the i-Vu Pro Server application uses to communicate with controllers in thefield.SiteBuilder uses a tree interface to display the system hierarchy. The Geographic tree represents the areas,controlled zones, and mechanical equipment in a system. The Network tree represents the communicationnetwork of routers and controllers with the i-Vu Pro Server application.After you create a database in SiteBuilder, you should use the i-Vu Pro application to automatically discoverOpen, XT, or TruVu controllers and/or a system with a single CCN Gateway. However, you must use SiteBuilder tobuild a system with multiple CCN Gateways.Multiple CCN Gateways1Create a database (page 3).2Build a Network tree for a CCN system. (page 13)Building a complete system in SiteBuilder includes the following detailed steps:1Creating a database (page 3)2Building a Geographic tree (page 7)3Building a Network tree (page 12)4Assigning equipment to controllers (page 69)5Testing a system (page 70)SiteBuilder v8.0HelpCarrier Proprietary and Confidential1CARRIER CORPORATION 2020All rights reserved
What's new in SiteBuilder v8.0FeatureImprovementImproved security settingsTo increase security, the i-Vu Pro application defaults to the following settings: If your system is set to use TLS, the i-Vu Pro application automatically usesTLS 1.3. The i-Vu Pro application requires SOAP applications to run over HTTPS. The i-Vu Pro application allows only add-ons that have been approved byCarrier.NOTE If needed, you can override these defaults (page 80) in SiteBuilder;however, doing so will lessen the security of your system.Device PasswordSupported only for a router with a drv gen5 driver.Set this password on the Network tree Site level to restrict access to thecontroller setup pages when connecting through the Service Port.Select MS/TP porti-Vu XT or TruVu router only—On the Add BACnet Network dialog, whenadding an MS/TP network, you can now select the physical port that the networkwill use.IPv6 addressingBACnet/IPv6 is a new Media Type when adding a BACnet Network.

Creating a system databasePREREQUISITE For any database type except Apache Derby, you must install and set up the database applicationbefore creating your system database. An Apache Derby database is installed with your i-Vu Pro system.Follow the procedures below to create your system database.To create a new SiteBuilder databaseAfter you create a database in SiteBuilder, you should use the i-Vu Pro application to automatically discoverOpen, XT, or TruVu controllers and/or a system with a single CCN Gateway. However, you must use SiteBuilder tobuild a system with multiple CCN Gateways.1Click File New.2Enter appropriate values in each of the New Database fields. See table below.3Click Next.4Do one of the following: If you selected a MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server Database Type, enter the Database ConnectStrings, Login and Database User info. See table below. Then click Next. If you selected an Apache Derby, go to step 5.5Make language selections. See table below.6Click Next.7Click File Close.8If you have multiple CCN Gateways, use use SiteBuilder to build a Network tree for them. See To build aNetwork tree for a CCN system (page 13).9For BACnet, or single CCN Gateway systems, use the i-Vu Pro interface to populate your database. You donot need to set up the information in SiteBuilder.SiteBuilder v8.0Helpa)Launch the i-Vu Pro Server. Wait for it to finish opening the database.b)Browse to http://localhost to open the i-Vu Pro interface.c)Use the login and password you set up in SiteBuilder.d)Find your devices and networks and upload the files. See i-Vu Pro Help for details.Carrier Proprietary and Confidential3CARRIER CORPORATION 2020All rights reserved

See"Advanced password policy" in i-Vu Pro Help.Database TypeSelect the type of database your system will use.NOTE If you select Derby, SiteBuilder automatically creates the necessary files andfolder structures under the i-Vu Pro x.x folder. Do not move or rename system filesor folders.Make this the defaultsystem for iVuSelect this box to open this system when you start the i-Vu Pro application.Starting Base NetworkNumberSiteBuilder automatically assigns sequential numbers to BACnet networks anddevices as you add them to the database. Choose starting numbers that will generateunique network and device instance numbers across all systems that this system willcommunicate with.Starting Base DeviceInstance NumberServer BACnetDevice InstanceMust be unique to the BACnet network. Unique Server Device IDs are important if youare running multiple copies of the i-Vu Pro application on the same network.LanguagesSelect all languages that you want your system to support.SystemSelect the language that you want to use for: The default language for new operatorsAlarms sent to the databaseState text and object names downloaded to the fieldThe default language for the i-Vu Pro login page.NOTE You can select a different language on the login page.All other information is displayed in the operator's language.SiteBuilder v8.0HelpCarrier Proprietary and Confidential4CARRIER CORPORATION 2020All rights reserved
