Congratulations! You have a "customer hosted" version of My Building that is provided on a Leviton supplied computer. Integrating this into your system will be performed by Leviton's Field Service team however there are some options with respect to how it's tied into your system (aka Customer Network or Customer).

Option 1 - fully isolated
In this deployment the lighting control network is fully isolated from the Customer. This means that from the Customer network you can access the My Building software, both from the app and from the web UI, however, you can not access to the room controllers directly. This means you can do most activities, however, there are some you are restricted from, ex: device enrollment. To do device enrollment, you would have to connect directly to the lighting control network.

To physically connect to My Building in this scenario, you will be connecting to the secondary Ethernet port of the server running the My Building software.

Option 2 - fully integrated.
In the fully integrated solution, the lighting control network is a native part of the Customer's network. It may be on a different VLAN, however, all routing, access, and like is controlled by the Customer.

To physically connect to My Building in this scenario, the customer will be connecting into the LAN side of the lighting control network. The secondary port of the computer with the My Building software will not be used.

What is needed from the Customer's IT team?
  1. Preferred host name of the computer hosting My Building software. In absentia of any specific requirement, it will default to myBuilding.
  2. Regardless of Option 1 or Option 2, you need to know what IP address to assign to the Ethernet port. In some cases, the customer may want the MAC address of the port so they can assign it a static address in their system. The MAC address can be located in the windows GUI or using ipconfig from a command prompt. On a Linux machine, use ifconfig.
  3. My Building software requires a mail server for sending periodic emails. We support only SMTP servers authenticated via username and password.
