This chapter provides an overview of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and how it fits into the i.LON family of products.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide |
1-1 |
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter connects LONWORKS networks to remote LNS Servers via a TCP/IP Ethernet connection. Multiple remote networks can be connected to a single LNS Server. On the PC containing the LNS Server, a piece of software called the xDriver manages communications between multiple LONWORKS networks using i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapters and LNS Servers, allowing for asynchronous and simultaneous updates (see the LNS Programmer’s Guide, xDriver Extension for more information).
For example, imagine LONWORKS networks installed at 1000 separate hospital buildings in different locations. Each network contains a LONWORKS device that monitors the hospital’s emergency power generator for various alarm conditions. Alarms initiate xDriver connections to an LNS service center where the alarm is processed and dispatched.
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is available in two models, free topology and power-line. The free topology model contains a TP/XF-FT-10 transceiver and can be connected to a TP/XF-FT-10 LONWORKS channel. The power-line model contains a PL-22 transceiver and can be connected to a PL-20 power-line LONWORKS channel.

This chapter discusses how to configure the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s General Setup web page to facilitate communications between the LONWORKS network and the LNS Server using TCP/IP.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide |
3-1 |
You can access the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s General setup page by pointing your browser to 192.168.1.222 and clicking the Setup link. If you are unable to access the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s web pages, ensure that:
•The PC is on the same subnet as the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter. By default, the IP address of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is 192.168.1.222. The IP address is reset to this value whenever a security access reset (see
Performing a Security Access Reset in Chapter 5) is performed. See the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Quick Start Guide for a step-by step description of how to configure the i.LON 10.
•If Internet Explorer is configured to use a proxy server, set the Bypass Proxy Server for Local Addresses option. You can access proxy server options in Internet Explorer 6.0 by opening the Tools menu, then clicking Options, then selecting the Connections tab of the Options dialog, and then clicking LAN Settings on the Connections tab.
This General setup page appears as shown in the following figure:
If you are unable to access this page, verify that if your PC is on the same subnet as the i.LON 10. To access this page in non-secure mode, the HTTP Access option on the security page must be selected. See i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Security Web Page in Chapter 5 for more information).

Using i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a 10BaseT Connection |
The setup page has the following fields:
Hostname |
The TCP/IP host name of the i.LON 10 |
|
Ethernet Adapter. This name will be |
|
converted to all lower case by the firmware. |
|
When the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter |
|
establishes a connection with an LNS server it |
|
provides its fully qualified host/domain name |
|
so the LNS server knows which LONWORKS |
|
database to open. By default, the i.LON 10 |
|
Ethernet Adapter’s host name is ilon10. The |
|
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter must be reset for |
|
change in this value to take effect. The URL |
|
of the i.LON 10 is Hostname.DNS Suffix |
|
(i.e. if Hostname is set to ilon10 and DNS |
|
Suffix is set to echelon.com, the URL will |
|
be ilon10.echelon.com. Valid characters |
|
are numbers, letters, and the hyphen (‘-‘) |
|
character. This field has a maximum of 63 |
|
characters. By default the Hostname is |
|
iLON10. |
DNS Suffix |
The IP domain name in which the i.LON 10 |
|

0.0.0.0.
The primary and secondary DNS Servers used to resolve LNS Server names if Obtain IP address from DHCP Server is not set. If DNS servers are specified both here and by the DHCP server, the DNS server specified by DHCP will be used.
Up to three LNS Server names or IP addresses in the form <LNS Server IP
Address>:<port> or <LNS Server Name>:<port> (for example, you can specify
123.2.34.1:1628 or mylns.echelon.com:1628). The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter will attempt to send packets to the first server on the list. If that server does not respond, it will try the second server, then the third. LNS Servers can be specified by DNS name. If DNS names are used, a DNS server must be listed in
Primary/Secondary DNS Server or be available through the local network’s DHCP server. Each Server name can be up to 63 characters long.
The TCP port on which the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter receives packets (LONWORKS messages). Defaults to 1628. It is not recommended that the port number be set below 1025, as ports 0 through 1024 are normally reserved.
Note that to receive incoming LNS connections, the Listen for Incoming LNS Connections option on the Security Web page must be checked (this option is cleared by default).
Specify under what conditions the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter will initiate an uplink connection to the LNS host. By default, all of these checkboxes are cleared (i.e. an update will never initiate a connection to the host). Use these options to limit the sorts of network variable updates or explicit messages that will initiate a session.
This option is not supported for LNS 3, Service Pack 8, Update 1, and earlier.
Set this option to notify the xDriver when the IP address of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter changes. This may resolve connectivity problems if a non-static IP address is used.
