Introduction

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

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.

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.

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.
