Querying, Defaulting, and Unconfiguring Router Configuration using SETRTR.EXE
The SETRTR.EXE DOS utility provided with each NCB can be used to query the router for its current
configuration, force the router to certain default states, or force the router to unconfigured mode. If the router
will be installed with the configured router algorithm, it is highly recommended that the router module is set to
unconfigured mode before being installed into the system (this step is mandatory if redundant routers are to be
configured).
Refer to Technical Note TN025 for more information on configuration of the router with standard network
management tools such as LonBuilder, LonMaker, LNS, and others.
The SETRTR program requires a network interface to be connected to the personal computer. This network
interface can be an Echelon SLTA, PCLTA, PCNSS, or any other device conforming to Echelon network
interface standards. Network interface driver software must be loaded in the personal computer and configured
with a device name (typically "LONn" where n is a number). Documentation that is provided with the network
interface device details how to install the unit and driver software. The network interface device must contain a
network transceiver compatible with the network transceiver in the NCB module to be controlled.
NOTE: If you are using the PCLTA card as a network interface and the NCB is not
performing the commands as expected, the PCNSS has probably not been configured for
network interface mode. See Technical Note TN024 for information on configuring the
PCNSS card into network interface mode.
After the network interface and its software driver are properly configured on the personal computer, connect
its’ network port to the front panel “NETWORK” connector on the NCB.
Querying an NCB’s Router for its Current Configuration
Start the SETRTR program with the following command line:
SETRTR [-ddevicename] -L <cr>
where devicename is the name assigned to the network interface on the command line of the device driver
(typically "LON1" or "LON2"). If this parameter is omitted, the default name of LON1 is used.
The -L parameter instructs SETRTR to List the current configuration of the router module.
After the signon message appears, press the “RSVC” button on the front of the connected NCB module.
SETRTR will report the current router configuration to the screen.
Returning an NCB’s Router to Factory Default Configuration
Start the SETRTR program with the following command line:
SETRTR [-ddevicename] -F <cr>
where devicename is the name assigned to the network interface on the command line of the device driver
(typically "LON1" or "LON2"). If this parameter is omitted, the default name of LON1 is used.
The -F parameter instructs SETRTR to set the RTR-10 to full Factory defaults, including router algorithm,
domain tables, and buffer settings.
After the signon message appears, press the “RSVC” button on the front of the connected NCB module.
SETRTR will send the required messages to the router and exit. Press the “RESET” button on the front of the
NCB module to complete the reconfiguration.
Setting an NCB’s Router to Unconfigured Mode
Start the SETRTR program with the following command line:
SETRTR [-ddevicename] -U <cr>
The -U parameter instructs SETRTR to set both sides of the NCB’s router to Unconfigured mode.
After the signon message appears, press the “RSVC” button on the front of the connected NCB module.
SETRTR will send the required messages to the router and exit.
