Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool - Manual (Page 75)

Remote Full Client
A remote full client is an IzoT Commissioning Tool computer that communicates with the OpenLNS
Server (running on a separate computer) over a L
ON W ORKS channel. In this configuration, the IzoT
Commissioning Tool computer uses a network interface to communicate with the network (for
example, a U10/U20 USB network interface or PCC-10, PCLTA-20, or PCLTA-21 network interface
card). As a remote full client, network management tasks performed by IzoT Commissioning Tool are
routed through the OpenLNS Server, but monitoring and controlling tasks are sent directly to the
network.

Server
One or more IzoT Commissioning Tool computers and the OpenLNS Server may also be connected to
the network.
The following example demonstrates a scenario in which the IzoT Commissioning Tool computers
communicate with the OpenLNS Server and the network over an IP-852 channel. The OpenLNS
computers directly route management tasks to the network via an IP-852 router.
The IP-852 Configuration Server creates virtual channels that direct packet traffic and enable the
IP-852 devices (IzoT Commissioning Tool computers, the OpenLNS Server, the IP-852 router, and
other IP-852 devices) to communicate with each other over the TCP/IP network. To create the IP-852
channel, you must use the IP-852 Configuration Server to add and configure all the IP-852 devices to
the network. For more information on using the IP-852 Configuration Server to create IP-852
channels, see Using an IP-852 Network Interface earlier in this chapter.
