Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 124)

You can select the Export Configured check box to enable the IzoT NodeBuilder tool build a
configured device application for the target. The target will have the properties set in this dialog set
when the application is downloaded to the device. This information is used to set the fields of the
system domain table and other configuration data structures (see the Neuron C Reference Guide for
more information). This check box is cleared by default.
Tip: Most device applications should be exported as unconfigured; therefore, you will typically leave
the Export Configured check box cleared. Creating a configured device application is recommended
for advanced users only.
If you select the Export Configured check box, you can set options for the following properties (see
the Neuron C Programmers Guide and Neuron C Reference Guide for more information on these
properties):
Domain
Clone Uses a clone domain, which is a domain address within a device that
specifies that the device can receive messages from other devices with
the same network address. If you are exporting your application image
as a configured image, you can configure the domain as a clone domain.
A clone domain is typically only used in self-installed networks where
multiple devices within a network may have the same address.
Limitations
Devices using a clone domain have the following limitations:
•
Devices can no longer receive messages in that domain using
subnet/node addressing. Some other addressing mode must be used
(Neuron ID, group, or broadcast). Use only group and broadcast
addressing for self-installed devices since the use of Neuron ID
addressing makes systems more difficult to maintain.
•
Devices cannot receive acknowledgements and responses. The
device will, however, continue to send acknowledgements and
responses with proper subnet/node information.
•
Devices cannot use Authentication because the reply to a challenge
