] [-A] [-B]

[-H] [-I

inputfile

] [-J] [-M] [-O

] [-S] [-V] [-?]. These parameters are

described below:
–D<

interface_name

>

The –D<

interface name

> parameter specifies the name of the network

interface that you want to use. This parameter is required if your network

interface is not named LON1, but is optional if you use LON1. If you specify
an invalid network interface name, NodeUtil displays an error message. The

network interface name is not case sensitive.
To specify an i.LON 10, i.LON 100, i.LON 600, or SmartServer, use the form
x.<

Profile

>.<

i.LON_or_SmartServer name

>. For example, -

Dx.Default.SmartServerAtHQ specifies the Default xDriver profile, with the

SmartServerAtHQ smart energy manager. See the

OpenLDV Programmer’s

Guide

, and the

OpenLDV Programmer’s Guide, xDriver Supplement

for more

information.

–A

The –A parameter specifies that NodeUtil should start in application mode.

In this mode, NodeUtil does not configure the network interface, and does not

accept service pin messages. That is, NodeUtil treats the network interface
as an application device.
If you do not specify this parameter, NodeUtil assigns the network interface
to a random subnet address in the zero-length domain with a node ID of 126,

and sets the network interface to the configured state.

–B

The –B parameter specifies that NodeUtil to use only the OpenLDV network

driver, and bypass the IP-852 network interface driver (formerly called VNI),

if installed. In this mode, other host applications cannot share a single
network interface.
This option need not be specified because –B is a default parameter.

–H

The –H parameter specifies that NodeUtil should not change the

configuration of the network interface.

–I<

input_file

>

The –I parameter specifies that input to the NodeUtil Node Utility should be

from an input text file rather than the keyboard. See

Using a Script File

with NodeUtil

on page 25 for more information.

–J

The –J parameter prevents NodeUtil from querying SI data from a host-
based device, such as a ShortStack Micro Server. By using this parameter,

you can query a host-based device that does not have an attached host

processor.

–M

The –M parameter specifies that a MIP or ShortStack device is being loaded

(see

Y – Download Neuron Executable

on page 23). If you plan to load a MIP
