1. On the computer attached to the modem, dial the ISP. In HyperTerminal,
type “ATDT 555-1234” (replace 555-1234 with the phone number supplied by
your ISP for POP connections. Be sure to include an prefixes needed to get
an outside line. A comma may be used to force a short pause (e.g. “ATDT
9,555-1234”).
You should hear a dial tone, then dialing, and a high-pitched whistling when
the ISP’s modem picks up. You may or may not see anything on your
HyperTerminal display (this varies by ISP). If you do not hear the ISP’s
modem pick up, contact your ISP’s customer support.
2. If step 1 is successful, connect to your ISP using Windows dial-up
networking. Be sure to include your account ID and password in the
Windows Dial-up Networking Dialer.
Once a connection is established, you should be able to browse web pages
using Internet Explorer. If you are unable to establish a connection, verify
that you correctly entered your account ID and password. If these are
correct, contact your ISP’s customer support.
3. On the computer attached to the modem, open a command prompt, type “ping
<LNS Server IP address>”, and press <Enter>. If your computer is in
communication with the LNS Server computer, you will see responses from
the i.LON 10.
If the ping fails the IP Address provided by the ISP may not be routable or
the ISP may have disabled your ability to ping IP address on the Internet.
Contact your ISP for more information.
4. If the ping is successful, start an LNS client and attempt to connect to the
LNS Server as a Remote Lightweight client (see the LonMaker ® User’s Guide
and the LNS for Windows Programmer’s Guide for more information). If you
cannot connect, your ISP may be blocking on ports used by the LNS Server.
Contact your ISP to resolve this problem before using the i.LON 10 for dial-
up.
Test the i.LON 10 with the Modem
This section assumes you have confirmed communication with the modem,
confirmed there is a dial tone, and confirmed that you can log into your ISP
account. To test the i.LON 10 with the modem, follow these steps:
1. Attach the modem to the i.LON 10 using the same straight-through cable
that you used to connect the modem to the PC in the previous sections.
2. Access the i.LON 10 via HTTP and configure it for dial-out, as described in
Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter for Dial-out, earlier in this
chapter. Use the same serial port baud rate specified in Test the Modem,
earlier in this chapter. Use the same username and password specified in
Test the ISP Phone Number and Account, earlier in this chapter.
3. Attach the i.LON 10 to a L ON W ORKS network. The L ON W ORKS network must
have a network variable that is bound to the host. See Binding Network
Variables to the Host in the LonMaker User’s Guide for more information.
4. On the General Setup web page, set the appropriate checkbox under Initiate
Session when an NV of the Following Types Destined for the LNS
Host is Received to cause a session to be started when the network variable
that is bound to the host is updated.
5. Generate a network variable event on the network variable that is bound to
