• Pulse Metering – The i.LON 100 Internet Server contains 2 built-in pulse
metering inputs. You can configure the i.LON 100 server to count pulses or
to measure the pulse frequency. See the i.LON 100 User’s Guide:

information.
• Analog Function Processing – The i.LON 100 Internet Server contains
Analog Function Functional Bocks. This functional blocks can be used to
perform operations on multiple analog inputs. See the i.LON 100 User’s
Guide: Configuring the i.LON 100 Applications Using the i.LON 100

Web Pages to Configure Applications and to Monitor and Control Data Points
for more information.
• Web Hosting – The i.LON 100 Internet Server can host Web pages that allow
data points on the network to be viewed and modified, as well as providing
Web access to the data logging, alarming, and scheduling applications
described above. See the i.LON 100 User’s Guide: Using the i.LON 100 Web
Pages to Configure Applications and to Monitor and Control Data Points for
more information.
• Remote Network Interface – The i.LON 100 Internet Server can function as a
Remote Network Interface (RNI), connecting an LNS Server on an IP
network to a L ON W ORKS network. This capability is described in Chapter 7.
• Dial-in/Dial-out Support – The i.LON 100 Internet Server can optionally
contain a built-in modem. On these models you can configure the i.LON 100
server to dial-out and receive calls using the Internet Point-to-Point (PPP)
communications protocol.
Using the i.LON 100 Internet Server
To take advantage of the capabilities of the i.LON 100 server described in the
previous section, you will perform the following tasks:
1. Connect the i.LON 100 Hardware – This includes connecting the i.LON 100
server to a power source, L ON W ORKS network, and either an Ethernet
network or a phone line (or both). Connecting the i.LON 100 server to a
power source involves handling high-voltage wiring and must be performed
by a qualified service person.
2. Configure the i.LON 100 server’s IP information – This includes configuring
the IP address, host name, etc. This is accomplished using the i.LON 100
server Web pages as described in Chapter 3 or using the console application
described in Appendix A.
3. Add the i.LON 100 server to a L ON W ORKS Network – This is accomplished in
an identical manner to adding any other device to a L
ON
W
ORKS
network.
Using the LonMaker tool, drag an i.LON 100 shape from the i.LON 100
stencil to the LonMaker drawing, and then provide the Neuron ID of the
i.LON 100 server using either the service pin or manual entry. This
procedure is described in Chapter 3.
4. Create Data Points – The i.LON 100 server applications read and write
network variable values using data points. All network variables on the
