Configuring the i.LON 100

This Web page contains the following options:

Default/Backup Time

Server

These read-only fields display the IP

address/hostname and port of the default and

backup SNTP time servers. Click Configure
to open a popup window that allows you to

create a new time server (see Creating and
Configuring Servers
for m
ore information

about servers)

Time of Last SNTP Sync

This read only field shows when the i.LON

100 last synchronized its clock with the
Default Time Server. How often the i.LON

100 synchronizes with the SNTP server varies
between 1 to 15 minutes depending on how

far off its time is from the server. As the

difference approaches 75 ms or less, the
interval will keep increasing until it reaches

the maximum of 15 minutes.

Time Zone

Choose the time zone in which the i.LON 100

resides from this drop-down list.

Date and Local Time

These fields display the time and date

currently kept by the i.LON 100's real time

clock. This Web page is not updated

automatically; refresh the Web page to see
the current time. You can modify the time

and date manually (you must click Submit
for the changes to be saved), but if you have

configured an SNTP time server, these

changes will be overwritten the next time the
i.LON 100 synchronizes with the time server.

Configuring the M-Bus Driver

The i.LON 100 Internet Server includes an M-Bus driver that is used to
communicate with Meter Bus (M-Bus) devices using the M-Bus protocol (EN

1434-3). The i.LON 100 will act as the master for the M-Bus.
1. Install the Meter Bus devices using a Meter Bus specific installation tool.

See the documentation provided with the Meter Bus devices for more

information.

2. Map the Meter Bus devices to data points on the i.LON 100 Internet Server.

This is done using the M-Bus Driver Web page. To open this Web page, hover
your mouse cursor over Network on the title bar and then select M-Bus
