Echelon i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server - Manual (Page 10)

Introduction
The i.LON 600 L ON W ORKS /IP Server is a Layer 3 LonTalk ® router that offers fast
throughput for process control, building automation, utility, transportation, and
telecommunications applications.
The i.LON 600 L ON W ORKS /IP Server improves on the performance of the i.LON 1000
with a new generation processor and package that provides reliable, secure Internet
access to virtually any electrical device including lights, appliances, switches,
thermostats, motors, meters, valves, HVAC, elevators, and security access products. The
i.LON 600 lets you communicate with devices to monitor, adjust, and reconfigure them
as needed.
The i.LON 600’s LonTalk router application allows IP to be used as a standard
L
ON W ORKS channel. Here, the term “router” is used to signify a L ON W ORKS router,
not an IP router. From the L ON W ORKS perspective, the router application has all of the
characteristics of a L ON W ORKS router with one side connected to a twisted pair
L ON W ORKS channel and the other side connected to a L ON W ORKS /IP channel. The router
application can be configured as any of the four standard L ON W ORKS router types:
configured, learning, configured, bridge, or repeater.
The performance of the i.LON 600 is derived from a powerful 32-bit RISC processor and
Echelon's L
ON W ORKS /IP software architecture. The result is very high packet throughput
in networks with large numbers of nodes and/or fast monitoring and display
requirements.
The i.LON 600:
• Allows the millions of Internet-ready L
ON W ORKS
® devices to be monitored,
controlled, or configured over the Internet.
• Transforms the Internet (or any IP-based LAN or WAN) into a pathway for
carrying L ON W ORKS control information locally, nationally, or around the
world.
• Includes MD5 authentication for secure access.
• Provides Layer 3 routing of L
ON W ORKS control packets.
• Supports TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, ICMP, SNTP, HTTP and FTP.
• Supports L
ON W ORKS /IP channels with up to 256 devices.
• Supports multiple units behind NAT gateways/firewalls.
• Complies with EIA-852 & ANSI/EIA 709.1.
• Comes in 8TE DIN packaging.
• Available in a 24VAC/DC or 110/240 VAC power input.
• Is CE Mark, U.L. Listed, cUL Listed, TÜV Certified.
