Echelon i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server - Manual (Page 36)

Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 L ON W ORKS /IP Server
Setting the i.LON 600 Security
The i.LON 600 uses a number of security measures:
• Security Access Reset. A security access reset is required to access the Security
Web page. A security access reset requires physical access to the i.LON 600
hardware.
• Security Web Page. The i.LON 600 Security Web page allows you to password
protect or disable FTP and Web server access to the
i.LON 600.
• MD5 Authentication. The i.LON 600 can use MD5 authentication for
communications on the L ON W ORKS /IP channel, requiring a 16-byte
authentication key.
Security Access Reset
The Security Web page of the i.LON 600 is only available after performing a security
access reset. This Web page allows you to set the user name and password used for FTP
access to the i.LON 600, the MD5 Authentication Key, and allows you to determine what
methods may be used to access the i.LON 600.
To perform a security access reset, follow these steps:
1. Remove the i.LON 600 from the TCP/IP network and attach it directly to
your computer using an Ethernet cable. This step is optional, but is
necessary for optimal security. To communicate with the i.LON 600, you
may need to set your PC’s IP configuration if your PC has a different subnet
than the i.LON 600. See Setting Your PC’s IP Configuration below for
more information.
2. Press and hold the service pin and reset button simultaneously on the i.LON
600 using a ballpoint pen, straightened paper clip, or similar device. You
can also reboot the i.LON by holding down the service pin and clicking
Reboot from the Reboot Web page (see Rebooting the i.LON 600, later in
this chapter).
3. Release the reset button. The LEDs will light for about two seconds.
4. Continue holding the service pin down for approximately 10 seconds.
During this time, both the Power and Service LEDs will blink rapidly. The
Service LED will then illuminate solid orange. You can release the service
pin.
The i.LON 600 will now be in security access mode. When the i.LON 600 is in security
access mode, its IP address should be set to the default setting of 192.168.1.222, the
subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway should be set to
192.168.1.222, the Web server port will be set to 80, and the FTP server port will be
set to 21. They are changed back to the values specified on the Setup and Security Web
pages once the i.LON 600 exits security access mode (i.e. when the i.LON 600 is
rebooted).
You may need to set your PC’s IP configuration in order to communicate with the i.LON
600 after performing a security access reset. See the Setting Your PC’s IP Configuration
section below for more information.
When in security access mode, you can access the Security, Reboot, and Factory Defaults
Web pages. The i.LON 600 Web server is always enabled in security access mode
regardless of the Enable Web Server property described in the following section.
