Echelon i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server - Manual (Page 48)

Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 L ON W ORKS /IP Server
2. Drop channel shapes onto the drawing representing the IP Channel and
FT-10 Channel 2. For the IP Channel, specify
IP-10L (if using a local IP network) or IP-10W (if using a wide area IP
network, such as the Internet) for the Transceiver Type in the Channel’s
properties. For FT-10 Channel 2, assign TP/FT-10 as the Transceiver
Type.
3. Drop two L ON W ORKS Router shapes onto the drawing, one connecting
FT-10 Channel 1 to IP Channel (iLONRTR_1) and one connecting FT-
10 Channel 2 (iLONRTR_2) to the
IP channel. Follow the LonMaker convention: Channel A of a router is
the side closest to the LNS Network Interface. Channel A of
iLONRTR_1 is attached to FT-10 Channel 1 and Channel B is attached
to IP Channel; Channel A of iLONRTR_2 is attached to IP Channel,
and Channel B is attached to FT-10 Channel 2.
4. Commission the i.LON 600 RTR_1 and i.LON 600 RTR_2 Routers
and leave them in the Online state.
If your IP network contains large latencies, you may need to change the network timing
properties as described in Chapter 8.
Be sure the Configuration Server is running when you commission the i.LON 600
routers or make any other changes to your L
ON W ORKS network, such as adding or
deleting devices or connections.
Once the i.LON 600s have been installed and commissioned, you can add devices,
functional blocks, and connections just as you would in any LonMaker network. See the
LonMaker User's Guide for more information. For example,
Figure 28 shows the network
described above with a DI-10 LonPoint device added to FT-10 Channel 1, and one of the
digital output network variables from the DI-10 device bound to a DO device connected
to channel 3 (switch band to lamp).
