Echelon i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server - Manual (Page 49)

Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 Internet Server
Verifying Router Functionality
To verify that the i.LON 600 Routers in the network shown in Figure 26 are working
correctly, right-click on the network variable connection between
DI-10 (switch) functional block and DO-10 (LED) function block and select Monitor
Input Value. Verify that the value displayed on the connection in LonMaker is tracking
the value of the Digital Output network variable in DI-10 functional block. If you fail to
see network variable updates reported by LonMaker, there is a problem. Refer to
Table 9
for troubleshooting information.
Table 9. Troubleshooting the i.LON 600 Router
Symptom Probable Cause Corrective Action
There is a problem with
network connectivity, or
the network interface in
the PC may not be
functioning properly. Test connectivity between the network interface driver and the
network interface card in the PC using the L
ON W ORKS Plug and
Play Control Panel applet that came with the network interface.
Test to make sure the applet can receive a service pin message
from some other node on the same channel as the i.LON.
The i.LON 600 may not
be physically connected
to the network interface. Check the network wiring between the PC and the i.LON 600.
No IP address has been
assigned to the
i.
LON 600.
Configure the IP address in the i.LON 600 using the setup web
pages and the Configuration Server.
The router application has
not yet been created on
the i.LON 600. Create the LONWORKS router application using the Console
Application.
The VNI has not been
added to the
Configuration Server. Add the VNI to the Configuration Server.
No service pin message
is received from the near
router (iLONRTR_1 in
Figure 27 ).
The IP channel properties
have not been properly
set. For a local Intranet, make sure the channel property/transceiver
type in the LonMaker tool is IP-10L. For a WAN (Internet), choose
IP-10W.
The near router
(iLONRTR_1)
commissions
successfully, but no
service pin message is
received from the far
router (iLONRTR_2). There is a problem with
the L
ON W ORKS /IP
channel setup.
Be sure the Configuration Server is running in the background
when commissioning i.LON 600 routers. Verify that the near router
is online and that the Configuration Server reports connectivity
among all members of the L
ON W ORKS /IP channel (e.g. all icons
are green).
Both i.LON 600 routers
commission
successfully, but the
device on the far side of
i
LONRTR_2 (the DI-10
LonPoint device) does
not install correctly.
There is a problem with
the L
ON W ORKS /IP
channel or the device
being installed.
Verify that the far router is online. Test devices on the far side
channel (using the LonMaker Test command). If the test succeeds
for any other device on the far channel, the L
ON W ORKS /IP channel
is working, and the improperly working device may not be installed
correctly.
If no test succeeds, verify connectivity between the i.LON 600
devices in the main dialog status window of the Configuration
Server.
An i.LON 600 added to a
L
ON W ORKS /IP channel
using the Configuration
Server remains red in
the device tree.
IP connectivity problem:
the Configuration Server
is not able to
communicate with the
i.
LON 600 on the defined
L ON W ORKS /IP channel.
Verify that the PC running the Configuration Server can ping the
i.
LON 600. To perform a ping, open the Windows Command
Prompt (in the Accessories menu) and type “ping 10.2.11.XXX
(the device’s IP address)”. You should receive a reply from your
device.
Examine the Configuration Server trace window for clues as to
what may be going wrong.
