10 Configuring the LonBridge Server
Configuring the LonBridge Server
For the LonBridge Server, you can specify the following configuration
information:
• The L ON W ORKS network interface
• The LAN Internet protocol (IP) address
• The LAN IP port
• The L
ON W ORKS network variable polling interval
• The event logging level for the LonBridge Server
This information configures the communications for the LonBridge Server to be
able to communicate with the L
ON
W
ORKS
network and the TCP/IP network. It
also configures L ON W ORKS polling and event logging.
You can specify this basic configuration information for the LonBridge Server
either by:
• Running the LonBridge Control utility – for Windows platforms only
(available only for accounts that are part of the administrators group)
• Modifying the LonBridge configuration file (config.xml) – for both
Windows and Linux platforms
All configuration values have default values, so if you do not specify a configured
value, the LonBridge Server uses the default values described in The config.xml
File on page 11.
The LonBridge Control Utility
The LonBridge Control utility, shown in Figure 2 on page 11, is a Windows
application program that allows you to specify certain configuration and
operating parameters for the LonBridge Server software and control the
Windows service for the LonBridge Server. The LonBridge Control utility
maintains its settings in the LonBridge configuration file (config.xml).
Important: The LonBridge Control utility is available for Windows platforms
only. In addition, the LonBridge Control utility is a C# application and requires
the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The Windows installer for the
LonBridge Server automatically installs the necessary .NET Framework.
