NOTE: L

ORKS
/IP channels in LNS Turbo Edition require the use of the new
Echelon L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP Configuration Server. As a result, if an
i
.LON 1000 Internet
Server user upgrades from LNS 3.0 to LNS Turbo Edition, they must also upgrade the
Configuration Server. To mitigate this requirement, the LNS Server installation for
Turbo Edition includes the new Echelon L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP Configuration Server. LNS Turbo
Edition and the new Echelon L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP Configuration Server support backward
compatibility with the
i
.LON 1000 Internet Server by allowing the creation of, and
connection to,
i
.LON 1000 Internet Server compatible L

ORKS
/IP channels. If the
Echelon L

/IP Configuration Server is not running on the same PC as the LNS
Server installation, the Echelon L

available to LNS customers for download on the Echelon web-site.
For detailed instructions on how to use the L

Network Interfaces and Network Service Devices
As described in the Device Interfaces section on page 104, all application devices are
assigned a device template representing their external interface (i.e.DeviceTemplate
object) in the LNS database. Each device template has a unique program ID, and
specifies a device’s programmatic interface.
