1. NODE DISCOVERY Web Page
How to get here: Upon entering the public IP address of your router or the first IP address of a
Node into your browser, this web page displays all LNET, LTE, LNET485 and LTNET485 Nodes on
the same LAN as the router or first Node.
NODE NAME: A Node’s default name is “Node” followed by the Node’s unique MAC address. This
name may be changed by the user to a more descriptive name by clicking on SETUP.
IP ADDRESS: The Node’s IP address, which can be entered into a browser such as Internet
Explorer or be the destination of a web link.
TYPE: The Node’s type (LNET, LNET485, LTE or LTNET485). LNET is an Ethernet communication
board in a 1/8 DIN instrument. LNET485 is an Ethernet-to-RS485 device server board in a 1/8 DIN
instrument. LTE is a DIN rail mounted transmitter with an Ethernet interface. LTNET485 is a DIN
rail mounted Ethernet-to-RS485 device server. Clicking on TYPE brings up a FACTORY SETUP
screen, which is password protected.
FIRMWARE: The Node’s firmware version, which can be updated using Node Manager Software
without loss of setup data. Check for the latest version, which can be downloaded from our
website.
SETUP: A link to the NODE SETUP web page, which allows changes to the Node’s time zone,
name, LED status, and passwords.
DEVICES: A link to the DEVICE DISCOVERY web page, which lists all Devices (or instruments)
attached to the Node. With an LNET or LTE Node, this will be a single meter or transmitter. With
an LNET485 or LTNET485 server Node, there can be a mix of up to 31 meters and transmitters on
an RS485 bus.
LAN: A link to the NODE DISCOVERY screen (this screen), which lists all Nodes on the LAN.
DEVICES: A link to the DEVICE DISCOVERY screen, which lists all Devices attached to this Node.
