Server is not set. By default, this value is
0.0.0.0
.
Primary/Secondary DNS
Server
The primary and secondary DNS Servers
used to resolve LNS Server names if Obtain
IP address from DHCP Server is not set.
If DNS servers are specified both here and by
the DHCP server, the DNS server specified
by DHCP will be used.
LNS Server 1/2/3
Up to three LNS Server names or IP
addresses in the form <LNS Server IP
Address>:<port>
or <LNS Server
Name>:<port>
(for example, you can specify
123.2.34.1:1628
or
mylns.echelon.com:1628
). The i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter will attempt to send packets
to the first server on the list. If that server
does not respond, it will try the second server,
then the third. LNS Servers can be specified
by DNS name. If DNS names are used, a
DNS server must be listed in
Primary/Secondary DNS Server or be
available through the local network’s DHCP
server. Each Server name can be up to 63
characters long.
Listen for Incoming LNS
Server Connection on Port
The TCP port on which the i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter receives packets
(L
ON
W
ORKS
messages). Defaults to 1628. It
is not recommended that the port number be
set below 1025, as ports 0 through 1024 are
normally reserved.
Note that to receive incoming LNS
connections, the Listen for Incoming LNS
Connections option on the Security Web
page must be checked (this option is cleared
by default).
Initiate Session when an
NV/Explicit Message of the
Following Types Destined
for the LNS Host is
Received
Specify under what conditions the i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter will initiate an uplink
connection to the LNS host. By default, all of
these checkboxes are cleared (i.e. an update
will never initiate a connection to the host).
Use these options to limit the sorts of
network variable updates or explicit
messages that will initiate a session.
Notify xDriver Each Time
IP Address Changes
This option is not supported for LNS 3,
Service Pack 8, Update 1, and earlier.
Set this option to notify the xDriver when the
IP address of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter
changes. This may resolve connectivity
problems if a non-static IP address is used.
