2. Drag channel shapes to the drawing representing the FT-10 Channel 1 and FT-10
Channel 2 and assign TP/FT-10 as the Transceiver Type for both channels.
3. Drag two L ON W ORKS Router shapes to the drawing:
• iLONRTR_1. Connects IP-852 Channel (Channel A) to FT-10 Channel 1
(Channel B).
• iLONRTR_2. Connects IP-852 Channel (Channel A) to FT-10 Channel 2
(Channel B).
4. Commission the iLONRTR_1 and iLONRTR_2 routers, and leave them in the Online
state.
If your IP network contains large latencies, you may need to change the network
timing properties as described in Chapter 3.
Note: Verify that the IP-852 Configuration Server is running when you commission
the IP-852 routers or make any other changes to your L ON W ORKS network, such as
adding or deleting devices or connections. You can keep the IP-852 Configuration
Server running at all times so that you don’t forget to start it when it is required.
Once the IP-852 devices have been installed and commissioned, you can add devices,
functional blocks, and connections just as you would in any LonMaker network. See
the LonMaker User's Guide for more information. For example, Figure 2.11 shows
the network described above with a Digital Input device (DI-10) device added to
FT-10 Channel 1, and one of the digital output network variables from the DI-10
device bound to a DO device (DO-2) connected to FT-10 Channel 2 (switch band to
lamp).
