• Network is limited to a single channel.
• Network cannot have a router attached to the channel.
• Network does not use LNS ® management.
• Devices cannot be configured with LNS Plug-ins
• Network cannot be connected to any other network management tool
through the network interface or remote network interface.
• L ON W ORKS network variable connections are not supported. A network
in standalone mode functions strictly as a master-slave system. This
differs from the standard LNS mode in which the devices attached to the
Segment Controller’s channel can communicate with each other and the
Segment Controller in a peer-to-peer manner.
Configuring the LonWorks Channel for Power
Line Repeating
For a power line repeating network, the LON channel attached to the Segment
Controller must be configured as a PL-20C or a PL-20N channel and repeating
must be enabled on the channel. To configure the channel, perform the following
steps:
1. Expand the Net network, and then click the LON channel to display the
Lon Channel Property page.
2. From the Setup tab, select the PL-20C, PL-20N, or other appropriate
channel type from the Channel Type dropdown listbox.
Important: The channel type that you select must match the channel
type required by local regulations for the area of device deployment. The
channel type must also match the channel settings for all devices that
will participate in power line communications with the Segment
Controller.
Important: A model 76520R CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module uses
the CENELEC media access protocol by default. To change the media
access protocol used by the CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module, modify
the nciMediaAccess data point. See Appendix A, Interoperable
Interface for the Street Light Bridge, on page 103, for a description of this
data point.
3. Select the Repeating checkbox to enable repeating on the channel.
