Note that this script uses the string “112233445566” as the first half of the 96-bit

key and the string “665544332211” as second half of the 96-bit key. Using a key

of “112233445566665544332211” is better than not using authentication, but it is

considered a weak key.

Device Upgrade Planning

To allow your street lighting network to be upgraded over time, you can download

an updated Street Light Bridge application (as Echelon releases application

updates) over the power line network. The application download uses the

standard ISO/IEC 14908-3 download protocol. See Upgrading Devices on page 65

for information about how to perform the application upgrade using the Segment

Controller Web pages.
The application download process includes the following steps:

The Street Light Bridge detects the start of a download by a transition to

the applicationless state.

The Segment Controller then downloads the application, which is stored

in onboard flash memory.

After the download is complete, the Street Light Bridge firmware

computes a checksum of the downloaded application image to verify that

the download was successful. If the checksum fails, the Street Light

Bridge firmware sends a failure response to the “go unconfigured” request

that follows the computation of the checksum. In this case, you should

begin a new download for the application or contact Echelon Support.
