2.6.1. Node Parameters
e management of these parameters is usually performed by a management tool such as
Echelon's LonMaker®. If you are using a management tool, it is recommended that these
parameters not be changed manually. However, the Interface Menu does allow users to change the
interface parameters manually, if desired. Not all node parameters are editable from this interface
and consequently a node may not be fully congured such as group membership. is capability
is provided for debugging or other special circumstances where a network management tool is
not available and minimal functionality is needed.
ere are three 709 interfaces or stacks on the GR4. ese are called Side A, Side B, and
Application. e Applications refers to the Twin Mode application when enabled. Each interface
is qualied in parenthesis to the type of channel, IP or component network LON. When in
bridging router mode both Side A and Side B are IP and the LON interface is disabled. .
