the value of the nciMediaAccess configuration network variable to specify the
power line media access protocol:
• 0 (default): The Street Light Bridge module uses the media access
protocol setting defined in the firmware. That is, European models use
the CENELEC protocol, and other models do not.
• 1 (normal): The Street Light Bridge module uses the communication
parameters of a PL-20N device. That is, the CENELEC EN50065-1
media access protocol is
disabled . The device program ID reports a PL-
20N channel. The XIF file for this mode is slb-normal.xif.
• 2 (cenelec): The Street Light Bridge module uses the communication
parameters of a PL-20C device. That is, the CENELEC EN50065-1
media access protocol is
enabled . The device program ID reports a PL-
20C channel. The XIF file for this mode is slb-cenelec.xif.
Changing the value of this configuration network variable overrides the setting
maintained in the device firmware. Changes to this configuration network
variable require a device reset, and that all devices (luminaires, Street Light
Bridge modules, and the Segment Controller) within the same network use the
same media access protocol setting.
Preparing the Segment Controller
To prepare a Segment Controller for a street lighting network, perform the
following tasks:
1. Place the SmartServer in standalone mode; see Placing the Segment
Controller in Standalone
Mode on page 28.
2. Enable the SmartServer to manage a power line repeating network; see
Configuring the LonWorks Channel for Power Line Repeating on page 29.
3. If the network configuration is known, or if device security is configured
before the devices are installed (that is, in a pre-deployment facility),
enter the Neuron IDs of all of the Street Light Bridge modules and
luminaires for the network.
4. If the network configuration is not known, or if device security is
configured after the devices are installed (that is, in the field), place the
SmartServer in acquisition mode so that it can discover and commission
all devices within the network; see
Automatically Discovering Devices on
page
30.
5. Copy the resource files for streetlight devices (luminaires and Street
Light Bridge modules) within the network to the /lonWorks/Import folder.
6. Back up the SmartServer database; see the
i.LON SmartServer 2.0
User's Guide
. For a remote backup, you could back up just the /config
folder; for a local backup (for example, in a pre-deployment facility), you
should back up all folders within the SmartServer.
Preparing the Street Light Bridge Modules
To prepare a Street Light Bridge module for a street lighting network, perform
the following tasks:
