Street Light Bridge Integrator’s Guide 39
1. If the network configuration is known, or if device security is configured
before the devices are installed (that is, in a pre-deployment facility),
define the authentication key for the device. You can use any 12-byte
(96-bit) key.
2. If the network configuration is not known, or if device security is
configured after the devices are installed (that is, in the field), note the
Neuron ID for the device (printed on the module) so that you can match
the installed location of the Street Light Bridge module with its Neuron
ID in the Segment Controller.
3. Define which domains the device should use for normal communications.
You can use any 1-, 3-, or 6-byte domain, but a 6-byte domain is
recommended; for example, you could use the 6-byte Neuron ID of the
Segment Controller as the network segment domain. If security is not
required for your network, each device can use a single domain for both
discovery and normal communications.
Preparing the Luminaires
To prepare a luminaire for a street lighting network, perform the following tasks:
1. If the network configuration is known, or if device security is configured
before the devices are installed (that is, in a pre-deployment facility),
define the authentication key for the device. You can use any 12-byte
(96-bit) key.
2. If the network configuration is not known, or if device security is
configured after the devices are installed (that is, in the field), note the
Neuron ID for the device (generally printed on or attached to the device)
so that you can match the installed location of the luminaire with its
Neuron ID in the Segment Controller.
3. Define which domains the device should use for device discovery and for
normal communications. You can use any 1-, 3-, or 6-byte domain, but a
6-byte domain is recommended; for example, you could use the 6-byte
Neuron ID of the Segment Controller as the network segment domain. If
security is not required for your network, each device can use a single
domain for both discovery and normal communications.
Device Discovery
Before the Segment Controller can discover and commission luminaires and
Street Light Bridge modules within the street lighting network, you must place
the Segment Controller in acquisition mode; see
Automatically Discovering
Devices
on page 30 for more information.
If you install the Segment Controller before installing any luminaires or Street
Light Bridge modules, you can pre-define each luminaire or Street Light Bridge
module within the Segment Controller. In this case, the Segment Controller
discovers and commissions each device as it is installed. For any devices that the
Segment Controller cannot discover, you can install a Street Light Bridge module
to extend the communications range so that the device can be discovered.
If you install luminaires or Street Light Bridge modules before installing their
corresponding Segment Controller, the Segment Controller must discover and
