CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide INTRODUCTION LONWORKS/TELECOM CONNECTIVITY DEVICE The SLM SiteLync network modem is an integrated package consisting of a LonTalk adapter and Telco interface, allowing communications with distant LonWorks networks using telecommunications media. Its non-router based design provides maximum connectivity value at minimum levels of installation and operation cost.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Typical Applications Figure 1 shows a typical monitor and control application with the SLM/IM SiteLync network modem being used to connect LonWorks networks to a remote host PC through analog dial-up lines. LonWorks Nodes Host PC SLM-IM PSTN EIA-232 SLM-IM Standard Modem SLM-IM Figure 1.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Figure 3 shows the SLM/CL SiteLync being used to connect a LonWorks network to a remote host PC through a cellular channel. An auxiliary connector is provided to allow a wired connection to the PSTN. This can be used as a backup channel when the wireless channel is not available. Backup Channel LonWorks Nodes Host PC SLM-CL PSTN EIA-232 Standard Modem Cell Site Figure 3.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide The SLM/AY SiteLync can also operate as a serial (EIA-232) LonWorks Network Services Interface (NSI) or Network Interface (NI) as shown in Figure 5. Host PC LonWorks Nodes SLM-AY EIA-232 Figure 5. SLM/AY used as a LonWorks NSI or NI FRONT PANEL All operator controls and connectors are accessible from the front panel. Figure 6 shows the front panel of the SLM/IM model. Other models are similar in appearance.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide CONNECTORS NET LonWorks network, polarity insensitive L1, L2 Input power, DC is polarity insensitive SETUP EIA-232 port for configuration. In RUN mode, data from the modem is also transmitted on this port for diagnostic purposes. HOST EIA-232 HOST port for SLM/AY. PSTN Telephone line connection for SLM/IM and SLM/CL. ISDN S/T connection for SLM/IS.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide SETUP AND OPERATION STEP 1. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE DRIVERS Drivers must be installed on the Host PC to allow communications with an SLM SiteLync module. Even if these device drivers have previously been installed on the host PC for use with some other type of network interface, it is recommended that the following procedure be used to ensure the correct installation of the drivers and the SLM/Config utility.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide STEP 3. MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS LonWorks Network Connection (NET) Connect the LonWorks twisted pair channel to the SLM module via the 2 terminal NET connector. This connection is non-polarity sensitive. Telephone Line Connection (PSTN, ISDN, or CELL) Connect the telephone service line to the PSTN (for SLM/IM), ISDN (for SLM/IS), or CELL (for SLM/CL) connector. An RJ11 is provided on the SLM/IM and SLM/CL models.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide User configuration of SLM SiteLync network modems will only be needed in the following situations : • An SLM/IM used in Europe, where the default country code of “Europe” does not function properly (see “Modem Options” in APPENDIX C). • An SLM/IS requiring other than the Euro-ISDN (DSS1) D channel protocol and the X.75 B channel protocol (see “Modem Options” in APPENDIX C).
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide port and baud rate can be specified. See “Establishing a New Local Link” in APPENDIX A for details. e. Run the SLM/Config utility (slm.exe) to customize the SLM SiteLync module for the application. Be sure to set the proper LON Channel from the LON Setup menu. Characteristics such as modem properties (ie, county code, auto-dial mode, dial directories), security callback, hang-up timer, and auto-dial-out can be specified.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide APPENDIX APPENDIX A. SLTALINK MANAGER AND NSI MODE Host Applications using the LNS platform (such as LonMaker for Windows and Windows DDE Server) require the SLM SiteLync to be used in NSI mode, along with the SLTALink Manager. The SLTALink Manager provides a Windows 32bit driver and a user interface for controlling the connection through an SLM SiteLync network modem in NSI mode and for diagnosing connection problems.

SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Host PC Host Application LNS Software SLTALink Manager and LDVVDD.SYS Network Driver EIA-232 Interface Standard Modem LonWorks Nodes PSTN SLM-IM Figure 7. NSI Mode with Host PC using SLTALink Manager Establishing a New Local Link Use this procedure when the SLM SiteLync SETUP OR HOST port is connected directly to the PC COM port via an RS232 cable. For the SLM/AY, be sure that OPTION switch position 2 is in the UP position.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Establishing a New Remote Link Use this procedure when using an internal or external modem on the PC to dial in to a remote SLM SiteLync. For the SLM/AY, be sure that OPTION switch position 2 is in the DOWN position. For all other models, be sure that the RUN/CFG switch is in the RUN position. Following any change to switch settings, be sure to power cycle or RESET the SLM SiteLync.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide APPENDIX B. MIP MODE USING THE DOS DRIVER LDVSLTA.SYS is the driver used for non-LNS applications running on a DOS or Windows 9x platform involving the SLM SiteLync network modem in MIP mode. This driver will not function on Windows NT. If the MIP mode driver installation was performed as described in STEP 1 of the “SETUP AND OPERATION” section, the MIP mode driver (ldvslta.sys) was loaded onto the host PC. In addition, a device driver was added to config.

CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide APPENDIX C. SLM/CONFIG UTILITY The SLM/Config utility (slm.exe) is a tool to customize the SLM SiteLync module for an application. Characteristics such as modem properties (ie, county code, auto-dial mode, dial directories), security callback, hang-up timer, and auto-dial-out can be specified. The SLM/Config utility is very similar to the Configure SLTA selection in the Devices menu of SLTALink Manager.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Configuration Using an Existing File To configure an SLM SiteLync using an existing file that was previously saved from the SLM/Config utility, select from the File menu : Open File, and select the file to open. The Modem Setup window will be displayed and parameters may be viewed or altered. Click on the Apply button to download the parameters to a connected SLM SiteLync network modem.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync Parameters may also be saved to a file using the menu. TM Save File As User Guide item of the File Modem Options Country (EU Analog Only) European Union compatible modems allow a specification to enable country specific line requirements. Test the SLM SiteLync first using the “Europe” selection. If the connection is not satisfactory, select the actual country of location from the drop-down list. Europe is the default selection.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide Security If security callback is required, select “Enable Callback”, select one of the five Dial Directories, and specify the dial string to be used when connecting to the host PC. This feature is not available in MIP mode. Timers If the SLM SiteLync should control the termination of the connection, specify a non-zero value for the “Hangup Timer”.
CTI Products, Inc. SLM SiteLync TM User Guide APPENDIX D. OPTION SWITCH SETTINGS FOR SLM/AY OPTION (SLM/AY only): Configuration of the SLM/AY is accomplished through the setting of these eight switches. The positions of these switches are read by the SLM firmware following a hardware reset caused by either a power cycle or the pressing of the RESET button. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 DOWN UP 1.
