hospital’s emergency power generator for various alarm conditions. Alarms initiate connections to an LNS service center where the alarm is processed and displayed. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is available in two models, free topology and power-line. The free topology model contains a TP/XF-FT-10 transceiver and can be connected to a TP/XF-FT-10 LONWORKS channel. The power-line model contains a PL-22 transceiver and can be connected to a PL-20 power-line LONWORKS channel. i.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter, PL model These hardware inputs and outputs have the following functions: Power LED Green LED that illuminates steadily while the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter has power. Ethernet Link LED Green LED that illuminates when the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter has established an Ethernet link via the 10Base-T port. Ethernet Transmit LED Green LED that flashes when traffic is received on the 10Base-T network.
kHz. This LED is only on the power-line version. Power Input Barrel connector power supply input for use with the included power supply (Echelon model 780x0 series for the free-topology model). The included Tamura 420A12150P supply should be used with the power-line model. 10Base-T Ethernet Port Standard 10BaseT connection, type RJ-45. LONWORKS TP/FT-10 Port For the free-topology model, an orange Weidmuller connector (Weidmuller model #134686) connected to an Echelon TP/FT-10 transceiver.
10. Click Setup and enter the IP parameters in the setup page as described in Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s IP Information, below. 11. Still on the Setup page, enter the LNS Server IP information as described in Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to Communicate With An LNS Server. Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s IP Information The setup web page allows you to configure the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s IP information.
qualified host/domain name so the LNS server knows which LONWORKS database to open. By default, the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s host name is ilon10. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter must be reset for change in this value to take effect. The URL of the i.LON 10 is Hostname.DNS Suffix (i.e. if Hostname is set to ilon10 and DNS Suffix is set to echelon.com, the URL will be ilon10.echelon.com. Valid characters are numbers, letters, and the hyphen (‘-‘) character. This field has a maximum length of 63 characters.
the DHCP server, the DNS server specified by DHCP will be used. Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to Communicate With An LNS Server Once your i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is established as part of a TCP/IP network, you can configure it to be able to communicate uplink with one or more LNS Servers. Set the following fields in the Setup web page to allow the i.
Key, the Text Shared Secret will be cleared. The MD5 authentication key or shared secret entered here must match the key or phrase supplied to the xDriver and LNS Server software with which the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter communicates. Using an MD5 authentication key or phrase prevents unauthorized messages from being sent to either the LNS Server or the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter. Save and Exit Click to close this page, write the configuration changes to FLASH memory, and reset the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter.
Security Access Reset The following features of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter are available only after performing a security access reset: • Access to the MD5 Authentication Key on the setup web page (see i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Setup Web Page, earlier in this chapter). • Access to the Display Factory Defaults button on the setup web page. • Access to the security web page (see i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Security Web Page, earlier in this chapter). • Access to the Perform Self-Test web page.
This page contains the following options: 10 Allow HTTP Access Set this option to allow users to access the i.LON 10 web pages with the exception of the Firmware Page and the Security Page (both of which can only be accessed after a security access reset). If set, enter a Username and Password that will grant access. The Username and Password may contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters; they are case sensitive. By default, the Username and Password are set to ilon.
default. Performing a security access reset resets the Password to ilon. Allow Incoming LNS Server Connections Set this option to allow connections initiated from external LNS Servers. If this option is set, you should modify the MD5 Authentication Key or Shared Secret to prevent access from unauthorized LNS Servers (see Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to Communicate With An LNS Server). Installing and Configuring the xDriver Software The i.
2. The control panel applet lists the LNS network interface name of all the i.LON 10s that have been added to the Registry below the Default item. In the figure above three i.LON 10s have been added to the Windows Registry. Default represents the Default xDriver Profile. This is the set of configuration parameters that determines how the default xDriver will manage connections to your i.LON 10s.
4. Click OK. This opens the tab shown in the following figure: 5. Configure the fields on the General tab. The following table describes these fields. Field Hostname Description Maximum Length: 63 chars Legal Chars: A-Z, a-z, “-“, 0-9 Comments: Enter the TCP/IP hostname of the i.LON 10. xDriver will use the hostname to connect to the i.LON 10. DNS Suffix Maximum Length: 63 chars Legal Chars: A-Z, a-z, “-“, 0-9,”.” Comments: Enter the name of the IP domain on which the i.LON 10 is installed.
7. Configure the fields on the Address/Port tab. The following table describes these fields. Field Description i.Lon is listening Default Value: 1628 on port: Range: 1-65,535 Comments: Enter the TCP port number the i.LON 10 is using to listen for incoming connections from the LNS server. Use Static IP Address Comments: Click the Use Static IP Address button to manually enter the IP address of the i.LON 10. You must enter an IP address in the form x.x.x.x, where x is an integer in the range 0-255.
8. You can choose to authenticate connections to this i.LON 10 using the MD5 authentication key or the text secret phrase configured into the i.LON 10. Using an MD5 authentication key or text secret phrase prevents the LNS Server and the i.LON 10 from responding to unauthorized messages during an xDriver session. NOTE: This authentication key is not the same as the authentication key used within the LONWORKS network. To use the MD5 authentication key, click the Use MD5 Key button.
