7. References to the target L
ONWORKS network variables ( ) are added underneath the hub
network variables in the LNS tree in the left frame. Updates to the selected hub network variable
will be propagated to the target network variables listed underneath the hub.
Repeat this step to connect the selected hub network variable to any other desired compatible
target hub network variables.
• If the target network variable is not compatible with the hub network variable a warning
message appears. You can delete the connection by right-clicking the reference to the target
network variable on the LNS tree in the left frame and clicking Delete on the shortcut menu.
See Chapter 5 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide for more information on how to do
this.
• You can also check whether a LONWORKS
CONNECTION is valid by right-clicking the
reference to the target network variable on the LNS tree in the left frame and clicking
Validate on the shortcut menu. The WebBinder Validation Results dialog opens and
displays the results. See Chapter 5 of the i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User’s Guide for more
information on how to do this.
8. Click Submit. When an event-driven update defined in the device application occurs, the hub
network variable sends an updated value to the selected target network variables.
9. Optionally, you can change the messaging service used for the connection (Acknowledged,
Repeating, or Unacknowledged). To do this, click Driver, and then select one or more of the
target network variables under the hub network variable in the LNS tree.
Note that all LonWorks connections created in the LNS tree use Subnet/Node ID addressing.
This means that a message packet travels from the sending device to the destination device using
the 2-byte logical address of the destination device in the network.
The default messaging service for LonWorks connections created in the LNS tree is
Acknowledged LonBinding.
