install the SLTA-10 Adapter in a LonBuilder network using the service pin, you must
either connect the SLTA-10 Adapter to a host, and open the network driver (for
example, by running
HA),
or else set SwitchSKFGl to the Network Enable state.
When installing the SLTA-10 Adapter node, the channel definition must match the
transceiver on the SLTA-10 Adapter.
If it does not, the SLTA-10 Adapter will not
accept the new values. A
‘No’
response is required to the prompt,
Do you want to
install communications parameters?
DO NOT use the Yes response to the
prompt: Do you want to install communications parameters? unlessthe
channel and hardware definitions are compatible with the transceiver and input clock
on the SLTA-10 Adapter.
When defining the application image, the
App
Image Origin
field should be set to
Interface File,
and the
App Image Name
should be set to the name of an
external interface file (XIF)created as described under Binding to a Host Node in
Chapter 3 of the LONWORKS Host Application Programmer’s Guide.
WARNING: This is NOT the default setting for the App Image Origin. If you
specify a Neuron C source file as the App Image Origin, the SLTA-10 Adapter may
be rendered unusable.
If the SLTA-10 Adapter is accidentally configured with the wrong communication
parameters, it may be rebooted with the
NODEUTIL
application available on Echelon’s
web site. See the
README. TXT
file included with
NODEUTIL
