SLTA- 10 Adapter Overview

The SLTA-10 Serial LonTalk Adapter (Models 73351, 73352, 73353,

and 73354) is a network interface that enables any host processor with

an EIA-232 serial interface to connect to a LONWORKS network. The

SLTA-10 Adapter extends the reach of LONWORKS technology to a

variety of hosts, including desktop, laptop, and palmtop PCs,

workstations, embedded microprocessors, and microcontrollers.

The SLTA-10 Adapter has two modes of operation: NSI and MIP

modes. The SLTA-10 NSI mode is compatible with LNS-based

applications. The SLTA-10 MIP mode is compatible with legacy

applications based on the LonManager@ API or the HA host application

software. The SLTA-10 MIP mode is a replacement for the SLTA/2

Serial LonTalk Adapter. An externally accessible DIP switch

determines the mode of operation.
