depending on transceiver type. In addition, the SLTA-10 configuration DIP switches
are externally accessible. The SLTA-10 enclosure has been improved to allow wall
mounting, without requiring a bracket.
The SLTA/2 and the SLTA-10 MIP mode use the same drivers and link layer protocol.
The SLTA- 70 Adapter Configurations
The SLTA-10 Adapter is available with the following transceiver and power supply
options:
l Transceivers. The SLTA-10 Adapter is available with four LONWORKS channel
options: TP/FT-10, TP/XF-78, TP/XF-1250, and TP-RS485. The FTT-1OA (78kbps,
free or bus topology), TPT/XF-78 (78kbps, bus topology) and TPT/XF-1250
(1.25Mbps, bus topology) transceivers use transformer-isolated, differential
transmission.
l Power supply. 9V plug-in power supplies are available in U.S./Canada (Model
78010), U.K. (Model 78030), continental European (Model 78020), and Japanese
(Model 78030) configurations. Plug-in power supplies are sold separately.
Alternately, screw terminals are supplied for use with a 9 to 3OVACYDC power
sources.
Software A vailability
The SLTA-10 Adapter is not shipped with software.
Software for the SLTA-10 NSI mode is available with the LonMaker for Windows
Integration Tool (Model 370001, on the LNS Developer’s Kit for Windows CD (Model
34303), in the Connectivity Starter Kit (Model 58030-011, or from the Developer’s
Toolbox of the Echelon web site (http://www.echelon.com).
Software for the SLTA-10 MIP mode is distributed in the Connectivity Starter Kit
(Model 58030-01) and from the Developer’s Toolbox of the Echelon web site.
LNS Compatibility
When the SLTA-10 Adapter is connected directly to the PC host (i.e., no modems), the
SLTA-10 Adapter uses a direct connection. For a direct connection, the SLTA-10
Adapter behaves like any other NSI, such as the PCLTA-10 Adapter or the PCC-10
PC Card. In this case, an SLTA-10 Adapter may be used without issue with
applications based on any version of LNS starting with 1.0.
The SLTA-10 Adapter is also designed so that a PC host can be connected to the
network through a pair of modems and the telephone network.
In this scenario, the
PC is a remote host. When the PC initiates the phone call to the SLTA-10 Adapter,
the remote host is said to “dial-in to the network”.
When the SLTA-10 Adapter
initiates a call to the PC, the SLTA-10 is said to “dial-out to the remote host”.
Once
the phone connection is established, the application running on the remote host can
perform network management, monitoring, or control activities.
