8. Note that the diagnostic information provided about the i LON 600s indicated by the varying i LON 600 icon colors is more complete than the diagnostics provided by the changing colors of the NAT gateways The Configuration Server cannot acquire the same level of diagnostic information about an NAT gateway as it can about i LON 600s Table 16 describes the meanings of the different icon colors Table 16 Configuration Server Icon Colors Color Description Green Configuration Server has communicated with the i LON 600 and configuration is up to date Yellow The i LON 600 s time differs from the time on the PC running the Configuration Server by more than a few milliseconds This usually means that either the i LON 600 or the PC is not referencing an SNTP server to set the local time The system may work with some yellow devices but the probability of data loss is increased You should provide an SNTP server to both the PC and the LON 600 so that their time bases can be synchronized When synchronized the yellow icon should turn green Red The Configuration Server can not communicate with the i LON 600 This may happen if the i LON 600 is powered down disconnected from the IP network or has been configured improperly with the wrong IP address subnet mask gateway etc It may also occur if an intervening NAT gateway has not been configured to statically map ports to the LON 600 as described above Orange The i LON 6

17. MS and the Channel Delay to 200 MS Factors in determining Channel Timeout include e Variations on each leg of a round trip Your timeout parameter should factor the maximum delay into one leg of the trip e Maximum difference between the times on the LONWORKS IP devices The LONWORKS IP device stamps its time on a packet when it is sent on the IP network and the target LONWoRKS IP device compares the stamp to its own time If the time has expired time of device time stamp in packet is greater than channel timeout the IP packet is discarded by the target device as stale You can estimate the maximum difference between the times on the devices by comparing the offsets displayed in the Configuration Server log window log when you run the channel Time Check command Packet Reorder Timer Packet Reorder Timer is a LONWORKS IP channel property that allows you to set the amount of time that the device will wait for an out of order IP packet to arrive This parameter is important for wide area networks where IP packets can traverse multiple routers from source to destination causing packets to appear on the receiver in a different order than transmitted If selected the value defaults to 64 milliseconds Packets on a local area network do not get out of order so you should not set the reorder packets parameter in this case Using the packet reordering feature or an overly long reordering timer value can cause unnecessary delays in packet

Name System This system allows you to convert hard or numeric IP addresses for example 131 23 203 17 into one based on letters and words www myhouse com To be able to use names instead of hard IP addresses to browse the Internet you must specify at least one DNS server when you setup your PC s TCP IP networking If you selected Obtain an IP address automatically the DNS server is obtained automatically from the DHCP server at the same time that the PC obtains its IP address Note When a browser tries to view a web site it asks the DNS server to translate the name of a web site into an IP address It then uses the IP address to contact the web site The actual IP packets never contain the proper name of the Web site only the hard IP address that was resolved by the DNS server If you had a static IP address at your home you could register that IP address with one of the Internet registrars such as register com and associate a name with that static IP address The registrar will propagate the address name pair throughout the Internet s DNS servers for you allowing you ultimately to tell people to go to www myhouse com instead of 131 23 203 17 This only works for static IP addresses because each time you change the address you need to contact the registrar to setup the new address name pair across the Internet This may take up to two days for an address name pair to propagate through the entire Internet DNS DHCP Rela

ONWorKS IP Server improves on the performance of the i LON 1000 with a new generation processor and package that provides reliable secure Internet access to virtually any electrical device including lights appliances switches thermostats motors meters valves HVAC elevators and security access products The i LON 600 lets you communicate with devices to monitor adjust and reconfigure them as needed The LON 600 s LonTalk router application allows IP to be used as a standard LONWORKS channel Here the term router is used to signify a LONWORKS router not an IP router From the LONWORKS perspective the router application has all of the characteristics of a LONWORKS router with one side connected to a twisted pair LONWORKS channel and the other side connected to a LONWorRKS IP channel The router application can be configured as any of the four standard LONWORKS router types configured learning configured bridge or repeater The performance of the i LON 600 is derived from a powerful 32 bit RISC processor and Echelon s LONWoRKS IP software architecture The result is very high packet throughput in networks with large numbers of nodes and or fast monitoring and display requirements The i LON 600 e Allows the millions of Internet ready LONWoRKS devices to be monitored controlled or configured over the Internet e Transforms the Internet or any IP based LAN or WAN into a pathway for carrying LONWORKS control info

P addresses Note that IP host names are usually used to reference servers such as a Web server www echelon com a database server or a file server Because these servers are fixed assets they are usually assigned a static IP address That static IP address is also entered into a DNS server so that the mapping between the IP host name and the numeric IP address can be made If you are in control of your local DNS server you should give all participants in your LONWoRKS IP channel static IP addresses and create DNS entries for each participant This allows you to specify an IP host name when setting up the LONWoRKS IP channel in the Configuration Server instead of numeric IP addresses The Configuration Server will translate the IP host name into a numeric IP address and pass that address to all members of the channel Note The i LON 600s themselves do not query DNS servers to resolve addresses they only work with numeric IP addresses provided by the Configuration Server By default the configuration server will periodically once every five minutes attempt to resolve any IP host name on all channels including SNTP server with a DNS server If a translation is successful and the resulting IP address is different than what was previously used the channel members will be updated This re translation process also occurs when the Configuration Server is first started Follow the below steps to set the Configuration Server automatic IP hos
