e GRouter device’s LAN address must also be static and the 852 port must be mapped by the
NAT router.
NAT Router Support
: ese radio buttons allow the user to set or enable or disable NAT router
support. When enabled the node substitutes the NAT Router WAN Address as the source address
in appropriate packet headers so that other 852 nodes can respond through the NAT Router. is
enables 852 devices that are on other LANs on the WAN side of the NAT router to correctly
respond to the local GRouter device. It may or may not be possible to have two GRouter devices
on the same LAN side of a NAT Router when NAT support is enabled. Each GRouter would need
to have a unique 852 port number mapped by the NAT Router and the NAT router would have to
be able to support local loopback of WAN addressed packets. Select the new value and click the
Submit Changes
button.
852 Bridging Mode
: is displays and controls the status of the 852 Bridging Router mode for the
router. ese buttons only appear if the router has Bridging Router Mode support activated on
the
Status Page
. To enable or disable 852 bridging mode, select the radio button that corresponds
to the desired state,
On
for enable,
Off
for disable, and then click the
Submit Changes
button.
Finally select the
Reboot
button. A description of the configuration of
Bridging Router Mode
is
provided in a later section. e device must be rebooted before Bridging mode takes effect.
Compatibility Mode
: is popup menu field allows the user to change the configuration server
compatibility mode. e three choices are Standard 852, i.Lon Config Server, and CoactiveLL
Config Server. Select the new value and click the “Submit Changes” button.
e router-LL config server and some versions of the i.LON config server and were developed
before the final version of the ANSI/EIA 852 specification was finalized. Consequently there are
variations in how they function.
•
Standard 852 Mode
: Select when using a fully 852 compliant configuration server.
•
Backward Compatibility Mode
: Select when using version 1.x of the i.LON configuration
server. is is required for channels with i.LON 1000 devices.
•
Coactive Router-LL (TM) ConfigServer Compatibility Mode
: Select when using the Router-LL
configuration server.
ConfigServer IP Address
: is field requires information only when the router is operating in
Normal mode (See “MODE” above). is is the unicast IP host address of the configuration
server for this channel. To change the value in the field, type in the new value in the dotted format
XX.XX.XX.XX
and click the
Submit Change
s button.
ConfigServer IP Port
: is field requires information only when the router is operating in Normal
mode (See “MODE” above). is is the IP unicast port of the configuration server for this
channel. To change the port, type in the new port number (0-65535), and click the
Submit
Changes
button. e default designated port for 852 servers is 1629.
Serial Transaction Mode
: ese radio buttons allow the user to enable or disable Serial
Transaction Mode. When enabled the Router will send out 852 configuration updates serially in a
round robin fashion to the other 852 devices on the channel instead of in parallel. is means that
an update transaction has to complete or time-out with one device before a new transaction is
started with the next device. is mode significantly reduces bursts of traffic when devices are
