4. Network Integration and Management
4.1. Manual Mode Example
Configuring in Manual Mode
is section contains step-by-step instructions on configuring two GRouter devices to tunnel
709.1 packets over IP between each other. is will create an IP backbone for a 709.1 network.
• Using the web configuration pages, set up IP addresses, subnet masks, and IP gateway
addresses for the two routers. Connect the routers to the same IP network. Using a PC
attached to the network, verify that the routers can be pinged. Consult with the network
administrator to procure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, if not already
known.
• Set both routers to manual mode. is is done on the Router Setup Page.
• Add each router’s IP address and communications port number (the default port is 1628) into
the other router’s channel list. Set the addressing type to unicast or multicast in the channel
details menu. is is done on the Channel List Page.
• Once steps 1–3 have been completed, the routers will be able to communicate with each other
over the IP network. is can be verified by pressing the service pin on one of the routers and
checking the Diagnostics Page on the other router for packets received. e fields “Data
Packets Received” and “IP Packets Received” should increase with each service pin.
• For the routers to tunnel traffic, the 709.1 interfaces must be set up. is can be done on the
709 Setup Page or with a network management tool such as LonMaker. Refer to the
management tool's documentation on commissioning routers. For example, the GRouter can
be commissioned using the Router icon within LonMaker.
4.2. Normal Mode With i.LON Configuration Server Example
is section contains step-by-step instructions on configuring the GRouter device with an i.LON
Configuration Server .
• Using the web configuration pages, set up IP address(es), subnet mask(s), and IP gateway
address(es) for the router(s). Connect the router(s) to the same IP network as the PC running
the configuration server. Using a PC attached to the network, verify that the routers can be
pinged. Consult with the network administrator to procure the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address, if not already known.
• Set the router(s) to normal mode. Set the configuration server address to the address of the
computer that is running the i.LON Configuration Tool. Set the configuration server port to
that used by the i.LON configuration server. e default is 1629. Set the compatibility type to
i.LON Configuration Server. Register the device with the configuration server by clicking on
the
Register With Config Server
button. is is done on the Router Setup Page.
• Go to the i.LON configuration server window and drag the GRouter device from the orphans
list to the desired channel. e router(s) should be added to the same channel. Aer a few
seconds, the router devices should turn green.
