on the router. If configured correctly, the router will have an entry in its Channel List for
each router shown in the configuration server’s channel list.
The routers will now communicate with each other over IP and will tunnel packets
between networks once they have been commissioned using LonMaker or another
compatible network management tool.
4.3. Communicating With Lonmaker With IP Interface
This section describes how to connect LonMaker as an 852 device on the same channel as the
eNodeIV device.
Setup the eNodeIV device and the configuration server as per the preceding section
Attach the computer running LonMaker to the same IP network with the eNodeIV
device. This may be the same computer as that running the configuration server but
with a different IP port for LonMaker. LonMaker must be running with an open network
whose network interface is set to this IP channel. Consult the LonMaker manual for
instructions. LonMaker should show up in orphans list in the configuration server
window.
Drag LonMaker onto the channel where the eNodeIV device resides. If all the devices do
not go green then right-click the Channel icon and select the
Commission Members
option.
Add both the eNodeIV and the PC that is running the LonMaker software to the i.LON
Configuration Tool. Both devices should be added to the same channel. When the
devices have been added to the Configuration Tool, right-click the Channel icon and
select the “Commission Members” option. After a few seconds, both the LonMaker PC
and the eNodeIV devices will turn green.
You will now be able to install and commission the eNodeIV devices as 709.1 routers in
the LonMaker network diagram.
4.4. Commissioning eNodeIV Device With LonMaker
There are two ways that a network management tool such as LonMaker can communicate with
and commission an eNodeIV device. The first way is for the network management tool to be
connected to a LON channel that is connected to the LON channel for the eNodeIV. The
connection may go through several other routers. The second way is for the network
management tool to be directly connected to the same 852 IP channel as the eNodeIV device.
In either case once a viable connection has been established the network management tool
may now install and commission the eNodeIV device into its network diagram
If the LonMaker diagram already has the IP channel wherein the eNodeIV is member
then go to the next step. Otherwise, create a new IP channel.
Create a new TP-10 channel in the LonMaker Visio screen.
