Before an i. LON 1000 can be added to a L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP channel (see Chapters 5-7 for more
information about L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP channels), basic parameters on the i. LON 1000 must be set.
At a minimum, the IP address and subnet mask for each i. LON 1000 must be specified. The
Console Application , a built-in application that accepts commands in a manner similar to
DOS or UNIX, is used to set the parameters in the i. LON 1000.
To set up the i. LON 1000 using the Console Application, follow these steps:
1.
Connect a PC COM port to the i. LON 1000 Console port using the null-modem cable
that came with your i .LON 1000.
Connect to the Console Application using a VT-100 terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal. (If using HyperTerminal, set the function, arrow, and control keys to
work as Windows keys in Properties/Settings.)
2.
Use the port settings shown in the following figure:
Press the Enter key and the i. LON 1000 system prompt appears indicating that you
have connected.

3.
Issue the following console commands at the command prompt to set the IP properties of
the
i. LON 1000. Make sure that a static, unique IP address is selected for each i. LON
1000 and that the address scheme chosen is valid for the local IP network. See your
network administrator if you need help deciding on proper values for the IP settings.
The syntax for console commands is: command argument
