Connect the network cabling to the U60.
2. Insert the Micro-B USB plug of the supplied USB cable into the USB connector
on the USB DIN.
3. Insert the Type A USB plug of the supplied USB cable into an available USB port
on your computer.
4. If this is the only L
ON
W
ORKS
interface installed on your computer, it will
automatically LON1 as the default name, and you can proceed directly to your
software application and begin using the interface as LON1. If you have multiple
L
ON
W
ORKS
network interfaces, you can use the LonWorks Interfaces application
described in the next section to determine the name of each of your network
interfaces.
Using the L

Interfaces Application
You can use the L
ON
W
ORKS
Interfaces application to configure, test, reset, or
remove a L
ON
W
ORKS
USB interface. These procedures are described in the following
sections. The L
ON
W
ORKS
Interfaces application is in the Windows Control Panel
Each L
ON
W
ORKS
USB interface has a unique ID, and the L
ON
W
ORKS
Interfaces
application keeps track of each L
ON
W
ORKS
network interface plugged into a
computer, even after they have been detached from the computer. This means that
you can remove a particular USB interface from your computer and later reattach it,
and it will continue to use the same L
ON
W
ORKS
network interface name (e.g. LON1
or LON2) once you reattach it and it is recognized by your computer, regardless of
how many USB interfaces are plugged into your computer, or in which order. It also
means that each USB interface will retain the network interface name assigned to it,
even after it has been detached from your computer.
