4 Dialogs with TAC Xenta 100
4.1 General
TAC Xenta OP can be used as a service and limited commissioning tool
for the TAC Xenta 100 Zone Controllers. These controllers use Net-
work Variables of the LonWorks standard type (“SNVT”, Standard
Network Variable Type) for all data communication on the network. All
Network Variables, including the configuration parameters can be
accessed via the keypad and the LCD display.
In order to separate this general kind of communication from the dedi-
cated communication used with TAC Xenta 280/300/401 controllers,
the TAC Xenta OP has two different communication modes.

Notes
• The very first time a TAC Xenta OP is connected to a Xenta net-
work, the TAC Xenta 100 communication mode is, by default, in
the Off state.
Please refer to the end of chapter 2 for the necessary procedures
to change the communication mode.
• When this has been done, the operator is given a choice to access
TAC Xenta 100 (instead of the TAC Xenta 280/300/401).
