NAT router. This is only applicable when the router is connected to the internet through a NAT
router and needs to communicate with 852 devices on other LANs. To change the value in the
field, type in the new value in the dotted format
XX.XX.XX.XX
and click the “Submit Changes”
button. When using a NAT router as the internet interface for the LAN upon the eNodeIV device
is connected, the NAT router’s WAN IP address must be static (unless Dynamic DNS is used).
The eNodeIV device’s LAN address must also be static and the 852 port must be mapped by the
NAT router.
NAT Router Support
: These radio buttons allow the user to set or enable or disable NAT router
support. When enabled the node substitutes the NAT Router WAN Address as the source
address in appropriate packet headers so that other 852 nodes can respond through the NAT
Router. This enables 852 devices that are on other LANs on the WAN side of the NAT router to
correctly respond to the local eNodeIV device. It may or may not be possible to have two
eNodeIV devices on the same LAN side of a NAT Router when NAT support is enabled. Each
eNodeIV would need to have a unique 852 port number mapped by the NAT Router and the
NAT router would have to be able to support local loopback of WAN addressed packets. Select
the new value and click the
Submit Changes
button.
852 Bridging Mode
: This displays and controls the status of the 852 Bridging Router mode for
the router. These buttons only appear if the router has Bridging Router Mode support
activated on the
Status Page
. To enable or disable 852 bridging mode, select the radio button
that corresponds to the desired state,
On
for enable,
Off
for disable, and then click the
Submit
Changes
button. Finally select the
Reboot
button. A description of the configuration of
Bridging
Router Mode
is provided in a later section. The device must be rebooted before Bridging mode
takes effect.
Compatibility Mode
: This popup menu field allows the user to change the configuration server
compatibility mode. The three choices are Standard 852, i.Lon Config Server, and CoactiveLL
Config Server. Select the new value and click the “Submit Changes” button.
The router-LL config server and some versions of the i.LON config server and were developed
before the final version of the ANSI/EIA 852 specification was finalized. Consequently there are
variations in how they function.
•
Standard 852 Mode
: Select when using a fully 852 compliant configuration server.
•
Backward Compatibility Mode
: Select when using version 1.x of the i.LON configuration
server. This is required for channels with i.LON 1000 devices.
•
Coactive Router-LL (TM) ConfigServer Compatibility Mode
: Select when using the Router-LL
configuration server.
ConfigServer IP Address
: This field requires information only when the router is operating in
Normal mode (See “MODE” above). This is the unicast IP host address of the configuration
server for this channel. To change the value in the field, type in the new value in the dotted
format
XX.XX.XX.XX
and click the
Submit Change
s button.
