4. Network Integration and Management
4.1. Manual Mode Example
Configuring in Manual Mode
This section contains step-by-step instructions on configuring two eNodeIV devices to tunnel
709.1 packets over IP between each other. This will create an IP backbone for a 709.1 network.
Using the web configuration pages, set up IP addresses, subnet masks, and IP gateway
addresses for the two routers. Connect the routers to the same IP network. Using a PC
attached to the network, verify that the routers can be pinged. Consult with the
network administrator to procure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address, if
not already known.
Set both routers to manual mode. This is done on the Router Setup Page.
Add each router’s IP address and communications port number (the default port is
1628) into the other router’s channel list. Set the addressing type to unicast or multicast
in the channel details menu. This is done on the Channel List Page.
Once steps 1–3 have been completed, the routers will be able to communicate with
each other over the IP network. This can be verified by pressing the service pin on one
of the routers and checking the Diagnostics Page on the other router for packets
received. The fields “Data Packets Received” and “IP Packets Received” should increase
with each service pin.
For the routers to tunnel traffic, the 709.1 interfaces must be set up. This can be done
on the 709 Setup Page or with a network management tool such as LonMaker. Refer to
the management tool's documentation on commissioning routers. For example, the
