What’s New in L-IP
2.1 New in L-IP 6.1.0
This section describes the major changes and new features. For a full list of changes refer to
the Readme file.
New L-IP Models
The new L-IP models with their product code ending in “C” are now supported. Equipped
with dual Ethernet, a built-in firewall and LCD display, these new models serve as a plug-in
replacement for the older series “B” devices. Existing device backups can be used without
modification. In addition, the new models also support the wireless LAN technology.
Project Documentation
A new feature on the device is a Web UI for creating and viewing project documentation on
the device. The documentation editor requires admin rights and allows storing files on the
device or creating documentation links as URLs. Both items can be viewed by guest users.
Examples include storing cabling plans as PDF or adding links to a Web site containing
manuals, plans or other useful project documentation. Read Section 6.2.17 to learn more
about project documentation on the device.
Dual-Ethernet with Separate Networks
Series “C” L-IP models with two Ethernet interfaces can be configured to work with
separate and isolated IP networks. For example, one Ethernet interface can be accessed over
HTTPS from a WAN connected to Ethernet 2 while the building network services are
running locally on the LAN connected to Ethernet 1. For configuration the device provides
separate Ethernet tabs in the port configuration, which allow selecting the offered services
on each interface. The example in Figure 3 shows a WAN interface with HTTPS and OPC
UA only, while CEA-709 over IP (CEA-852) are still bound to Ethernet 1 (LAN). For more
information on how to use multiple Ethernet ports please refer to Section 6.2.5.
