CEA-852 Ch. List
and click on the
Add Device

client device. Enter name and IP address and click the
Save
button as shown in Figure 12.
Client devices include all other L-IPs and all PCs, which should participate in the
communication on the IP-852 channel.
Figure 12: Add new client devices to the channel.
Verify in the channel list that the device(s) have been registered successfully and show a
green checkmark. The CNIP-LED on all L-IP devices that have one should be green and the
SERVER-LED on the configuration server L-IP should be green as well. L-IP devices with
an LCD display will show the configuration server address (or LOCAL) and a checkmark if
registered correctly at the configuration server as shown in Figure 13.

Add the L-IP router to your network drawing and commission the L-IP. Note that we
provide shapes for LonMaker. You should now be able to communicate via an IP-852
channel. For detailed instructions on how to configure the configuration server please refer
to Section 5.8 and 6.2.12.
3.4 L-IP Redundant Configuration
The L-IP Redundant can only be used as Configured Router and thus requires to be
commissioned with a network management tool (e.g. LonMaker). Smart Switch Mode,
Repeater Mode and Bridge Mode are not supported.
The L-IP Redundant comes preconfigured to support bus loop monitoring (see Figure 4).
For operating the device in twin router mode (device redundancy, see Figure 5) some
additional steps have to be performed:
Add one router shape for each L-IP Redundant. Connect both to the same IP-Channel
on one side and to the same FT-10 Channel on the other side of the router.
Add one L-IP Redundant built-in monitoring node “L-IP Redundant Diagnostic FT-10”
device shape for each L-IP Redundant on the FT-10 channel. The corresponding device
template will be installed with the L-IP Redundant Plug-In available from the LOYTEC
webpage
Add a “Twin Router” functional block for each L-IP Redundant monitoring node.
