i.LON 1000 Internet Server Starter Kit

Hardware Step-by-Step Installation
1 Verify that the PC is connected to the LONWORKS network and that you can
run LonMaker for Windows and the HMI examples as documented in Chapter 3
of Getting Started with the LONWORKS System Starter Kit.
2 Verify that TCP/IP networking is installed and running on the PC. (See your
network administrator or the Windows TCP/IP networking documentation for
information on setting up Windows TCP/IP networking.)
3 Connect both the PC and the i.LON 1000 to the 10BaseT hub using standard
10BaseT cables. (One such cable is provided with the i.LON 1000.) Figure 2.2,
above, shows just the PC and i.LON 1000 connected to the hub. For the
examples described in this document, an isolated TCP/IP network is
recommended. This avoids conflicts with the existing TCP/IP infrastructure at
your location. See your TCP/IP network administrator for more information.
4 Connect the i.LON 1000 to the LONWORKS network using a short length of
twisted pair cable. The cable should be either cat 5 wire or Level 4 wire as
described in the Junction Box and Wiring Guidelines for Twisted Pair
LONWORKS Networks.

5 Strip approximately 4mm of insulation away from the ends of the wire; attach
one end of the twisted pair to the orange Weidmuller connector included with
the i.LON 1000 and the other end to terminal 3 & 4 of the right-most LonPoint
module on your DIN rail, as pictured in figure 2.2.
6 Power ON all devices.
Your network should now look similar to the network pictured in figure 2.2.
