Creating a LONWORKS/IP Channel
Creating a LONWORKS/IP channel involves configuring each LONWORKS/IP device that
will be on the channel and informing the Configuration Server of all L
ONWORKS/IP
devices on the channel. A L
ONWORKS/IP device can be an i.LON 600 or a PC running
LNS 3.0 or better. To create a L
ONWORKS/IP channel, follow these steps:
1. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for all i.LON 600s
using the i.LON web interface, as described in Chapter 4.
2. Ensure that the Configuration Server PC can communicate with each i.LON
600 or the LNS 3.0 PC.
3. If the L
ONWORKS/IP channel will contain only i.LON 600 devices, skip to
Step 7. If the LONWORKS/IP channel will contain one or more PCs running
LNS 3.0 or later, select Start/Settings/Control Panel on your PC and run the
LONWORKS/IP Channels control panel. This control panel appears in Figure
48.
