Network Interfaces
Network interface selection is usually completed during the network design
process. A network interface allows a computer to connect to a physical channel.
Computer to Network interface adapters must have transceivers that are
compatible with the physical channel to which they are attached.
Table 10 describes the network interfaces available from the Echelon Corporation.

Network Interface Description
U10/U20 USB Network
Interfaces
The U10 and U20 USB Network Interfaces are high-performance
L
ONWORKS interfaces for USB-enabled computers and controllers.
The U10 USB Network Interface connects directly to a TP/FT-10
Free Topology Twisted Pair (ANSI/CEA-709.3) L
ONWORKS channel
through a removable connector and is fully compatible with link
powered channels.
The U20 USB Network Interface connects to a PL-20 C-Band Power
Line (ANSI/CEA-709.2) L
ONWORKS channel through a plug-in
coupling circuit/power supply (included).

LonTalk Adapter
The PCC-10 PC Card LonTalk Adapter is a high-performance
L
ONWORKS interface for laptop, handheld computer, and embedded
applications equipped with a Type II PC Card (PCMCIA) interface
and a compatible operating system.
PCLTA-21 PCI LonTalk
Adapter
The PCLTA-21 PCI LonTalk Adapter is a high-performance
LONWORKS interface for computers equipped with a 3.3 V or 5 V
32-bit Personal Component Interconnect (PCI) interface and a
compatible operating system.
i.LON 10 Ethernet
Adapter
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is an interface that connects
LONWORKS based devices to the Internet, a LAN, or a WAN. As an
option, this adapter can be used with a modem for dial-up
connectivity.
i.LON 100 e.3 Internet
Server
The i.LON 100 e.3 Internet Server bridges L
ONWORKS networks and
can be used as an interface that connects L
ONWORKS based devices
to the Internet, a LAN, or a WAN. As an option, this adapter can be
used with a modem for dial-up connectivity.
i.LON 600 L
ONWORKS/IP
Server
The i.LON 600 LONWORKS/IP Server is an EIA-852 compliant device
that allows LonTalk to IP communication and provides reliable and
secure access to devices. The i.LON Configuration Server Utility and
the L
ONWORKS/IP Channels control panel application are needed if
using IP channel.
