    Internet access to the everyday devices in your world – lights, appliances, switches, thermostats, motors, meters, and valves. The i.LON 1000 puts you in control – letting you monitor, adjust, and reconfigure devices as needed, from wherever you might be.
  • Page 9 ORKS process control, building automation, utility, transportation, and telecommunications applications. Cisco certification is your assurance that the i.LON 1000 has been both rigorously tested and will meet the needs and standards of information technology (IT) managers worldwide. Adherence to the EIA-proposed standard for tunneling ANSI/EIA 709.1 packets over IP ensures that communications through the i.LON 1000 are both...
  • Page 10 1000 is fully supported by tools using Echelon's LNS™ network operating system, which provides quick setup, configuration, and application-level interoperability. From the perspective of the IT network, the i.LON 1000 is viewed as a typical IP host. Like other IP hosts, the i.LON 1000 supports standard internetworking protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, SNMP (MIB II), ICMP, SNTP, TOS, MD5, HTTP, and FTP.

    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.
  • Page 14 Connect to the i.LON 1000 console application using Hyperterminal. a) Using the null-modem cable (not pictured in the above diagrams) that shipped with the i.LON 1000, connect an available COM port on your PC to the i.LON 1000 console port. Be sure that a modem driver, palm organizer driver, or other serial device is not already using the COM port you choose on your PC.
  • Page 15 Initialize the i.LON 1000’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. a) Press the PC’s Enter key twice. The i.LON 1000 console application should respond with the ILON> prompt. b) Type show at the ILON> prompt and press the PC’s Enter key. The i.LON 1000 should respond with a display of its current settings.
  • Page 16 Once the i.LON 1000 reboots, type show at the i.LON 1000 command prompt to verify that the changes were accepted and that there are no typographical errors. Type help at the i.LON 1000’s command prompt at any time for a list of available commands. i.LON 1000 Internet Serve Starter Kit...
  • Page 17 Note: This is a good time to test TCP/IP communication between the PC and the i.LON 1000 by pinging the i.LON 1000 from the PC, and by pinging the PC from the i.LON 1000. Open the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and choose the MS-DOS Prompt to open a DOS box.
  • Page 18 “iLON1” and select the Commission Device checkbox. Click Next. d) The next window asks you where the LonMaker tool should find information about the i.LON 1000 device. Because the i.LON 1000 adheres to the guidelines, it is not necessary to maintain a separate external interface file (XIF) describing it.
  • Page 19 The LonMaker tool allows you to select which channel the i.LON 1000 will be connected to. Our example network has only a single channel, the TP/FT-10 channel (named Channel 1), which the LonMaker tool automatically selects for the i.LON 1000. Click Next to accept the selection.
  • Page 20 Click Next to use the service pin method of device identification. This is the easiest way to get an i.LON 1000 Neuron ID into the LonMaker tool if the LonMaker PC is actually attached to the L network, like it is in ORKS this example.
  • Page 21 The LonMaker prompts you to press the service pin on the i.LON 1000. Using a ballpoint pen or similar object, press the recessed button marked “Service” on the back of the i.LON 1000. This causes the i.LON 1000 to send a service pin message on the L network.
  • Page 22 The next step is to connect input and output network variables representing the points to display in your web page to the i.LON 1000. Recall the HMI application example in Chapter 3 of Getting Started with the L ORKS System Starter Kit. In that example, an HMI application was created that monitored 4 points.

  • Page 24 You must now add the network variables for the functional block. A powerful feature of using the LonMaker tools and i.LON 1000 together is the ability to define the network variables dynamically. In this way, you can optimize the use of network variables on the i.LON 1000 and select the exact network variable type for...
  • Page 25 This name must be exactly the same as the name referenced in the i.LON 1000 web page to be created later. Names are case sensitive. e) The Select Object dialog allows you to navigate the LNS object hierarchy to the point you want to monitor.
  • Page 26 Click OK. This instructs the LonMaker tool to create a network variable on the i.LON 1000 that is a complement to the A/AI- 1/Temperature Sensor/Analog network variable. See the LonMaker for Windows Integration Tool User’s Guide for more information on dynamic network variable creation and complement network variables.

    (http://www.vandyke.com), or even the command line FTP client that ships with Windows, transfer demo1page1.htm and demo1page2.htm to the i.LON 1000. Place the files in the /Web/forms directory. Note that i.LON 1000 file and directory names are case sensitive. See your TCP/IP system administrator for help using FTP if you are not familiar with transferring files in a TCP/IP network.

  • Page 31: Viewing The Web Pages In A Browser

    Be sure to substitute your i.LON 1000’s IP address and to use the proper case; i.LON 1000 file names are case sensitive. Note that you do not need to include the “Web” directory in the URL. “Web” is implied because the browser makes an HTTP request.

    The breadth of the technology requires that tools such as LonMaker for Windows and the i.LON 1000 Internet Server provide multiple options for getting things done. If you followed the steps in Chapters 2 and 3, but did not end up with the results you expected, you may have inadvertently mistyped.

  • Page 39 Exit the LonMaker tool. When prompted, select Yes to save your changes. Ask your TCP/IP system administrator to help you verify that the files you transferred via FTP to the i.LON 1000 were transferred, and are now located in the correct directories. Remember that resetting the i.LON 1000 back-to-factory defaults did not delete any files that you may have already transferred to the i.LON 1000.
