    In addition to the Plug & Play switch mode the L-Switch XP can be operated as a standard configured CEA-709 router. In this operating mode the L-Switch XP is compatible to any standard CEA-709 router and must be commissioned using LonMaker or some other network management tool for CEA-709 networks.

    (see Chapter 3). Important: All used and unused ports must be properly terminated. LOYTEC recommends the use of the LOYTEC L-Term series network terminators (LT-13 or LT-33 respectively). For unused ports, it is recommended to use a 100 Ohm 0.25 W resistor between terminals A and B as termination.

  • Page 19: Tp-1250

    The TP-1250 uses transformers for galvanic isolation. The topology of a TP-1250 network is a bus. Thus, both ends of the bus cable need to be terminated. LOYTEC recommends using its L-TERM network terminators for network termination (LT-13). Figure 8 shows an example.

  • Page 20: Ft-10

    These terminations need to be placed at each end of the bus. LOYTEC recommends using its L-TERM network terminators (LT-13, LT-33 or LT-03) for network termination (see Figure 9). Figure 9: FT-10 Network Termination.
  • Page 21 RS-485 can only be used in a bus configuration and must be terminated on both ends. The maximum stub length between the main bus and a single node is 0.3 m. LOYTEC recommends using its L-TERM network terminators (LT-04 or LT-B4) for network termination (see Figure 10).

  • Page 22: Operating Modes

    4.1.1 Smart Switch Mode The L-Switch XP can be configured to act as a self-learning switch in an CEA-709 network. In this operation mode the L-Switch XP decides based on the destination address of a message, to which port(s) the message has to be forwarded or whether it has to be forwarded at all.

    (e.g. LonMaker): configured router, learning router, bridge and repeater. Since the learning algorithm in the smart switch operating mode (see Section 4.1.1) is superior to the learning router mode of a standard CEA-709 router, the learning router mode is not supported by the L-Switch XP.

    For a deeper analysis of the reason of the overload condition it is recommended to use a protocol analyzer (e.g. LOYTEC’s LPA) or a similar tool. The exact reason of the overload condition can also be determined with the LSD Tool (see Section 9).

    L-Switch User Manual LOYTEC 6 The L-Switch XP in a Network The L-Switch XP is based on LOYTEC’s powerful L-Core and L-Chip technology. It is designed to be very robust and reliable in high bandwidth applications. 6.1 L-Switch XP as Smart Switch In this operation mode the L-Switch XP behaves completely transparent in a network.

  • Page 34: L-Switch Xp As Configured Cea-709 Router

    LOYTEC 6.2 L-Switch XP as Configured CEA-709 Router The L-Switch XP is designed to be compatible with standard CEA-709 routers, if operated as configured CEA-709 router. Thus, it requires commissioning via a network management tool (e.g. LonMaker) like any standard CEA-709 router to be fully functional.

  • Page 35: Updating The L-Switch Xp Firmware

    To download the firmware via the console the L-Switch XP must be connected to the RS-232 port of a PC via its console interface as described in Section 5.3. You will need the LOYTEC serial upgrade tool (LSU Tool), which can be downloaded from our homepage at www.loytec.com.

  • Page 37: Troubleshooting

    If this does not solve your problem use a protocol analyzer (e.g. LOYTEC’s LPA) and/or a network diagnostics tool (e.g. LOYTEC’s LSD Tool or Echelon’s Nodeutil) to find the source of the problem.

    Solution If this problem occurs because a firmware update was attempted (and failed somehow), simply retry downloading the new firmware image. If no firmware update was attempted, please contact LOYTEC support (see Section 8.6). 8.4 LonMaker cannot commission node Problem When adding a new node to a LonMaker project, LonMaker receives the service ping message from that node, but is unable to commission it.
