OPERATION All Frontier transmitters send input signals at speciﬁc intervals (typically 30 or 60 seconds) and are received by the Model RUT-G directly or through Frontier Model RR repeaters. They are then translated into the protocol desired, de- pending on the plug-in key card selected.
Page 5: Speciﬁcations
LON devices easy without special SNVT conversion. RS232, RS485 All Frontier points are represented with a transmitter module address ID and point number (1-4); four points per trans- mitter ID. The number of total points is limited by the transmitter interval time calculation shown below.
Page 6 POINT SET-UP CONFIGURATION LON point mapping and SNVT selection are done through a Frontier LNS plug-in. Each Frontier transmitter address and point number is mapped to one of 40 NVOs or NVIs per protocol key and selectable SNVTs. An XIF ﬁle and LNS plug-in is included with each LON key.
Page 7 INSTALLING A CONTROL MODULE LON KEY Each LON-KEY-◊ control module can support up to 40 network variables (NVs). The Frontier Gateway can support up to three control modules for 120 NVs. As the application expands, control modules can be ﬁeld-installed to meet the demand.

Conﬁguration Properties (CPs). It is for this reason that the Kele Gateway LNS plug-in was developed. The built-in support for the Ethernet web server will only allow changes to the CPs that affect the Frontier radios, and cannot access the LON-KEY-◊ side of the device. The web server will not support changeable SNVT types or SNVT format- ting.
Page 22 Frontier transmitter ID number, the transmitter or receiver’s point number on a Frontier unit, and the facility code. Transmitter ID can range from 1 to 65,000. A Frontier ﬁeld receiver has no Tx ID but is programmed with a Tx ID ref- erence in order for it to respond to its related transmitters.
Page 23: Installing The Kele Lns Plug-In Software And Lon Support Files
LON INTERFACE KEY INSTALLING THE KELE LNS PLUG-IN SOFTWARE AND LON SUPPORT FILES The supplied Kele Frontier Plug-in CD contains the plug-in and all support ﬁles for the Frontier Gateway. The follow- ing directories and ﬁles will be created: The Kele web site, at www.kele.com, has the latest versions of all required support ﬁles including the latest copy of this CD.
Page 24 DE-REGISTERING THE FRONTIER PLUG-IN If the Frontier Plug-in is no longer needed on the installed computer, it is very important to de-register the plug-in from the Windows registry before removing the ﬁle from the computer. If this is not done, a warning message may be displayed each time the network management tool is started.
Page 25: User Resource Files
Resource ﬁles for the Conﬁguration Properties (CPs) are located in the plug-in directory under "Types." By default, this is "C:\Program Files\Frontier Plug-in\Types". The resource ﬁles have been created for use with LNS-based sys- tems and may not be compatible with all LON-based systems. In factory preprogrammed units, they may not be re- quired.

Page 27: Entering Data On Plug-In Screens
LON INTERFACE KEY ENTERING DATA ON PLUG-IN SCREENS To enter data into a Plug-in screen: 1. Select the screen (NVI, NVO, etc.) to which the desired changes are to be made. 2. To change a value, click on the value window. 3.
Page 28 Figure 10 The NVI screen (Figure 10) is used to transmit the network variables to a Frontier ﬁeld receiver point. All NVI screens set up the Frontier Gateway as a transmitter for Frontier ﬁeld receivers (RO-4, RDO-2, etc.). The values on this screen must match the values in the ﬁeld receiver.
Page 29 4. 3. Transmit Time Interval. A value of "30" has been entered. If the Frontier Gateway has not received an updated value from the network within this time period of 30 seconds, the Gateway will re-transmit the last known val- 4.
Page 30 Once the "Download" button is clicked, the Frontier Gateway will conﬁgure itself to use the new values for the Frontier ﬁeld devices. At this time, the "Download" button will disappear (Figure 13). Note also that the log window continues in data ﬂow.
Page 31 The NVO screen (Figure 14A) is used for output network variables (outputs to the network). The NV value is received by the Frontier Gateway from a Frontier ﬁeld transmitter. The values entered on this screen must be related to the programmed targeted ﬁeld transmitter.
Page 32 5. Transmitter Low Value Limit. This value is "5," which is what the Frontier Gateway expects to see as its low- est value from the Frontier ﬁeld transmitter. Refer to Table 2 for more information on limits.
Page 33 LON INTERFACE KEY NVO SCREEN (CONTINUED) The Facility Code screen (Figure 15) is used to enter the Frontier facility code for the complete Frontier system. This code is global to all Frontier transmitters, receivers, repeaters, and the Gateway. All Frontier transmitters, receivers, repeaters, and the Gateway must have the same facility code or communication between devices will not take place.
Page 34: Status Screen Displayed Information
(always 0.0) Figure 17 1. nviRequest: This is an NVI that allows the user to send a request to the selected Frontier Gateway NV. Refer to the user’s network manager documentation for information on this SNVT. Caution: Do not change the "nviRequest" unless user has experience with this particular SNVT. Doing so may disable, decommission, or set other conditions undesirable to the Gateway’s operation.
Page 35 NVI[x] SETUP REQUIRED. This is an NVI without a Frontier Tx ID. The indicated NVI will not be operational but will not affect any other NVIs.This is a common status if some Frontier NVs are not used (not set up).
Page 36: Lonmark Status Display
The nvoStatus displays the object’s condition as ones and zeros with a "1" being active. No identifying text is included. The Kele Frontier LNS Plug-in aids in the language, deciphering objects, and of the ones and zeros of the nvoStatus as shown below.
Page 37: Changing Snvt Types And Formats
The Frontier Gateway supports changeable SNVT types. Not all types are acceptable. Only those SNVT types shown in the "Select SNVT Type" window are supported by the Frontier Gateway. Refer to Table 1 for a listing of the supported SNVT types. With the exception of the SNVT switch, no structured-type SNVTs are supported. SNVTs with a byte length of one to four bytes are used (character, integer, and ﬂoat).
Page 38 If no selection is made, the default format will be used (typically the second format listed). Like the SNVT type selection, the format is not active at this time. Current SNVT Type: This ﬁeld displays the current (active) SNVT type being used by the Frontier Gateway for the displayed NV.
Page 39: Help Screens
LON INTERFACE KEY CHANGING SNVT TYPES AND FORMATS (CONTINUED) After clicking the "Apply" button the type and format is programmed into the node. In addition, the log window is up- dated to display the changes (Figure 21). Figure 21 HELP SCREENS Help screens are available for each type of screen: NVI, NVO, Facility Code, Status, and SNVT Type.
Page 40: Nv Monitor Screen
NV MONITOR SCREEN The NV (Network Variable) screen displays all of the node’s NV values at one time. The related Frontier radio ID and point number are also displayed to aid in identifying the NV. This screen is for monitoring only. Editing of values is not allowed.
