Allow Incoming LNS Server
Connections
Set this option to allow connections initiated
from external LNS Servers. If this option is
set, you should modify the MD5 Authentication
Key or Shared Secret to prevent access from
unauthorized LNS Servers (see Configuring
the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to
Communicate With An LNS Server).
Installing and Configuring the xDriver Software
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is designed to communicate with an LNS Server,
version 3.07 or later. LNS 3.07 contains a software component called the
xDriver. If you are an LNS 3.0 user you may upgrade to version 3.07 by
installing LNS Service Pack 7, which is available on the i.LON 10 CD and also as
a free download from www.echelon.com.
NOTE: If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME, the xDriver
can only be used to initiate downlink connections. Uplink connections can only
be established using Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. See the
LNS for Windows Programmer’s Guide, xDriver Extension for more information.
Using The LONWORKS Interfaces Control Panel Applet
Use the LONWORKS Interfaces Control Panel Applet to create Windows Registry
entries that will store the information xDriver will require to connect the LNS
server to each of your i.LON 10s. A separate entry is required for each i.LON 10
you plan to connect to the LNS server with xDriver. The default xDriver will
access the appropriate entry each time it initiates a connection to an i.LON 10,
and extract the information it needs to establish the connection.
If you are managing a large application and will be using more than 50 i.LON
10s with xDriver, you should consider using an external database management
system to store this information. Please see the LNS for Windows Programmer’s
Guide, xDriver Extension for more information on this.
The following procedure describes how to use the L
ONWORKS Interfaces Control
Panel Applet.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel and double-click the LONWORKS Interfaces
icon (
). This opens the LONWORKS Interfaces Control Panel Applet.
NOTE: This is not the same as the LONWORKS/IP Channels control panel
applet.
