7.2.6 Using Neuron ID to Address Devices (Client Drivers only)
It is possible to poll remote LonWorks devices using their Neuron ID's instead of the traditional Network Manager method. The Neuron ID is the 12 Digit Hex
identifier of the associated LonWorks Device. An example configuration follows.
Note that Neuron ID addressing is considered explicit addressing so the station address, domain ID and subnet ID must be set as described in Section 7.1.4
Neuron ID addressing is independent of domains, subnet, nodes and can therefore reach any device connected to the LonWorks network. The FieldServer
needs to be commissioned with a Network Management tool for the routers to know it's there, and then neuron based packets will be passed through the
router.
