5. Rotary address switches set for the translator’s unique slave address.
6. Proper connection wiring.
7. BAS reading or writing to the proper network point addresses in the translator - download the latest
points list for the translator to verify.
8. BAS is sending requests to the proper slave address of the translator.
See SECTION 19 for the N2 Protocol Conformance Statement
14.6 LONWORKS
Verify BAS and translator settings:
1. Both set to speak LonWorks protocol.
• Comm Selector DIP Switches 3, 4, 5, and 6
• By getting a Modstat of the translator through the BACview. Hit the “FN” key and the ’.’ key at the
same time. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the section entitled “Network Communications”
to view the active protocol and baud rate.
2. Both set for 9600 baud rate.
• Comm Selector DIP Switches 1 and 2
• Verify via the BACview by obtaining a Modstat
3. Configure BAS to speak 2—wire EIA--485 to the SLTA or LonWorks Plug-in.
4. Proper connection wiring.
5. BAS reading or writing to the proper network point addresses in the translator - download the latest
points list for the translator to verify.
6. BAS is sending requests to the proper slave address of the translator from the SLTA-10 or LonWorks
Plug-in card.

14.7 COMMISSIONING THE XPC FOR LONWORKS
Before a device can participate on a LonWorks network, it must be commissioned. Commissioning allows
the system integrator to associate the device hardware with the LonWorks system’s network layout
diagram. This is done using the device’s unique Neuron ID. Together, the XPC and its LonWorks Option
Card serve as a single LonWorks device or node. The LonWorks Option Card’s internal Neuron chip
provides a unique Neuron ID.
A network management tool such as Echelon’s LonMaker is used to commission each device, as well as,
to assign addressing. Specific instructions regarding the commissioning of LonWorks devices should be
obtained from documentation supplied with the LonWorks network management tool.
