PC Software Requirements
The following are minimum requirements:
• Microsoft Windows XP or 32-bit version of Windows 7, Windows Vista ® ,
or Windows Server 2008
• OpenLDV 3.3C or later
• Appropriate Echelon network interface driver (if you are using an SLTA-
10 or LTS-20)
• Windows TCP/IP software (if you are using an i.LON 10, i.LON 100,
i.LON 600, or SmartServer network interface)
Installing the NodeUtil Node Utility
Before you install the NodeUtil Node Utility, perform the following tasks:
1. Install version 3.3C or later of the OpenLDV network driver, if you do not
already have it. You can download the latest OpenLDV network driver
from
www.echelon.com/openldv .
2. If you are using an Echelon network interface that needs a driver in
addition to the OpenLDV driver, verify that the appropriate driver is
installed. The ReadMe file for the OpenLDV network driver lists the
network interfaces that require separate drivers.
3. Configure your network interface driver, if required. See the
documentation for your selected network interface for details.
4. Install the StdXcvr.xml file, if you do not already have it. This file is
automatically installed by many Echelon applications, such as the
LonMaker Integration Tool, the NodeBuilder
® FX Development Tool, the
NodeBuilder Resource Editor, the ShortStack FX Developer’s Kit, and the
FTXL™ Developer’s Kit. The StdXcvr.xml file is installed to your
L
ON W ORKS Types folder (C:\LonWorks\Types or C:\Program
Files\LonWorks\Types by default; you might have changed the location
of your L
ON W ORKS folder when you installed your first L ON W ORKS tool).
If you do not have a StdXcvr.xml file in your L ON W ORKS Types directory,
you can download the file from the Design Guidelines page at
www.lonmark.org .
You can download the NodeUtil Node Utility from Echelon’s Downloads Web
page:
www.echelon.com/downloads .
To install the NodeUtil Node Utility, perform the following tasks:
1. Download the 153-0222-01A_NodeUtil xxx .zip file, where xxx represents
the current version of the utility, such as 221 for version 2.21.
2. Unzip the contents of the file to a folder on your PC. For example, you
can create a NodeUtil folder in your L ON W ORKS folder, and unzip the
NodeUtil Node Utility to this new folder. You run the NodeUtil.exe
program from this folder. If you have installed other Echelon tools, you
can unzip the NodeUtil Node Utility to your L
ON W ORKS Bin folder. The
installation programs for many Echelon tools add the L ON W ORKS Bin
