Server is not set. By default, this value is

.

Primary/Secondary DNS

Server

The primary and secondary DNS Servers

used to resolve LNS Server names if Obtain

IP address from DHCP Server is not set.

If DNS servers are specified both here and by
the DHCP server, the DNS server specified

by DHCP will be used.

LNS Server 1/2/3

Up to three LNS Server names or IP
addresses in the form Address>:

or

Name>:

(for example, you can specify

123.2.34.1:1628

or

mylns.echelon.com:1628

). The i.LON 10

Ethernet Adapter will attempt to send packets

to the first server on the list. If that server

does not respond, it will try the second server,
then the third. LNS Servers can be specified

by DNS name. If DNS names are used, a

DNS server must be listed in
Primary/Secondary DNS Server or be

available through the local network’s DHCP
server. Each Server name can be up to 63

characters long.

Listen for Incoming LNS

Server Connection on Port

The TCP port on which the i.LON 10

Ethernet Adapter receives packets

(L

ON

W

ORKS

messages). Defaults to 1628. It

is not recommended that the port number be

set below 1025, as ports 0 through 1024 are

normally reserved.
Note that to receive incoming LNS
connections, the Listen for Incoming LNS

Connections option on the Security Web
page must be checked (this option is cleared

by default).

Initiate Session when an

NV/Explicit Message of the

Following Types Destined
for the LNS Host is

Received

Specify under what conditions the i.LON 10

Ethernet Adapter will initiate an uplink

connection to the LNS host. By default, all of
these checkboxes are cleared (i.e. an update

will never initiate a connection to the host).
Use these options to limit the sorts of

network variable updates or explicit

messages that will initiate a session.

Notify xDriver Each Time

IP Address Changes

This option is not supported for LNS 3,

Service Pack 8, Update 1, and earlier.
Set this option to notify the xDriver when the
IP address of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter

changes. This may resolve connectivity

problems if a non-static IP address is used.
