Echelon LonWorks Router - Manual (Page 68)

Using Predefined Transceivers
The RTR-10 router includes built-in transceiver parameters for the transceivers
listed in Table 7. When using any of these transceivers, the communications
parameters are automatically programmed, as described in Chapter 2,
LONWORKS Router Electrical Interfaces.
The user's guide for each transceiver contains documentation on the interface
requirements. You also must set the transceiver ID input for each side of the
RTR-10..
Using Custom Transceivers
The RTR-10 router can be used with transceivers not listed in the table on page
25, but the communications parameters must be reprogrammed to match the
custom transceiver. If one side of the router is a predefined transceiver type, this
reprogramming can occur during manufacturing or during field installation. The
first four steps of the following procedure describe how the custom
communications parameters are programmed for one side. If both sides of the
custom router will be custom transceiver types, additional configuration steps
will be required, as described in steps 5 to 10.
1. Assuming that the predefined transceiver is Side A, attach a transceiver
matching one of the predefined types to Side A of the RTR-10 and select the
matching transceiver ID for Side A.
2. Select the custom transceiver type (ID 30, 0x1E) for Side B of the RTR-10
router.
3. Attach a network management tool, such as OpenLNS CT, with a compatible
predefined transceiver to Channel A as shown in Figure 28.

4. Configure the communications parameters on Side B of the RTR-10 router
using the network management tool. Side A might be automatically
reconfigured at the same time, depending on the network management tool.
Installation procedures for the OpenLNS CT are described in Chapter 6,
Installing a LONWORKS Router.
