Introduction to the
i .LON 1000
Internet Server
The
i
.LON 1000 Internet Server is a breakthrough product that provides reliable, secure
Internet access to the everyday devices in your world – lights, appliances, switches,
thermostats, motors, meters, and valves. The
i
.LON 1000 puts you in control – letting
you monitor, adjust, and reconfigure devices as needed, from wherever you might be.
L ON W ORKS control networks are the worldwide standard for networking controls and
machines in building, industrial, home, transportation, and utility automation
applications. Internet Protocol (IP) based data networking is the worldwide standard for
moving data over the Internet, local area networks (LANs), and wide area networks
(WANs). The
i
.LON 1000 Internet Server seamlessly links together these control and
data networking standards.
While IP-based data networks are poorly suited to the tasks performed by a control
network, they complement L
ON W ORKS control networks by offering high speed, wide
area networking over which L ON W ORKS data can be sent and received. By providing a
robust, high performance interface between L ON W ORKS and IP-based networks, the
i
.LON 1000 allows users to leverage the unique strengths of both control and data
networks.
