Echelon i.LON 100 e2 Internet Server - Manual (Page 62)

4-20 Configuring the i.LON 100
as an RNI, reboot the i.LON 100, and re-establish
an RNI connection.
Configuring NVE Driver Properties
The NVE driver properties determine how the i.LON 100 communicates with the
network variables associated with NVE (external) data points (i.e. network
variables on other devices that have i.LON 100 data points). See the i.LON 100
User’s Guide: Configuring the i.LON 100 Applications Using the i.LON 100
Configuration Plug-in for more information on creating and configuring NVE
data points. This section contains the following properties:
NVE Transmit Timer
The time, in milliseconds, the i.LON 100 will wait
between retry attempts when sending an external
data point value. The default is 96 milliseconds.
NVE Retry Count The number of times the i.LON 100 will attempt
to send an external data point value. The default
is 3 retries.
NVE Data Point Max Age The amount of time, in seconds, before an NVE
data point is considered stale. If an NVE point
receives no updates in this amount of time, the
value will be considered invalid. Setting this
value to 0 prevents data from becoming stale. The
default for this property is 0.
Configuring LNS Uplink/Downlink
Properties
These properties determine how uplink and downlink connections are established
with the LNS Server. This section contains the following properties
Default LNS Server/
Backup LNS Server1/
Backup LNS Server2
The default and backup LNS Servers. These
fields are read-only. To set these values, you
must create a server with the LNS Uplink
service on the LAN/WAN Web page, as
described in Creating and Configuring Servers
and Configuring the LNS Uplink Service, earlier
in this chapter. Click Configure to open the
LAN/WAN Web page.
Downlink RNI Port Displays the port on which the i.LON 100 listens
for LonWorks downlink requests. Click
Configure to open the Security Web page and
set this value (see i.LON 100 Security Web Page
in Chapter 6).
Initiate LNS Uplink
When 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 100 changes. This may
resolve connectivity problems if a non-static IP
address is used.
