Section 1: Setting Up and Using the i.LON 600 Internet Server
Designing a LonMaker Network Containing L
ON
W
ORKS
/IP
Channels
i.LON 600s allow you to connect an FT-10 or TP-1250 channel to a L ON W ORKS /IP
channel for transporting L ON W ORKS packets over IP. Once the L ON W ORKS /IP channel is
established (as described in the previous section), you must define the i.LON 600 devices
using the LonMaker Integration Tool.
Figure 26 shows an example of a L ON W ORKS network that contains a L ON W ORKS /IP
channel. Note that if you are running LonMaker version 3.0 or higher, your LonMaker
PC can be a part of the L
ON W ORKS /IP channel by connecting it to the Ethernet rather
than an FT-10 channel.

The following example illustrates how to create the L ON W ORKS network described in
Figure 26 using the LonMaker Integration Tool. Figure 27 shows the LonMaker drawing
created in this example. For more information, see the LonMaker User's Guide. To create
a LonMaker network which uses i.LON 600s, follow these steps:
1. With the Configuration Server running, create a new LonMaker
network. Change the name of Channel 1 to FT-10 Channel 1 and
assign TP/FT-10 as the transceiver type in the Channel's properties.
