i. LON 100 Internet Server Programmer’s Reference 12-3
XML Configuration File
The SOAP interface for the Type Translator application includes four functions. Table 60
lists and describes these functions. For more information on any of these functions, see the
sections following Table 60.
12.2 Creating and Modifying the TypeTranslator.XML File
You can create and modify the TypeTranslator.XML file with the TypeTranslatorSet SOAP
function. The following section, Type Translator SOAP Interface, describes how to use
TypeTranslatorSet and the other SOAP functions provided for the Type Translator
application.
Alternatively, you can create and modify the .XML file manually with an XML editor, and
download it to the i. LON 100 via FTP. Echelon does not recommend this, as the i. LON 100
will require a reboot to read the configuration of the downloaded file. Additionally, the i. LON
100 performs error checking on all SOAP messages it receives before writing to the XML file.
It will not perform error checking on any XML files you download via FTP, and thus the
application may not boot properly.
If you plan to create the XML file manually, you should review the rest of this chapter first,
as it describes the elements and properties in the XML file that define each Type Translator.
For instructions on creating or modifying an XML file manually, see Manually Modifying an
on page 15-1.
