Network Interfaces Overview
You can use any of the following Echelon network interfaces with the
LonScanner FX Protocol Analyzer:
U10 USB Network Interface
and
U20 USB Network Interface
—
L
ON
W
ORKS
network interfaces for any computer with a USB interface,
which includes most desktop, laptop, and embedded computers. These
network interfaces are ideal for use in applications that require a
computer to monitor, manage, or diagnose a network. The interfaces
feature support for TP/FT-10 channels (the U10) or PL-20 channels (the
U20), and provide simple plug-and-play installation. See the
LonWorks
USB Network Interface User's Guide
(078-0296-01B) for more
information about the USB network interfaces.
PCLTA-20/SMX PCI Network Interface
and
PCLTA-21 PCI Network
Interface
— L
ON
W
ORKS
network interfaces for desktop and embedded
personal computers equipped with a 3V (PCLTA-21) or 5V (both PCLTA-
20 and PCLTA-21) 32-bit PCI interface. These network interfaces are
ideal for use in applications that require a desktop or embedded computer
to monitor, manage, or diagnose a network. There are four versions of
the PCLTA-21 card that include an onboard transceiver (TP/FT-10,
TP/XF-78, TP/XF-1250, or TP-RS485), and one version of the PCLTA-20
card that accepts a standard modular transceiver (SMX) which can be
used with any media type for which an SMX transceiver exists. Before
using either a PCLTA-20 or a PCLTA-21 with the protocol analyzer, you
must configure it to operate as a layer-2 network interface. For
instructions, see
on page 61.
PCC-10 PC Card
— L
ON
W
ORKS
network interface for any computer
equipped with a type II PC card (formerly PCMCIA) interface, which
includes most laptop computers. Includes an integral TP/FT-10
transceiver for use with TP/FT-10 channels. Other transceiver types can
be connected to the PCC-10 through external transceiver pods. Before
using a PCC-10 with the protocol analyzer, you must configure it to
operate as a layer-2 network interface. For instructions, see
on page 61.
i.LON SmartServer
— Controller, Web server, and L
ON
W
ORKS
remote
network interface (RNI) that can be accessed through an Ethernet or
dial-up IP connection, with optional IP-852 routing support. This
network interface is ideal for use in applications requiring remote access
via a LAN or the Internet and allows you to remotely monitor a network
with the LonScanner tool. The LonScanner tool can either be used with
the remote network interface (RNI) capability of the
i
.LON products, or
with an IP-852 channel created using the optional IP-852 routing of the
i
.LON products. LonScanner IP-852 support requires an LNS Turbo
Server. The LonScanner tool is also compatible with the original
i
.LON
SmartServer and all versions of the
i
.LON 100 Internet Servers. See the
i.LON SmartServer 2.0 User's Guide
(078-0345-01E) for more
information about the
i.
LON SmartServer, including how to configure it
as an RNI or an IP-852 router. If you are using an earlier version of the
i
.LON product, see the user’s guide for the version that you are using.
