Echelon LonBridg Server - Manual (Page 18)

12 Configuring the LonBridge Server
The element defines the configuration, and is the top-most element
within the config.xml file.
The element is required if any of the other child elements are
included, and only one element is allowed per configuration file.
The element specifies whether the service for the LonBridge
Server starts automatically when the operating system starts. Valid values
are true and false. The default value is true, which enables autostart.
This element applies only to the Windows platform.
The element specifies the name of the network interface that the
LonBridge Server uses to communicate with the L ON W ORKS network. The
LonBridge Server uses LON1 as the default L ON W ORKS network interface.
This element applies only to the Windows platform.
For Linux platforms, the LonBridge Server uses a serial device name (such as
/dev/ttyS0) rather than a L
ON W ORKS network interface.
The element specifies the IP address for the LonBridge Server. By
default, the LonBridge Server uses the default IP address (0.0.0.0). This
default address enables the server to listen for IP connections on all IP
addresses for the server’s host computer.
If you specify a specific address (rather than the default), all LonBridge
remote clients must use the same address to communicate with the
LonBridge Server. However, if you specify the default address or 0.0.0.0,
remote clients can use any valid address for the host computer that is
running the LonBridge Server. Local clients can use the 127.0.0.1 loop-back
address.
The element specifies the number of seconds between polls for
L
ON W ORKS network variables. The LonBridge Server periodically polls the
network variables that are defined within the network. Valid values are
between 0 and 60. By default, the LonBridge Server uses a polling interval of
10 seconds.
Example: If the polling interval is 5 seconds per poll and there are 20
network variables to be polled, one network variable will be polled every 5
seconds, and it will take 100 seconds to poll all 20 network variables.
