Installing Networks

To acquire the Neuron IDs and finish installing the devices, follow these steps:

1. Select any of the following service pin options

Options

Display Data
from Service Pin

Select this check box to display a dialog that contains the information
returned in the service pin message. This check box is cleared by
default.

Filter on
Program ID

Select this check box to ignore service pin messages that do not include
the same program ID as the device being commissioned. This option is
selected by default. This option is cleared if the application image will
be loaded during commissioning.

Filter on Channel

Select this check box to ignore service pin messages that do not
originate from the same channel as the device being installed. This
check box is cleared by default.

On networks that use repeaters, the LonMaker tool cannot always
determine the source channel of the service pin message. For these
networks, it may be necessary to clear this checkbox in order to
commission the device.

The default value for this check box is set in the network properties:
Service Pin options category.

Total Received

Indicates the total number of service pin messages received by the
LonMaker tool (including those ignored due to mismatched program
ID or channel).

If this number is incrementing when you press the service pin, but
LonMaker is ignoring the service pin message, clear both filter
options and select the Display Data from Service Pin check box.
You may then compare the data received against the expected data to
analyze the problem.

2. Press the service pins of the devices you are commissioning.

3. If you are installing one device, the LonMaker tool will begin commissioning the device. The

total number of service pin messages received from the network will appear in the Total Received
box. When the LonMaker tool is done commissioning the device, it will return to the LonMaker
drawing. The device shape will be solid green (online) or crosshatched green (soft offline),
indicating that the physical device has been commissioned.

4. If you are installing multiple devices, the LonMaker tool will attempt to determine which device

you are commissioning based on the service pin message. If multiple devices qualify, the
LonMaker tool will select the first one that does not already have an assigned Neuron ID.

You can specify which device or router you are commissioning by clicking its name under the
device name column and then pressing its service pin. If a service pin message is filtered or the
LonMaker tool is unable to identify the device, the number in the Total Received box will be
incremented, but no new Neuron ID will appear in the device list.

As you press service pins, the total number of service pin messages received from the devices you
are commissioning will appear in the Total Received box. When all the Neuron IDs have been
acquired, the LonMaker tool will commission the devices. When the LonMaker tool is done
commissioning, it will return to the LonMaker drawing. The device shapes will be will be solid
green (soft online) or crosshatched green (offline), indicating that the physical device has been
commissioned

5. Click

Continue to quit pressing service pins and to commission the devices that have already been

acquired. Click Cancel to quit pressing service pins and not commission any devices.
