A local client can also be configured as a local IP client. In this configuration, the LonMaker computer
is attached to a LonWorks channel such as an IP-852 channel and communicates remotely with the
network using an

i

.LON IP-852 router. The LonMaker computer is still a local client because the LNS

Server is running on the same computer.

Remote Full Client

A remote full client is a LonMaker computer that communicates with the LNS Server (running on a
separate computer) over a LonWorks channel.

The simplest method for a remote full client to communicate with the LNS Server is to attach both to a

channel (typically, a high-speed backbone such as an IP-852 or TP/XF-1250 channel). To

communicate with the network in this configuration, the LonMaker computer needs a LNS network
interface such as the U10/U20 USB Network Interfaces; PCC-10 PC Card; or PCLTA-10, 20, and 21
PCI Network Interfaces.
