LonWorks Device
This screen is used to configure access to a single device on a LonWorks network.
Settings Tab
Label
Label is the name of the item as displayed in the
Device Tree .
All items in the Device Tree are sorted alphabetically by label. Folders can be used to organize items.
Neuron ID
The Neuron ID is the six pairs of hexadecimal numbers displayed on most LonWorks devices. It can
usually be found on a sticker somewhere on the device itself.
It should appear on the device as either six pairs of hexadecimal numbers (02 2B 49 8B 01 00) or as a
run of twelve numbers/letters (022B498B0100). Regardless of how it appears on the device, it should be
entered here as a single run of twelve digits (022B498B0100).
Description
Description is optional text that describes the item. It can be any descriptive text or be left blank.
Device Module (optional)
A device module is a custom written programming module that allows for access to complicated data
structures within a device. The normal addressing system will allow access to most data within a device,
but device modules may be needed for very complex data.
Addressing Tab
Domain ID, Subnet and Node
These addressing fields are initialized during device scanning and are not automatically updated or used
to access the device. They are shown here for reference only and must be manually updated.
Group Settings Tab
These determine which user groups can see this item in the tree. Unchecking the defau lt “Allow Everyone”
enables selecting individual groups. If a group cannot see an item, items under it are also unseen.
There are “Check All” and “Uncheck All” buttons in the upper-right corner to make major changes easier.
Advanced Tab

that the default value not be changed. It can be up to 48 characters. Only A
–Z, a–z, 0–9, period (.) and
underscore (_) are allowed. Names are case sensitive.
