Explicit Addressing & Domain Table Setup
To use explicit addressing, the client needs to change the factory settings
contained in the PT-Link-LON’s confi guration fi le (confi g.csv). The
following are the steps to change the confi guration fi le from implicit to
explicit addressing:
1.) Upload and open the confi g.csv fi le.
2.) Locate the “Connections” section.
3.) Locate the “Lonworks_Server” column and change the
value from “Implicit” shown in Figure 13 to “Explicit”
shown in Figure 14. You should also change the “Lon
works _Input” and “Lonworks_Outputs” from Update to
Polled.
In addition, the PT-Link-LON must have its domain, subnet, and node
IDs set. This feature is enabled in the confi guration fi le by fi lling out
the Title and System_Address fi elds of the PT-Link-LON parameters
as follows:
//==================================================
//
// Common Information
//
Bridge
System_Address ,Title
23 ,”:D48:S01:Wattmaster Explicit Lon v1.00d”
Figure 15: PT-Link-LON Domain and Subnet Setting
The Title fi eld must start with “:D”, followed by the domain_id in
hexadecimal notation, followed by “:S”, followed by the subnet_id in
hexadecimal notation, and enclosed by “:”. The domain length is auto-
matically determined by the number of digits in the [domain_id] fi eld.
With 2 hexadecimal digits constituting 1 byte, “:D123456:”, for example,
would have a length of 3.
Once the domain table has been set, the “:Dxx:Sxx:” part of the Title
fi eld will be removed.
Now the Title fi eld will be left with [Title continued…] which may be
the Node self documentation string or any title.
After the changes are done, do not forget to save the fi le, download
the new confi guration fi le, and restart the PT-Link-LON. Refer to the
Download Section that follows.
