Preface
This document describes how to connect and configure the
i.LON 10 LONWORKS®adapter.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide i

Welcome
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is a low-cost, high performance interface that
connects LONWORKS based everyday devices to the Internet, a LAN, or a WAN.
Through the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter, appliances, meters, load controls,
lights, security systems, pumps, and valves can be connected to the Internet via a
DSL or cable modem, residential gateway, settop box, switch, hub, or modem. A
local or remote service center running Echelon's LNS®server can then configure,
monitor and control the devices—from across the room or across the world.
Purpose
The i.LON 10 User’s Guide describes the hardware of the i.LON 10 Ethernet
Adapter and also describes the configuration web pages hosted by the i.LON 10.
Audience
The i.LON 10 User’s Guide is intended for use by network installers who need to
connect the i.LON 10 adapter to their LONWORKS network.

Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the i.LON 10 Ethernet
Adapter and how it fits into the i.LON family of products.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 1-1

The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter connects LONWORKS networks to remote LNS
Servers via a TCP/IP Ethernet connection. Multiple remote networks can be
connected to a single LNS Server. On the PC containing the LNS Server, a piece
of software called the xDriver manages communications between multiple
LONWORKS networks using i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapters and LNS Servers,
allowing for asynchronous and simultaneous updates (see the LNS Programmer’s
Guide, xDriver Extension for more information).
For example, imagine LONWORKS networks installed at 1000 separate hospital
buildings in different locations. Each network contains a LONWORKS device that
monitors the hospital’s emergency power generator for various alarm conditions.
Alarms initiate xDriver connections to an LNS service center where the alarm is
processed and dispatched.
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is available in two models, free topology and
power-line. The free topology model contains a TP/XF-FT-10 transceiver and can
be connected to a TP/XF-FT-10 LONWORKS channel. The power-line model
contains a PL-22 transceiver and can be connected to a PL-20 power-line
LONWORKS channel.

i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Hardware
This section describes the hardware inputs and outputs for both
the free-topology and power-line models of the i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter. It also provides a template that can be used
to mount the i.LON 10. See the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter
Quick Start Guide for step by step instructions on how to
connect the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter hardware.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 2-1

i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter I/O
The two models of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter (power line and free-topology),
have an identical form factor and have identical I/O with the exception of the
differing LONWORKS network connectors and the Band In Use LED on the
power-line model. The following diagram displays the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter
(FT version) from the top and from the back, showing all hardware inputs and
outputs.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter, FT model
2-2 i.LON 10 Ethernet Hardware

i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter, PL model
These hardware inputs and outputs have the following function:
Power LED Green LED that illuminates steadily while the
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter has power.
Ethernet Link LED Green LED that illuminates when the i.LON
10 Ethernet Adapter has established an
Ethernet link via the 10Base-T port.
Ethernet Transmit LED Green LED that flashes when traffic is
detected on the 10Base-T network.
LONWORKS Service LED Yellow LED that implements the Standard
Neuron®Service LED behavior (see the
Neuron Chip Databook for more information).
LONWORKS Connect LED Yellow LED that illuminates steadily if the
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is connected with
an LNS server. It is dark when no LNS server
connection exists.
LONWORKS Wink LED Yellow LED that flashes 5 times when the
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter receives a
LONWORKS wink command from the
LONWORKS channel.
BIU LED Yellow LED that illuminates when a carrier
frequency is detected at 131.5 kHz to 133.5
kHz. This LED is only on the power-line
version.
Power Input Barrel connector power supply input for use
with the included power supply (Echelon
model 780x0 series for the free-topology
model). The included Tamura 425x12400P
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 2-3

supply should be used with the power-line
model.
10Base-T Ethernet Port Standard 10BaseT connection, type RJ-45.
LONWORKS TP/FT-10 Port For the free-topology model, an orange
Weidmuller connector (Weidmuller model
#134686) connected to an Echelon TP/FT-10
transceiver. This port exists only on the free-
topology model.
Serial Port A DB-9 serial port. Can be used to connect
the i.LON 10 Ethernet adapter to a modem.
See i.LON 10 Serial Port Pinout, below, for
more information about this port.
Service Pin Service pin is a recessed pushbutton used to
send a LONWORKS service pin message on the
LONWORKS channel. This button is also used
to perform a security access reset as described
in Security Access Reset.

Mounting the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter Hardware
To mount the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter, follow these steps:
1. Determine if you want to mount the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter horizontally
or vertically.
2. Insert two #6 flat-head screws into the surface upon which the i.LON 10 is to
be mounted. For horizontal mounting, these screws should be placed 73.5
mm apart. For vertical mounting, these screws should be placed 37.5 mm
apart. The following template can be printed out and used to set screw
locations:
2-6 i.LON 10 Ethernet Hardware

Be sure the heads of screws are protruding slightly from the mounting
surface.
3. Slide the i.LON 10 Ethernet adapter onto the screws. You may need to
adjust the screws into or out of the wall slightly to assure a secure mounting.

Using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with
a 10BaseT Connection
This chapter discusses how to configure the i.LON 10 Ethernet
Adapter’s General Setup web page to facilitate communications
between the LONWORKS network and the LNS Server using
TCP/IP.
i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter User’s Guide 3-1

The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter General Configuration
Page
You can access the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s General setup page by pointing
your browser to 192.168.1.222 and clicking the Setup link. If you are unable to
access the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter’s web pages, ensure that:
•The PC is on the same subnet as the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter. By default,
the IP address of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is 192.168.1.222. The IP
address is reset to this value whenever a security access reset (see
Performing a Security Access Reset in Chapter 5) is performed. See the i.LON
10 Ethernet Adapter Quick Start Guide for a step-by step description of how
to configure the i.LON 10.
•If Internet Explorer is configured to use a proxy server, set the Bypass
Proxy Server for Local Addresses option. You can access proxy server
options in Internet Explorer 6.0 by opening the Tools menu, then clicking
Options, then selecting the Connections tab of the Options dialog, and
then clicking LAN Settings on the Connections tab.
This General setup page appears as shown in the following figure:
If you are unable to access this page, verify that if your PC is on the same subnet
as the i.LON 10. To access this page in non-secure mode, the HTTP Access
option on the security page must be selected. See i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter
Security Web Page in Chapter 5for more information).
