Introduction to the i.LON 1000 Internet Server
The i.LON 1000 Internet Server is a breakthrough product that provides reliable, secure
Internet access to the everyday devices in your world – lights, appliances, switches,
thermostats, motors, meters, and valves. The i.LON 1000 puts you in control – letting
you monitor, adjust, and reconfigure devices as needed, from wherever you might be.
LONWORKScontrol networks are the worldwide standard for networking controls and
machines in building, industrial, home, transportation, and utility automation
applications. Internet Protocol (IP) based data networking is the worldwide standard for
moving data over the Internet, local area networks (LANs), and wide area networks
(WANs). The i.LON 1000 Internet Server seamlessly links together these control and
data networking standards.
While IP-based data networks are poorly suited to the tasks performed by a control
network, they complement LONWORKS control networks by offering high speed, wide
area networking over which LONWORKS data can be sent and received. By providing a
robust, high performance interface between LONWORKS and IP-based networks, the
i.LON 1000 allows users to leverage the unique strengths of both control and data
networks.

The i.LON 1000 offers unparalleled performance and reliability. Certified under the Cisco
NetWorks™ program, the i.LON 1000 integrates Echelon's control networking and
routing expertise together with Cisco's Network Foundation Technologies. The result is
a layer 3 LONWORKS router that offers very high packet throughput for demanding
process control, building automation, utility, transportation, and telecommunications
applications. Cisco certification is your assurance that the i.LON 1000 has been both
rigorously tested and will meet the needs and standards of information technology (IT)
managers worldwide. Adherence to the EIA-proposed standard for tunneling ANSI/EIA
709.1 packets over IP ensures that communications through the i.LON 1000 are both
open and interoperable.

The i.LON 1000’s built-in Web server allows control information (such as network
variables representing temperature, occupancy, speed, etcetera) to be accessed easily
through a web browser. This feature provides access to LONWORKS monitoring and
control data from anywhere without the need for special software tools, over LANs,
WANs, or the Internet. Whether for remote diagnostics, equipment calibration, alarm
monitoring, or maintenance, the integral Web server makes it simple to access any part
of the control system.
The i.LON 1000 can be installed using standard LONWORKS installation tools. For
example, the i.LON 1000 is fully supported by tools using Echelon's LNS™ network
operating system, which provides quick setup, configuration, and application-level
interoperability. From the perspective of the IT network, the i.LON 1000 is viewed as a
typical IP host. Like other IP hosts, the i.LON 1000 supports standard internetworking
protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, SNMP (MIB II), ICMP, SNTP, TOS, MD5, HTTP, and
FTP. In addition, packet aggregation parameters, addressing, IP bandwidth utilization,
and security can all be adjusted via the IP network.

Hardware Step-by-Step Installation
1Verify that the PC is connected to the LONWORKS network and that you can
run LonMaker for Windows and the HMI examples as documented in Chapter 3
of Getting Started with the LONWORKS System Starter Kit.
2Verify that TCP/IP networking is installed and running on the PC. (See your
network administrator or the Windows TCP/IP networking documentation for
information on setting up Windows TCP/IP networking.)
3Connect both the PC and the i.LON 1000 to the 10BaseT hub using standard
10BaseT cables. (One such cable is provided with the i.LON 1000.) Figure 2.2,
above, shows just the PC and i.LON 1000 connected to the hub. For the
examples described in this document, an isolated TCP/IP network is
recommended. This avoids conflicts with the existing TCP/IP infrastructure at
your location. See your TCP/IP network administrator for more information.
4Connect the i.LON 1000 to the LONWORKS network using a short length of
twisted pair cable. The cable should be either cat 5 wire or Level 4 wire as
described in the Junction Box and Wiring Guidelines for Twisted Pair
LONWORKS Networks.
(http://www.echelon.com/Products/technical/pdfs/media_wiring/jboxwire.pdf)
5Strip approximately 4mm of insulation away from the ends of the wire; attach
one end of the twisted pair to the orange Weidmuller connector included with
the i.LON 1000 and the other end to terminal 3 & 4 of the right-most LonPoint
module on your DIN rail, as pictured in figure 2.2.
6Power ON all devices.
Your network should now look similar to the network pictured in figure 2.2.

Software Step-by-Step Installation
Follow these steps to install your software.
1Connect to the i.LON 1000 console application using Hyperterminal.
a) Using the null-modem cable (not pictured in the above diagrams) that
shipped with the i.LON 1000, connect an available COM port on your PC to
the i.LON 1000 console port. Be sure that a modem driver, palm organizer
driver, or other serial device is not already using the COM port you choose on
your PC.
b) Run Hyperterminal on your PC. (Hyperterminal ships with Windows and
can usually be found under START | PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES |
COMMUNICATION | HYPERTERMINAL. See Microsoft Windows help or
your system administrator for complete information on using the
Hyperterminal program.)
c) When Hyperterminal starts, it will prompt you for a Connection
Description. Type a descriptive name such as “ilon” for the connection
description and click OK.
d) After you have provided the connection description name from step c,
Hyperterminal’s Connect To dialog box will appear. This dialog allows you
to choose the COM port you will use. Select the COM port that you
connected the null-modem cable to.

i.LON 1000 Internet Server Starter Kit 11
e) Next, Hyperterminal will prompt you for the RS-232 (COM1 or COM2)
communication parameters. The i.LON 1000 communicates at 9600bps,
using 8 bit data, 1 stop bit, and no parity. No flow control is necessary. Set
the parameters in the hyperterminal communication property dialog
accordingly.
2Initialize the i.LON 1000’s IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
a) Press the PC’s Enter key twice. The i.LON 1000 console application should
respond with the ILON>prompt.
b) Type show at the ILON>prompt and press the PC’s Enter key. The i.LON
1000 should respond with a display of its current settings.

c) Get a static IP address, subnetmask, and default gateway address from
your TCP/IP system administrator.
Important: It is critical that you select an IP addressing
scheme that is compatible with your local TCP/IP network.
Check with your system administrator; do not use an IP
address until you have confirmation that it will not
adversely affect your local network.
The example addresses provided below are probably
incorrect for your local network. We provide them so that
you may understand the syntax of each command only.
Issue the following console commands at the command prompt to set the IP
properties of the i.LON 1000.
The syntax for console commands is: command argument
See your network administrator if you need help deciding on proper values
for the fields listed above. The hostname property can be a single name
without domain information, such as ilon1. It does not need to be a fully
qualified host name like ilon1.echelon.com.
d) Several of the commands entered above will not take effect until the i.LON
1000 is rebooted. Reboot the i.LON 1000 by typing reboot at the i.LON
1000 command prompt.
e) Once the i.LON 1000 reboots, type show at the i.LON 1000 command prompt
to verify that the changes were accepted and that there are no typographical
errors.
Type help at the i.LON 1000’s command prompt at any time for a list of
available commands.
ipaddress address Modifies the IP address, e.g., ipaddress 10.1.0.170
subnetmask address Modifies the subnet mask, e.g., subnetmask 255.255.255.0
hostname name Modifies the host name of thei.LON 1000, e.g., hostname myilon
(this name then becomes the console application prompt)
gatewayaddress Modifies the gateway address e.g., gateway 10.1.0.1
ftpuser name Sets the FTP user name tonamefor security in using FTP, e.g.,
ftpuser user1. Anonymous FTP is not supported.
ftppasswordpassword Sets the FTP password topassword, e.g., ftppassword gh5bug

i.LON 1000 Internet Server Starter Kit 13
Note:This is a good time to test TCP/IP communication between the PC and the i.LON 1000 by
pinging the i.LON 1000 from the PC, and by pinging the PC from the i.LON 1000.
Open the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, and choose the MS-DOS Prompt to open a DOS box.
Type: ping 10.1.0.170. From the i.LON 1000 console application type: ping <PC’s IP address>.
See your TCP/IP network administrator for information on how to use the ping command.
3Recall the examples described in Chapter 3 of the Getting Started with the
LONWORKS System Starter Kit. The following steps show how to add an i.LON
1000 to the network that was created in that chapter.
a) Start the LonMaker tool and restore the final solution file from the Getting
Started with the LONWORKS System Starter Kit. The file name is
LonPoint PID.zip. Although the LonMaker tool will prompt you to re-
commission all the devices in the drawing, it is not necessary to do so at
this time.
b) Once the network and drawing are restored, open them by clicking the
Open Network button. When prompted, be sure to select “OnNet” for
the LonMaker management mode.
The LonMaker tool again will prompt you to recommission all the devices in
the drawing, it is not necessary to do so at this time.
The LonMaker drawing should look like figure 2.3
Figure 2.3 Sample LonMaker Drawing

14 i.LON 1000 Internet Serve Starter Kit
c) Select the device shape (titled Device) from the LonMaker Basic Shapes
stencil and drag it to the LonMaker drawing. Place the new device just to
the right of the DIO shape. The LonMaker tool will ask for a device name
to associate with the device shape you just dropped. Set the device name to
“iLON1” and select the Commission Device checkbox. Click Next.
d) The next window asks you where the LonMaker tool should find information
about the i.LON 1000 device. Because the i.LON 1000 adheres to the
LONMARK guidelines, it is not necessary to maintain a separate external
interface file (XIF) describing it. The LonMaker tool is able to upload the
external interface definition directly from the i.LON 1000. Select Upload
From Device. Click Next.

i.LON 1000 Internet Server Starter Kit 15
e) The LonMaker tool allows you to select which channel the i.LON 1000 will
be connected to. Our example network has only a single channel, the
TP/FT-10 channel (named Channel 1), which the LonMaker tool
automatically selects for the i.LON 1000. Click Next to accept the selection.
f) LONWORKS devices can be assigned properties that may be useful in larger
networks. For example, embedded network management devices such as
Echelon’s DM-20 and DM-21 use location information to uniquely identify
discovered devices. For the network in this example, it is not necessary to
assign any properties to i.LON 1000. Click Next to move to the next
window.

16 i.LON 1000 Internet Serve Starter Kit
g) Click Next to use the service pin method of device identification. This is the
easiest way to get an i.LON 1000 Neuron ID into the LonMaker tool if the
LonMaker PC is actually attached to the LONWORKS network, like it is in
this example.
h) It is not necessary to load the i.LON 1000’s application image because the
i.LON 1000 comes preloaded from the factory. Leave the Load Application
Image checkbox cleared, and click Next.
