Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to the i.LON 1000
Internet Server, including its applications, hardware, software,
and utilities.

1-2 Introduction
Introduction
The i.LON 1000 Internet Server provides reliable, secure Internet access to LONWORKS
devices.
LONWORKS control 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). Echelon's
i.LON 1000 Internet Server seamlessly links together these control and data networking
standards. By allowing the millions of Internet-ready LONWORKS devices already in use to be
monitored, controlled, accessed, manipulated, and updated over the Internet, the i.LON 1000
opens a new world of applications, markets, and business opportunities.
Figure 1-1 i.LON 1000 Front Panel
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.

Figure 1-2 i.LON 1000 Application
The i.LON 1000’s built-in Web server allows control information (such as network variables
representing temperature, occupancy, speed, etc.) to be accessed easily through a web
browser. This password-controlled feature provides access to LONWORKS monitoring and
control data from anywhere without the need for special software tools, over LANs, WANs, or
the Internet.
The i.LON 1000 is unique in its ability to support both peer-to-peer and master-slave
network communications. This powerful feature allows remotely located devices to
communicate over IP networks in the same way they would if they were co-located. Devices
on different floors of a building, scattered across different manufacturing pods, or located in
retail branches across the world can be seamlessly and transparently linked together, and
connected to far-flung corporate data and ERP networks.
The impressive performance of the i.LON 1000 is due to the combination of a powerful 32-bit
RISC processor and Echelon's LONWORKS/IP software architecture. The result is very high
packet throughput in control networks with large numbers of nodes and very fast monitoring
and display requirements.
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 services
architecture (such as the LonMaker™ Integration Tool), 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.
