Product PropertiesProduct Properties

• Connect LonWorks networks to TCP/IP Ethernet networks for commercial, industrial, residential and utility applications

• LANLON 100% transparent data flow transfer • Capable of process at least 160 packets per seconds• 10MBaseT Ethernet interface• Static or acquired IP address • Twisted pair (TP/FT-10, TP/XF-1250 and TP/XF-78) LonWorks

channel support• Virtual SLTA-10 or SLTA LonWorks network interface• LNS (NSI) or LonManager API (MIP) support• Up to 256 adapters could be connect to one PC• Local or remote configuration, monitor and control support

Remotely Access LonWorks Remotely Access LonWorks Systems Using Existing SoftwareSystems Using Existing Software

ETHLON is the ideal way to gain central remote access to several control systems while still using the same software your LonWorks system was designed for. By extending LonWorks access over Internet Protocol (IP), ETHLON acts as a replacement for a LonTalk Serial Adapter such as an SLTA-10 or SLTA, establishing remote access without any major software changes.

Seamless Enterprise ConnectivitySeamless Enterprise Connectivity

What is VSLA and Why?What is VSLA and Why?

• VSLA -- Virtual Serial LonTalk Adapter• ETHLON is a VSLA device, redirects Ethernet as a virtual

serial port, and recognized as a Serial LonTalk Adapter by LonWorks system

• Advantages:– Using standard drivers of SLTA or SLTA-10 and SLTALink from

Echelon which are accepted by all LonWorks users– Using universal virtual serial port driver which are widely accepted

by IT world– Using all existing LonWorks software without any modify needed– Could connect up to 16 (windows95/98) or 256 (windows2000/NT)

devices to ONE PC running LNS/LonManager Server

HOW TO INSTALL?HOW TO INSTALL?• Physical Installation

– ETHLON can be installed in any convenient location where the LonWorks network and Ethernet network physically meet, allowing total flexibility in determining or changing the location of the workstation running LNS/LonManager Server.

– Wall or desktop mount

• Software Configuration– Device Server– Virtual Serial Port– Port Monitor– SLTA-10 driver and SLTALink– SLTA driver

• Hardware Configuration– LNS(NSI) -- LonManager(MIP)
