How to Configure a Loytec LIP Router into a Hawk

1. From the Palette LonIP add a LonIpNetwork to the Station > Drivers 2. Configure the Configuration Server in an LIP router. (we recommend NOT using the Hawk as the Config Server) 3. With the configuration server setup up in a Loytec LIP router go to the LonIpNetwork, and the ipChannel, then select the Network Config property sheet. Leave the Is Config Server as False and instead enter the IP address of the LIP router configured as the Configuration Server in the Config Server Ip field and press Save Note a Lon IP network can only have one Configuration Server active.

4. The Member Table should now be populated with a record of the Loytec Router (in this case - cm) and the Hawk (in this case cm2) any other LIP routers on the network should be populated as members here once configured.

5. A Loytec LIP-33ECTB device requires to be configured in a Hawk as below

and a Loytec LIP-3333ECTB device requires to be configured in a Hawk as below

6. To configure the routers and assign the Near Side and Far side neuron IDs to each router must be done in the Lon Router Manager. This is found on a right click on LonIpNetwork > Views > Lon Router Manager. 7. Split the screen with Discovered and Database windows by pressing the Lear Mode quick access

button

8. To get the routers to appear in the top window the service pin for each router configuration on the Loytec Router needs to be deployed in turn. To do this on the Loytec router press and hold down the Status button. After a couple of seconds the LEDs will flash in turn from CNIP to Act 1, Act 2 etc. When the LED is at CNIP release the button and a router entry should appear in AX in the Discovered field.

Drag the router record from the Discovered to Database field and rename as required

Note: a record of the router now appears in the Nav tree and also note the near and far side channel IDs the near side channel is that on the IP network effectively directly connected to the Hawk, the far side channel is the internal / virtual channel within the LIP router.

9. Repeat step 7 this time releasing the LIP router Status button when the LED is on Act 1, then again on Act 2 (etc if an LIP3333ECTB), bring these devices into the database and rename as appropriate.

Again note the near and far side channel numbers. Alternatively the service pin message can be sent via the Send Service Pin Message buttons when the Loytec device is web browsed (see below)

10. Starting with the first router i.e. the one connected to the Hawk, note in the Near Device Data a Neuron ID is already entered (this should match the VID1 neuron ID on the label on the side of the LIP Router.

In the Far Device Data entry no neuron ID is entered this must be entered manually

11. To find out what this neuron ID is you will have to web browse the Loytec router open a browser type in the IP address of the LIP router and go to Device Info, at the botom a list of Six neuron Ids are shown the far side neuron Id required is the one detailed as EIA852 Port Info Internal unique node ID.

Manually enter this neuron ID in the Far Device Data Neuron Id field and Save

12. On the other two Router entries the for the two FTT10 ports again the Near Device Data Neuron Ids will already be entered, so manually enter the Far side IDs in these cases they will be the EIA709 Port 1 External unique IDs respectively.

13. Once all the near and far side neuron IDs have been assigned to each router entry, go back to the Lon Router Manager, first select the router entries connected to the IP network then select the TempBridge button and then the Commission button, press Apply and the router should be successfully commissioned.

14. Once the router connected to the IP channel has been commissioned now select all other router entries and again ensure the TempBridge button is selected and then Commission (you will not be able to commission these entries until the IP connected router has been commissioned) all routers should now be successfully commissioned. The TempBridge button can now be deselected.

NOTE when devices are configured in the database or discovered and dragged and dropped into the database that are wired on the different FTT10 channels, ensure the channel that the device is physically wired too is entered in the device channel Id field and the correct subnet for that channel is entered in the Subnet field.

i.e this device is physically wire to FTT10_Port2 which is configured on Channel 3 and Subnet 3, therefore this must be entered in the Channel Id and Subnet fields correctly as the device will not be able to be commissioned successfully
