6.1. 4 Dom ain Tab le Setu p

To be able to communicate with other nodes on th e LonWorks network, the FieldServer must have its Domain, Subnet and

Node ID’s set. Explicit configuration requires the user to set these parameters.

There are 3 ways in which the FieldServer DSN (Domain,Subnet,Node address) can be set:

Set the DSN using a Network manager by commissioning the FieldServer into th e Network Manager Project. When

doing it this way, it is extremely important that the DSN is not forced in the FieldServer Configuration, as the

Configuration address will override the Network Manager Address every time the FieldServer is restarted.

Set the DSN from the Lon.ini file. Using this option pro vides a default DSN if the FieldServer does not have a D SN

assigned. If a N etwork Manager or the FieldServer Configuration prov ides a DSN, then the Lon.ini DSN will be

ignored.

Set the DSN in the FieldServer configuration. This option takes precedence over the 2 other addressing options, an d

should therefore not be used when commissioning a FieldServer into a Network with a Network Manager.

Example 1 - Setting the Domain and Subnet from the lon.ini file

The Domain Table and Subn et IDs can be set from a lon.ini file on the FieldServer. The FieldServer’s LonWorks Node ID will

be set from the System_Station_Address field in the configuration file if specified, otherwise a default value will be used.
