Appendix C. Troubleshooting Tips Appendix C.1. Debugging a LonWorks connection: Hints and tips

To test connections, set the configuration tool into a mode that will display service requests, and then

push the button on the FieldServer. A request should appear.

In order for variables to appear as outputs, they need to be declared as write variables in the FieldServer.

Declaring the Map Descriptor functions as WRBC, or WRBX can do this. See S ection 5.1.2 for more

information.

If the domain and Subnet ID are defined in the configuration file of the FieldS erver, these value s will be

used when power is cycled to the FieldServer. If the values set here are different to what the Network

Manager has set up for the FieldServer for clients using implicit addressing, the FieldServer will stop

communicating. In this case, chan ge these settings o r remove the m from the configuration file

completely and recommission the FieldServer.
