Connecting to a LonTalk Link

This section describes several Rover connection methods.

Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the USB LonTalk Adapter

The USB LonTalk adapter is supplied with Rover packages X13651500-01, X13651502-01, X13651499-01, and X13651503-01.

To connect to a LonTalk link:

1. Connect the USB LonTalk adapter and cables through a zone sensor or a USB LonTalk controller as shown in the two figures that follow in this subsection.
2. Test the communications link. (Refer to “Verifying Using a USB Adapter,” p. 17..)

Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the PCMCIA LonTalk Card

The PCMCIA LonTalk card was previously supplied with Rover Version 5.0 and older. To connect to a LonTalk link:

1. Insert the PCMCIA LonTalk card in your laptop PC.
2. Connect the cables through a zone sensor or a LonTalk controller as shown in the figures that follow in this subsection.
3. Test communications link (refer to “Verifying Using a PCMCIA Card,” p. 17.).

**Connecting to a System Controller Using the LonTalk Interface

Adapter**

The procedures in this section explain how to attach the LonTalk Interface Adapter to a Tracer SC or to a Tracer SC+ with an Echelon U60 module and then connect Rover to the Tracer SC or Tracer SC+.

Connecting to a Tracer SC Using the LonTalk Interface Adapter

To connect Rover to a Tracer SC using the provided adapter (refer to the figure in “Alternate Wiring,” p. 9) :

1. Unplug the terminal block from the lower Lon Link on the Tracer SC.
   Note: The Rover LonTalk Adapter will only fit into the lower Lon Link on the Tracer SC.
   Therefore, reserve the lower Lon Link for the adapter and do not connect the LonTalk network wiring to this terminal. Instead, wire the LonTalk network link to the upper Lon Link terminal. If the Tracer SC is terminated at the end of the LonTalk network link, there will only be one set of wires connected on the upper terminal block. However, if the Tracer SC is installed in the middle of the LonTalk network link, there will be two sets of wires to connect. In this case, gang two wires under each terminal of the upper Lon Link terminal block instead of using both the upper and lower Lon Link terminal blocks. If using both the upper and lower Lon Link terminals for network wiring, refer to the Alternate Wiring section below.

2. Plug the supplied LonTalk interface adapter into the location where the terminal block was removed.

3. Plug the terminal block, removed in the first step, into the top of the LonTalk interface adapter.

4. Connect the supplied USB cable between the PC and the USB LonTalk adapter (as shown in the second figure in “Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the USB LonTalk Adapter,” p. 7 ).

5. Connect the USB cable adapter to the USB LonTalk adapter (as shown in “Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the USB LonTalk Adapter,” p. 7). The adapter should click easily into the card. If you have to use force, the adapter may be upside down.

6. Connect the RJ11 plug on the other end of the cable adapter to the RJ11 jack on the LonTalk interface adapter on the Tracer SC.

7. Test the communications link. Refer to “Verifying Network Communications,” p. 17..

Alternate Wiring

In cases where the LonTalk network wiring uses both the upper and lower terminals, the technician will have to break the communication on the link in order to insert the LonTalk interface adapter into the lower Lon Link terminal.

Important: Minimize the time the LonTalk link is disconnected from the System Controller so the disruption doesn’t generate entries in the Event Log (as early as 90 seconds), or cause commands to be lost on the link.

Be aware of the following issues when disrupting the LonTalk link to insert the LonTalk interface adapter:

• While the LonTalk Link is disconnected, the System Controller will be unable to read/write equipment-resident data. Any System Controller TGP2 routines that are looking for equipment-resident data will not react to changes until the LonTalk Link is reconnected.
• Some commands issued while communication is disrupted, will not be sent to the devices.
• If the LonTalk link is disconnected for longer than 15 minutes, the LonTalk devices will revert to using their default, standalone settings.
• Disconnecting and reconnecting the LonTalk link to insert the interface adapter, while in the process of troubleshooting a LonTalk communication problem, may cause unexpected changes in the link and complicate the troubleshooting task.

Connecting to a Tracer SC+ with an Echelon UC60 Using the LonTalk Interface Adapter

To connect Rover to a Tracer SC+ Echelon UC60 using the LonTalk Interface:

1. Unplug the terminal block (orange connector) from the Echelon U60.

2. Plug the supplied LonTalk interface adapter into the location where the terminal block was removed.

3. Plug the terminal block that you removed in step 1 into the top of the LonTalk interface adapter.

4. Connect the supplied USB cable between the PC and the USB LonTalk adapter (as shown in the second figure in “Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the USB LonTalk Adapter,” p. 7

5. Connect the USB cable adapter to the USB LonTalk adapter as shown in “Connecting to a LonTalk Link Using the USB LonTalk Adapter,” p. 7.
   The adapter should click easily into the card. If you have to use force, the adapter may be upside down.

6. Connect the RJ11 plug on the other end of the cable adapter to the RJ11 jack on the LonTalk interface adapter on the Tracer SC+.

7. Test the communications link. Refer to “Verifying Network Communications,” p. 17.

Connecting With a Communication Key

Most LonTalk controllers have built-in communications capability, but the Tracer™ ZN010 does not. To connect to a Tracer ZN010, you must first install the communication key as shown in the following figure. The communication key was previously supplied with Rover.

NOTICE
Damage to Communication Key!

Failure to follow instructions below could result in damage to the communication key.
To avoid damage to the communication key included in the Rover package when connecting to a Tracer ZN010, power down the ZNO10 before installing or removing the communication key.
