Changing the network’s working domain
If a host station is operating as the network manager (typical), its Lon Netmgmt always needs access to the zero-length domain to receive service pin messages. The driver always uses domain index Zero for
its working domain (not to be confused with a zero-length domain). If you change the default working domain, the zero-length
domain is retained, but moved to domain index one.
- Expand , right-click the Lon Network and select .
The Property Sheet opens.
- Click to expand Lon Netmgmt container.
- In
Domain Id property, click the length drop-down and select the matching domain-length used by other Lonworks devices (either 1, 3, or 6).
The adjacent Id property changes from empty to show a number of hexadecimal bytes. (for example, 00 or 00 00 00). The ID range is from 00 to FF.
- In the
Id property, enter the Domain Id used by other devices and click Save button.
The Local Lon Device is now configured with a non-default working domain.
NOTE: To place other (existing) Lon devices in this domain, you must recommission them.
