Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dsl or cable modem?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but you would have to implement the equivalent of Echelon's xDriver software. The best choice for using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter without LNS is to use Echelon's OpenLDV driver. It is available free of charge at www.echelon.com/openLDV. Yes, though the algorithm differs from the i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server. This question is usually asked when trying to figure out how much bandwidth an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter might consume on an Ethernet segment. For example, if the i.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a dial-up (telephone) connection?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter (version 2.x and higher, available from April 2004) supports an external modem attached to its serial port. When used with an external modem, the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses PPP as the serial protocol. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter version 1.x does not support PPP.

Can I use the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter with a wireless network?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. There are several manufacturers of 10/100 BaseT Ethernet to wireless bridges. One example is the LinkSys WET11 Ethernet bridge.

What is the throughput of the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is designed to "keep up" with the channel for unacknowledged uplink messages. This means that the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter can pass up to 180 - 200 unacknowledged messages per second uplink from the FTT channel to the LNS or OpenLDV PC. Acknowledged service is slower. However, the performance is asymmetric. Downlink unacknowledged messages are limited to approximately 21 - 22 per second.

What is the difference between the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and the i. LON 100 Internet Server?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter is a single function device, it acts as a Remote Network Interface (RNI) and nothing more. It was designed to provide complete LonWorks connectivity at the lowest possible price. The i.LON 100 Internet Server can also act as a remote network interface (RNI), but has additional capabilities, including built-in applications for scheduling, data logging, and alarm processing. The i.

What is the difference between an SLTA-10 and an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter connects to the PC via 10 BaseT Ethernet. The SLTA-10 connects to the PC via RS-232. Both the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter and SLTA-10 can connect to the PC via modem. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses TCP/IP when directly connected and PPP when connected via modem which allows the use of intervening Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The SLTA-10 uses a proprietary serial link protocol which is not supported by ISPs. Performance is roughly equal.

Can the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter serve web pages?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Only for configuration purposes. The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter cannot provide network variable values in a web page. The i.LON 100 can access network variables through web pages.

What type of security is built into the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
HTTP access (used to set configuration) may be limited or disabled. If disabled, you must have physical access to the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter to change its operating parameters.

Why isn't the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter "Cisco Certified"?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
Cisco has discontinued the Cisco NetWorksT. It is no longer possible to "Cisco certify" products.

What processor and operating system is used by the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter?

i.LON 10 Frequently Asked Questions
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter uses an 8032 processor working in conjunction with a Neuron® 3120® Chip. The operating system is proprietary. Cost. The primary design consideration for the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter was to provide a device to allow full and complete access to LonWorks networks (network variables, network management, explicit messages, configuration properties, network diagnostics - everything) at the lowest possible price.

I have a cable modem (or a DSL line), can I use it with your system?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Effective 03/31/2003 our software is Internet Ready and Capable. Please download the upgrade from our "New" page, ask for an Internet Password from our personnel, then work at high speed. Try different setup strings, in the "Edit Modem Setup" portion of our program. There are sample setup strings in the "help" selection of our Windows program, and also on page 4 of the printed manual.

Can I use my DSL, cable, or AirPort modem?

JPT: Frequently Asked Questions
No, JPT cannot be used with these types of modems. JPT can only be used with traditional analog modems (such as the built-in modems that ship with most Macintosh computers) or with Bluetooth mobile phones.

Can't I just get a DSL line or a cable modem and host the site or my own computer?

Web Hosting Universe -hosting FAQ host frequently asked ques...
Sure, you could do that, but it's not a good idea for several reasons. First, a vast majority of ISPs won't let you legally use a residential cable modem or a DSL line to host a public server. You would have to get a more expensive business package. Second, ADSL and cable lines usually have lower upstream bandwidth than downstream bandwidth, so your site may appear to be sluggish under heavy traffic. Third, DSL and cable lines have a much lower reliability than dedicated T1 or better lines.

Can I use a USB to Ethernet adapter to connect the USB modem to my network?

thinkbroadband :: Broadband FAQ
With the current adapters you cant, the USB modem is the DSL equivalent of a WinModem and requires some processor power to perform the modem functions and convert the ATM data into TCP/IP for presentation to the PC. There is a Draytek device however which can effetively act as a router and presents ethernet to the user side. See details here.

I have a modem that I use for e-mail at home. Should I get an Ethernet adapter?

IIT Documentation - Resnet FAQ
Ethernet connection is up to 100 times faster than a modem connection and allows access to printers and fileservers, unlike a modem. Also, you would have to obtain an outside Internet System Provider (ISP) at a cost. With a modem connection you have to wait for an open modem line; with an Ethernet connection the network is always there for you to use, and it doesn't tie up your phone line. Ethernet Adapter: (or "Ethernet card"): Also called a network interface card (NIC).

Can I use a dial-up modem or do I need a cable modem or DSL?

umlive.net | Frequently Asked Questions
The rule of thumb is the faster the better. You can download shows from umlive.net on a dial-up modem, but it may take about 12 hours or more for one show in standard MP3 format. On a cable modem or DSL it typically takes between 15 minutes to a half-hour to download a show in MP3 format.
