Discovering Lon devices

After adding the network, you can use online discovery to find and create Lon devices (also referred to as Lon nodes). For a new network, instead of adding devices, you use Quik Learn to populate your network.

Prerequisites: The host is connected to the Lon network and devices are ready to be added to the station database.

Expand Config > Drivers and double-click the LonNetwork in the Nav tree.
The Lon Device Manager opens.
To discover devices in the working domain (or, if different, the zero-length domain), click the Discover button.
A progress bar appears at the top of the view and updates as the discovery job progresses. If the node is not represented in the database, the discovery job adds it to the Discovered pane (learn mode). If the node is already in the database, the discovery job selects (highlights) it in the Database pane. Initially, this table is empty.
Any Lon node already represented in the station’s Lon network does not appear in learn mode’s Discovered pane. This differs from other drivers, where an existing discovered device appears ghosted in the Discovered pane.

If you do not see an expected node, it is likely configured on a different domain than either the network’s working domain or the zero-length domain. To see such a node, press its Lonworks Service pin. It should now appear listed in the Discovered pane.
