Identifying a device using its service pin
If you are unable to discover nodes that are physically connected to the station, they may be configured on a different domain.
Use the following method to gain access to a device by use of its Lonworks Service pin.
- Right-click the network and click .
The Lon Utilities Manager view opens.
- Near the bottom, click the lower-left drop-down control (command menu) and select Identify.
- Click the drop-down Identify control to the right (command submenu) and select Service Pin.NOTE: For this command, the selected Lon device makes no difference (
Local Lon Device, other). - Click the Execute button (
).The view updates to show a timestamp with the message Waiting on service pin below.
- At any connected Lon device, press its service pin.
The Lon Utilities Manager view shows the device’s domain table, including the domain length (
Domain Len) and the ID for the device. If the device is configured on something other than the zero-length domain (Domain Len is not 0), you must configure the network’s working domain to match.
By default, when expressly listening for a service pin message from the Lon Utilities Manager view, you have 300 seconds of listen time for a service pin before the utilities manager cancels the wait period.
You configure both the Domain Id and the Service Pin Wait under the Lon network’s LonNetmgmt container.
