To facilitate network management, the LonNetwork provides four different manager views, as shown in Figure 16.
These manager views are as follows:
-
Lon Device Manager
This is the default view. See Lon Device Manager.
-
Lon Router Manager
See Lon Router Manager.
-
Lon Link Manager
Use this view to manage link types and bind links in the Lon network. See Lon Link Manager.
-
Lon Utilities Manager
Use this view to perform various utilities that are useful for managing and troubleshooting a Lon network. See Lon Utilities Manager.
In addition to the LonNetwork’s four “manager” views, and its property sheet (Figure 7), you also typically use the network’s wire sheet view. This is where you can review and engineer Lonworks (peer-to-peer) bindings directly between Lon nodes, graphically
pulling wires between Lon devices. See About the LonNetwork wire sheet.
