9.1 Suspension of Message Transmission when Receiving Set Node Mode Online
The LON Gateway suspends spontaneous message transmission, such as reports of the bound output network variable
changes and heartbeat, as well as responding to the Node Object, for one minute after receiving "Set Node Mode
Online", a management message. However, it responds to other network management requests such as "poll" and
"fetch". This function is a mechanism to prevent time out errors because of transmission of messages spontaneously
issued by the LON Gateway when it comes online due to use of an installation tool such as the LonMaker during
commissioning.
