Distech Controls Allure EC-Smart-Vue Series - LONWORKS Network Access

13 / 16
LONWORKS Network Access from the Sensor
For commissioning and maintenance purposes, the LONWORKS network is optionally available from the Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensor audio plug port (not
available with ECL-PTU series controllers, or the ECL-VAVS).
Setting the two (2) Net to Subnet Port Settings jumpers inside the ECL Series controller to Enable will connect the main LONWORKS network to the Allure
EC-Smart-Vue sensor subnetwork Cat 5e cable.
Recommendation
: Only a limited number of controllers on a LONWORKS network segment should have their
Net to
Subnet Port Settings
jumpers enabled. Enabling too many Allure EC-Smart-Vue sensors with network access may
cause network communication issues. If there are any network communication problems, see the Troubleshooting
section in this document.
The Cat 5e cable length is restricted by the maximum allowable subnetwork bus length (see Subnetwork Bus Total Length [pg.5]). The standard
Net to
Subnet Port Settings
jumper setting is
