Figure 85: Configuration Download Dialog
Note, that after the download is complete, the interface changes become active on the
L-Gate (i.e., the static NV interface has changed). Refresh the network management tool to
synchronize the tool with the changes to the LNS database made by the L-Gate
Configurator (e.g., use the menu “LonMaker|Refresh” in LonMaker or hit F5 in NL-220).
Normally, the Configurator software optimizes the download process by not executing
certain LNS operations, if not necessary. For example, only those bindings and dynamic
NVs are deleted and re-created, which correspond to real changes in the interface. The user
can check the Force Full Upgrade option to clean and re-do all steps.
6.7.14 Build XIF for Port Interface
When using static NVs on the L-Gate, the L-Gateway configuration software can export a
new XIF file for the changed static interface.
To Create a XIF File
1. Select the CEA-709 Port folder
2. Right-click on that folder and in the context menu select Build XIF ….
3. This opens a file requestor where the XIF file name needs to be entered. Select a useful
name to identify the L-Gate, e.g. as “lgate1.xif”.
6.7.15 Enable Legacy NM Mode
For network management tools, which do not support the ECS (enhanced command set)
network management commands, the legacy network management mode must be
configured. Please contact the tool’s vendor for information whether ECS is supported or
not. Note, that changing to legacy network management mode changes the static interface
of the device.
