L-IP User Manual 109 LOYTEC
Version 6.1 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
The router in the L-IP Redundant can only be used as Configured Router and thus requires
to be commissioned with a network management tool (e.g. LonMaker) like any other router.
Smart Switch Mode, Repeater Mode and Bridge Mode are not supported.
Since the diagnostic node resides on the CEA-709 side of the router, the router must be
commissioned before the diagnostic node. To configure the diagnostic node with an LNS
based network management tool, LOYTEC provides the “L-IP Redundant Plug-In” (see
Section 9.5).
9.4 Installation

Redundant. This configuration utility is installed as a plug-in tool for all LNS based network
management tools.
