0-004-7870-3 (EN)

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for


assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With
dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every
time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP
address can even change while it is connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.

DNS Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that


translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names
are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet however,
is based on IP addresses. Consequently, every time you use a
domain name a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.

FTP File Transfer Protocol. An application used to transfer files


from one host to another and to store the files on the requesting
host.

IP Network A network (for example Internet or Intranet) using


the Internet Protocol (IP) and IP addressing.

LTA LonTalk Adaptor. A computer interface with the LonWorks


network.

NTP Network Time Protocol. An Internet standard protocol


(used on top of TCP/IP) that assures accurate synchronization to
the millisecond of computer clock times in a network of computers.

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. A set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending
messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a
network.

SNTP Simple Network Time Protocol. A simplified version of


NTP.

SSL Secure Sockets Layer. A protocol developed by Netscape


for transmitting private documents via the Internet. By convention,
URLs that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of
http:.

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The


suite of protocols that when combined create the language of the
Internet.

The Xenta 511/527/911/913 all share the same hardware design and
hardware layout. For a more detailed description on each Xenta device,
see the Docnet site at www.tac.com.

2.1

Hardware
The Xenta device is designed around a microprocessor. The module
consists of two parts, an electronics unit containing the circuit boards
and contacts, and a terminal part including the terminal blocks.

Fig. 2.1: The Xenta device Electronics and terminal.

Power Outage Protection Settings like configurations and web


pages are stored in the non-volatile (flash) memory and will not be
lost in the event of a power outage. A built-in capacitor maintains
operation of the RAM memory for at least 72 hours in the event of
a power outage.

Real Time Clock The real time clock provides the internal event
log with a time stamp. The capacitor maintains operation of the
clock for at least 72 hours in the event of a power outage.

Mounting The Xenta device is cabinet mounted on a TS 35 mm


norm rail EN 50022.
To simplify commissioning, the terminal part can be pre-mounted
in the cabinet.
If the Xenta device is to be wall-mounted, a wide range of standardized boxes are available.

Fail-Safe State
The Xenta can enter a fail-safe state if a severe problem arises in the system program.
The unit can be forced into fail-safe mode by shorting terminals 9 and
10 in Fig. 2.2 during power-up. This can be useful if the system program
experiences problems.
The overall Run indicator (position 3 in Fig. 2.6) will show a steady red
light in the fail-safe state.

2.1.4

LEDs
A number of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the Xenta device indicate
that the application program is running and when communication is in
progress.

Upgrading the System Program


The Xenta system program can be upgraded via the IP network from a
computer running the installation program. The installation program is
distributed by TAC.

Note
To upgrade the system program of the Xenta device you must first
configure the Xenta using Windows HyperTerminal. For more information on how to configure the Xenta, see Section 7.1, Configuring
the TAC Xenta 911, on page 63. The procedure is not specific to the
Xenta 911 and can also be used for Xenta 511/527/913.

To upgrade the system program

With the exception of FTP access, these port numbers are adjustable in
the web configuration for the Xenta 911. If adjustment to the port number is made, it is necessary to reconfigure all communicating units.
HTTP and FTP access is only used for configuring and servicing the
units.

Xenta 911 can be used as a LonTalk adapter between Vista and the LonWorks network, as an IP modem or as a serial gateway.

7.1

Configuring the TAC Xenta 911


The technician uses Microsoft Windows and HyperTerminal to initialize and configure the Xenta 911. For more information on how to connect the Xenta 911, see Section 5.1, Configuration Phase, on page 49.

7.1.1

Configuration Data
To configure the Xenta 911, the following information should be
obtained from the network administrator:

DHCP is used or not used

IP address (only if DHCP is not used)

Subnet mask (only if DHCP is not used)

Default gateway

DNS server

Web site name (can be set later, using XBuilder)

Domain name (only used as information)

Host name (only used as information)

This information is used once you have connected to the Xenta 911
using HyperTerminal and a serial cable (null modem cable).

7.1.2
