Introduction

The Echelon LonBridge Server is a software tool that provides an interface

between a TCP/IP network and a network of L

ONWORKS interoperable self-

installation (ISI) devices. This interface allows you to create a control

application, such as a graphical user interface (GUI), to manage devices on a

ONWORKS network from a device that is connected to a TCP/IP network.

LonBridge Server also provides a client-independent application programming

interface (API) for managing these networks and devices. For Microsoft

Windows

platforms, the LonBridge Server requires a layer-5 network interface

that is compatible with the OpenLDV™ interface, such as the Echelon U20 USB

Network Interface, to manage communications with the L

ONWORKS network.

For Linux

platforms, the LonBridge Server requires an Echelon ShortStack

Micro Server (which uses the LDV interface) to manage communications with the

ONWORKS network.

Figure 1 on page 3 is a block diagram of a Windows or Linux host running the

LonBridge Server, and using the OpenLDV or equivalent interface to

communicate with the L

ONWORKS network. The LonBridge Server uses TCP/IP

sockets to communicate with LonBridge applications. The socket interface allows

the LonBridge Server to communicate with applications that are local to the

same host platform as the LonBridge Server and with applications that are

remote (connected by an Ethernet or similar network). This socket interface also

allows you to develop LonBridge client applications with any programming

language that supports TCP/IP socket interfaces.
