Figure 1.1 An IP-852 Channel
You will notice that Figure 1.1 contains an icon representing the Echelon
LONWORKS/IP Configuration Server inside the IP-852 channel. The
Configuration Server stores the configuration of the IP-852 channel,
including the IP addresses of all the devices and routers installed on the
channel. You will initially configure the IP-852 channel with the
Configuration Server, and the Configuration Server must be running anytime
you modify the configuration of the devices on the IP-852 channel. You can
run the Configuration Server on any PC with access to the IP network
containing the IP-852 channel. Chapters 2 and 3 of this document describe
how to use the Configuration Server.
Because a virtual wire is created by the devices on the IP-852 channel, the
channel topology shown in Figure 1.1 is logically the same as Figure 1.2,
which shows a traditional LONWORKS channel connecting the three floors.
