Introduction:

The NodeUtil Node Utility is a test and diagnostic tool that can be used with Echelon’s family of network interfaces (including the PCLTA-20, PCLTA-21, PCC-10, i.LON® 10, i.LON 100, i.LON 600, i.LON SmartServer, SLTA-10, U10, and U20 network interfaces). It is a is a console application for Microsoft® Windows® systems. NodeUtil Node Utility can be used to diagnose and configure LONWORKS® network interfaces, routers, and devices.

Using Node-Util it is only possible to view and modify the configuration of a single device, it is not possible to manage a device’s configuration in the context of the network containing the device.

Important: Using NodeUtil, it is possible to make a device inoperable, so that it no longer communicates with other devices in its network. Certain operations, such as modifying communications parameters to incorrect values, can cause an unrecoverable device failure. The NodeUtil Node Utility is provided as an UNSUPPORTED software tool.
