Configure key SedonaJen6lpNetwork properties

Do this after adding the SedonaJen6lpNetwork (see Add a SedonaJen6lpNetwork).

NoteYou must know the Jennic PANID and channel map range used by the wireless Jennic-based devices, in order to configure the Sedona Jennic option card in the JACE to operate as the coordinator for them.

Configuring key SedonaJen6lpNetwork properties

  1. Open the property sheet for the SedonaJen6lpNetwork, if not already open



  2. Set the Panid and Channel used by the wireless network of Jennic-based devices. A few properties of this network are described as follows:

    • Enabled

      Initially false (disabled). After configuring and saving other properties in remaining steps, you change it tor true and save, to initiate all changes.

    • Panid

      Jennic PAN ID (Personal Area Network identifier), in hexadecimal, range 0x0000 to 0xFFFE for the network. The JACE station acts as the coordinator for this network. Panid should match the PANID in use by installed devices (check with the vendor of installed devices). The default Panid is: defa

    • Channel

      RF 2.4GHz channel number to use, from 11 to 26. This channel must be included in the “channel map” of installed devices.

    • Address Map

      Container to specify the IPv4 address network “base” as well as hold entries for discovered nodes. See the next step.

    For more details on properties above, see SedonaJen6lpNetwork coordinator properties.

  3. Expand the Address Map.



    In the Ipv4 Address Base field, either accept the default address base network (192.168.1.0), or enter another private IPv4 subnet for the JACE to map discovered wireless Jennic-based devices.

    NoteThe IPv4 address base must be on a different subnet than the subnet used by the JACE for normal IP communications. For further details, see the Address Map description in the section SedonaJen6lpNetwork coordinator properties.

    The Ipv4 Address Base subnet must fall within the Class A, B, or C address range, as follows:

    • 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.0 (Class A)

    • 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.0 (Class B)

    • 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 (Class C)

    As new wireless devices are discovered, they are assigned the next available IP address. The first address (n.n.n.0) is reserved for the coordinator.

    For example, with the base address at default (192.168.1.0), the coordinator is 192.168.1.0, and the first device to associate with the coordinator is assigned 192.168.1.1, the next device 192.168.1.2, and so on. These devices automatically appear as dynamic entries under the network’s Address Map.

  4. Save all changes made in the SedonaJen6lpNetwork property sheet.

  5. Make sure the Enable Ipv4 Mapping property is true, and set the network’s Enable property to true, and Save again.

    The status of the network should change from disabled to ok, and the “Coord Address” should change from 0:0 to an actual address (for example: 158d00:9b50b). Under the Address Map in the property sheet, entries should begin to populate under the Ipv4 Address Base. Within a minute or two, all address map entries should be complete.

NoteIn the future, after changing any of the following network properties, you must disable then re-enable the SedonaJen6lpNetwork (or else restart the station) for them to be effective:
