LonNetwork is the base container for all Lonworks (Lon) components in the station.

If the host JACE has multiple LON ports, a separate LonNetwork is needed for each physical port. In each LonNetwork, its Lon Comm Config specifies the port’s Device Name.

In addition to being the network container for LonDevices and their child data objects (Lon proxy points), the LonNetwork also contains a LocalLonDevice, which configures the station’s representation as a Lonworks device. The LonNetwork also contains a LonNetmgmt component, the container for LON network management functions provided by the station.

As with other NiagaraAX driver networks, the LonNetwork should reside under the station’s Drivers container. For general information, see About Lon Network Architecture.

The default view of the LonNetwork is the Lon Device Manager.
