Introduction to Network Management

Machine-to-machine control systems consist of everyday devices that perform a common set of functions: they sense, process, actuate, and communicate

LONWORKS® is a machine-to-machine network, invented by Echelon, that performs these core set of functions, and transforms everyday devices into intelligent, interoperable devices

3

Introduction to Network Management

The devices in a network need to be told with what other devicesthey should communicate

In simple networks this process can be accomplished automatically through a process called self-installation

4

Introduction to Network Management

In more sophisticated networks the set of features, options, and choices is much greater

The design, installation, and maintenance of such a network is best accomplished using a tool—called a network management tool
