How does the LonWorks bundle running in the service gateway connect to the LonWorks network?
To connect with FT-10 (ANSI/EIA 709.3) Free Topology networks, we sell the Model 735xx SLTA-10 Serial LonTalk Adapter. The SLTA-10 connects to the residential gateway with EIA-232 serial communications, requires a 24V power supply or wall mounted power adapter, and includes a connector for connecting to the FT-10 channel. If you need to connect to another type of network interface or channel type, e-mail osgi@echelon.com.

Which LonWorks channel types are supported?
For evaluation use, the FT-10, TP/XF-78, and RS-485 channel types are supported using one of the Model 735xx SLTA-10 Serial LonTalk Adapters. If you need to connect to another LonWorks channel type, or use a different type of network interface, e-mail osgi@echelon.com.
