This document describes how to use the NodeUtil Node Utility. NodeUtil is a Windows console application 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, SLTA-10, U10, and U20 network interfaces) to diagnose and configure LonWorks® network interfaces, routers, and devices.
NodeUtil is a test and diagnostic tool—it is not a network management tool. It will not assign destination addresses or bind network variables. Nor will it format LonMark® interoperable device information. A large number of LNS® based network management, diagnostic, monitoring and control tools are available; a directory of LNS based tools is available at www.echelon.com/lns. A popular LNS based network engineering tool is the LonMaker® Integration Tool; see www.echelon.com/lonmaker for more information. NodeUtil runs on top of OpenLDV™ 3.3C or higher. The OpenLDV driver is included with the LNS Turbo Edition and the LonMaker Integration Tool Turbo Edition, and is available for royalty-free download from www.echelon.com/OpenLDV.
Additional information and updates, including critical updates, may be available in Echelon’s Downloads web page at www.echelon.com/downloads.
NodeUtil is provided as an unsupported software tool.

To start NodeUtil, follow these steps:
Echelon Node Utility Release 2.04
Successfully installed TP/FT-10 network interface.
Welcome to the Echelon Node Utility application.
Activate the service pin on remote device to access it.
Enter one of the following commands by typing the indicated letter:
This is followed by the NodeUtil Main menu.
NodeUtil accepts command line parameters, with the following form:
NodeUtil [-D<interface name>] [-V] [-A] [-S] [-I<infile>] [-O<outfile>]
The -D<interface name> parameter is required if your network interface is not named LON1, all others are optional. If you specify an invalid parameter, NodeUtil will display a help message.
The -D parameter specifies the network interface name to use. The default is -DLON1. To specify an i.LON 10, i.LON 100, or i.LON 600, use the form x.<Profile>.<i.LON name>. For example, -Dx.Default.iLONatHQ specifies the Default xDriver profile, with the iLONatHQ i.LON. See the OpenLDV Programmer’s Guide, and the OpenLDV Programmer’s Guide, xDriver Supplement for details.
The -V parameter causes NodeUtil to start up in verbose mode. In this mode, NodeUtil displays all network interface messages in detail.
The -A parameter causes NodeUtil to start up in application mode. In this mode, NodeUtil does not configure the network interface, and does not accept service pin messages. If this parameter is not specified, NodeUtil assigns the network interface to a random subnet address in the zero-length domain with a node ID of 126, and sets the network interface to the configured state.
The -S parameter causes NodeUtil to use slower transaction timers, suitable for use with PL-20 power line channels. By default, NodeUtil uses transaction timers that are suitable for TP/FT-10 channels.
The –I parameter allows input from a text file instead of from the keyboard. Commands that don't require a carriage return must be on their own line and input that requires a carriage return must be on its own line. NV data is in hex. For example, the following script adds a device based on a Neuron ID, goes to it, polls its first NV, and updates its second NV with a SNVT_switch value of 100% and on:
A
9000011E28061102
G
1
P
1
U
2
C8 00
The –O parameter copies all of the NodeUtil output to the specified file. You can use this parameter to create a script file to be used with the –I parameter, deleting any parts of the file that are not command inputs.
The Main menu for NodeUtil is as follows:
F1-- Show Banner.
A -- (A)dd device to list.
D -- Set the (D)omain of the network interface.
E -- (E)xit this application.
F -- (F)ind devices in the current domain.

Z -- Shell out to command prompt.
NodeUtil>
Type the indicated letter or function key to invoke the corresponding command. You can stop any command by pressing the ESC key. The main menu commands are described in this section.
The G, M, R, S, and W commands prompt you to enter an ID for the device you wish to address with the command. NodeUtil maintains a list of devices that it knows about, indexed by ID number. This device list initially contains only the network interface itself, which has an ID of 0. For most of these commands, the default device is the last device in the list. You can use any of the following methods to add devices to the NodeUtil device list:
You can use the (G)o to Device Menu command to display the device menu.
Displays the name and version of the NodeUtil utility.
Add a device to the device list by entering the device’s Neuron ID. Enter the Neuron ID as six hex values, optionally separated by spaces. For example, you can enter “9000011E28061102” or “90 00 01 1E 28 06 11 02”. If NodeUtil can communicate with the device, it will be added to the directory.
Displays and optionally sets the first domain table entry of the network interface. This command is useful before entering the (F)ind Devices in the Current Domain command since the (F)ind Devices in the Current Domain command broadcasts on the domain you assign the network interface.
When you enter the D command, you will be prompted for the following parameters:
The second domain table entry of the network interface is always set to the zero-length domain for the purpose of receiving service pin messages.
Changing the authentication key is useful if you need to update network variables that have been configured as authenticated. An update to an authenticated network variable must be sent using a domain in which the target device is configured, using the correct authentication key.
At the end of this process, you will be given an opportunity to cancel the command before the new domain entry is written into the device.
Exits from NodeUtil. The device list is not saved.
Finds all devices in the current domain. The current domain is set by the Set the (D)omain of the Network Interface command. This command sends a domain-wide Query ID broadcast to all devices, and then queries all responding devices for their identification. Each new device is added to the device list. This command is useful when the service pins of the remote devices are not accessible. It will discover unconfigured and application-less devices, as well as devices that are configured in the domain of the network interface.
To query for devices configured in a specific domain, use the Set the (D)omain of the Network Interface command before the (F)ind Devices in the Current Domain command. The (F)ind Devices command broadcasts on the domain you assign to the network interface. Changing the domain and subnet to the configured domain for the network is especially useful if your network contains routers. Normally, routers are set to the configured routing mode, as that mode is the most bandwidth efficient. In the configured routing mode, routers will only pass messages for the configured domains. If the routers are set to the repeater mode, though, it may not be necessary to modify the domain and subnet node address of the network interface in order to find devices on domains, because the routers will pass valid messages sent on any domain.
Finds all devices in all one-byte domains. This command sends a domain-wide Query ID broadcast in each of the one-byte domains, and then queries all responding devices for their identification. Each new device is added to the device list. This command is useful when you do not know the domain of the devices in the network, and you are not able to physically access the devices in order to press the service pin. It will discover unconfigured and applicationless devices, as well as devices that are configured in the domain of the network interface. This command remembers the domain information in the network interface before the command was started, and rewrites the domain information back into the network interface when the command completes. This command may take a long time to complete. You may interrupt the command by pressing any key on the keyboard. To query for devices configured in a specific domain, use the Set the (D)omain of the Network Interface command before the Find Devices in All (1)-byte Domains command.
Displays the device list, and switches to the device menu. Enter the ID of the device you wish to address. The prompt changes to DEVICE:x>, where x is the ID of the device for the device menu. To return to the main menu, use the (E)xit command.
You can use the device menu to display and update various data structures within a device, and to interact with the device using network variables or application messages. For descriptions of the information displayed by the device menu commands see the FT 3120® / FT 3150® Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products. See The NodeUtil Device Menu for a description of the device menu and its commands.
Displays the main menu. The main menu is also displayed if any unrecognized commands are entered.
Executes a command script. A command script is a text file containing NodeUtil commands. Commands that don't require a carriage return must be on their own line and input that requires a carriage return must be on its own line. NV data is in hex. You can use any file extension, but a common extension is “.scr”.
For example, to add device with a Neuron ID of 112233445566 to the device list with the (A)dd Device to List command, then go to the device (with index 1) with the (G)o to Device Menu command, and finally read the memory from 0xF000 and 0x0100 bytes length with (R)ead Device Memory command, create a text file with the following commands:
A
112233445566
G
1
R
f000
0100
You can optionally execute the script repeatedly.
Displays the NodeUtil device list. You can add devices to the list using any of the methods described in The NodeUtil Main Menu. The list includes the network interface, devices, and routers. For each device (and for each side of a router), the NodeUtil device ID, Neuron ID, and program ID is displayed. The program ID is displayed in hex. It is also displayed in text if it is a text program ID.
Changes the device mode or state for one or all devices. If there is more than one device in the device list, you are prompted to enter a device ID, or to select all devices. The default is all devices, meaning that the mode or state that you select will be changed for all devices in the current domain. See the device Change Device (M)ode or State command for more details.
Redirects all NodeUtil output to a file. You will be prompted for the file name. The default file name extension is .log. If the file already exists, you will be asked if you wish to (O)verwrite the file from the beginning, or (A)ppend output to the end of the file. To stop redirection, enter a null file name. This command is useful for saving the output of any of the other NodeUtil commands.
Sends a service pin message using the NodeUtil network interface.
Restores the contents of the on-chip EEPROM memory of the indicated device to the state it had when the off-chip EPROM was first installed.
Use this command with caution.
This command restores the communications parameters, device state, buffer configuration, and on-chip EEPROM variables. It also re-initializes the domain, address, and network variable configuration tables.
This command does not operate on a Neuron 3120 based device. If the (R)eboot 3150 Device command is executed on the network interface used to run NodeUtil, it will be reconfigured so that it can continue to be used if it is a Neuron 3150 based device.
Sends a message to query the status of the indicated device, and displays the results. If you invoke this command from the main menu, you are prompted to enter a device ID. See the device Report Device (S)tatus and Statistics commands for more details.
Displays the transceiver ID of the network interface, and allows you to set the transceiver ID for network interfaces with software-configurable transceiver IDs. For all network interfaces, this command also allows you to change the transceiver parameters for the network interface. See the device (T)ransceiver Parameters command for more details.
Enables or disables two verbose modes. These are useful for debugging network problems. You can enable or disable verbose mode for network interface messages and for network traffic. If you enable verbose mode for network interface messages, NodeUtil displays the contents of all application buffers going to and coming from the NodeUtil network interface. If you enable verbose mode for network traffic, any incoming message addressed to the application processor on the network interface is displayed. By default, network interface message verbose mode is off, and network traffic verbose mode is on.
Sends the wink message to a device or all devices. If the device has been programmed to respond to this message, it will activate the wink task. When you are prompted to enter a device ID for this command, the default is all devices, meaning that the wink message is sent as a broadcast to all devices configured in the current domain.
Opens a Windows command prompt without losing the device list. Type exit at the command prompt to return to NodeUtil.
After you enter the (G)o to Device Menu command, the following device menu is displayed:
F1-- Show Banner.
A -- Device (A)ddress table.
B -- (B)uffer configuration.
C -- Application (C)onfiguration structures.
D -- Device (D)omain table.
E -- (E)xit this menu and return to main menu.
F -- Configuration (F)iles. **
G -- (G)o to another device.
H -- (H)elp with device commands.
I -- Network variable al(I)as table. **
J -- (J)am network variable type. **

** These commands are not available for the NodeUtil network interface, or for routers.
Type the indicated letter or function key to invoke the corresponding command. You can stop any command by pressing the ESC key. The device menu commands are described in this section. These commands all operate on the selected device, which is displayed in the NodeUtil prompt.
Displays the name and version of the NodeUtil utility.
Displays a selected address table entry or the entire address table for the selected device. For a description of the address table entry fields, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
Displays the buffer configuration of the selected device. For buffer configuration information, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products. After displaying the current buffer configuration, you can change the configuration, one value at a time. For each value, the default value is the current setting. If the value you enter is not a valid value, you will be prompted again, or the next larger valid value will be substituted. At the end of this process, the new configuration will be displayed, and you can accept or cancel the command before the new values are written to the device. If you configure the device to use more RAM than is actually available, the device will most likely crash. If the device is Neuron 3120 based, it may not be recoverable. If it is based on the Neuron 3150, you may be able to recover it with the (R)eboot command. If the device is not recoverable with the reboot command of NodeUtil and the device is based on a Neuron 3150, you can use the EEBLANK program available from hwww.echelon.com/downloads to blank the EEPROM and reboot the default image.
Displays data from the read-only and configuration data structures of the selected device. For a description of these data structures, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
Displays a selected domain table entry or the entire domain table of the selected device.
Exits from the device menu and returns to the main menu. The prompt changes to NodeUtil>.
Reads the configuration file from the selected device and interprets the template. This command is supported only for devices that have a LonMark compliant Node Object functional block which allows for direct memory read access to the configuration file. Enter the index of the SNVT_address network variable which points to the file directory. The template is checked for syntax errors.
Displays the device list, and allows you to select another device for device menu operations. The prompt changes to DEVICE:x>, where x is the ID of the selected device.
Displays the device menu. The device menu is also displayed if any unrecognized commands are entered.
Displays a selected network variable alias table entry or the entire network variable alias table of the selected device.
Displays and optionally sets a network variable type. To change a network variable type, enter the index of the network variable, and then enter the SNVT index of the new type. This command can only be used on Neuron hosted devices which have specified one of the snvt_si_eecode or snvt_si_ramcode Neuron C compiler directives.
Compares the dowloadable image file (.nxe or .ndl extension) contents on the computer and the application image loaded on the device. Any differences are displayed.
Displays the self-documentation and other network variable information available on the selected device, in Neuron C source format. You can save the information in a .hc file. If the device is LonMark certified or LonMark compliant, the device and network variable self-documentation strings are interpreted and checked for errors.
Changes the selected device's mode or state. You can reset the device, change the application mode to online or offline, or change the device state to applicationless, unconfigured, configured, or hard offline. For a description of these modes and states, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
If the device is a router, you can also set the router type to configured, learning, bridge, or repeater.
Displays a selected network variable configuration table entry or the entire network variable configuration table of the selected device. For a description of the network variable configuration table structure and its elements, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
Redirects all NodeUtil output to a file. You will be prompted for the file name. The default file extension is .log. If the file already exists, you can specify whether to overwrite the file from the beginning or append output to the end of the existing file. To stop redirection, enter an empty file name. This command is useful for saving the output of any of the other NodeUtil commands.
Fetches the value of a selected network variable, or every network variable on the selected device. Enter the index of the network variable on the device, or just press the ENTER key to fetch all network variables on the selected device. The network variable values are displayed in hex bytes, and may be further interpreted depending on length.
Sends a LonTalk message to the selected device. You can specify the service type (acknowledged, unacknowledged, request/response, or repeated), whether to use authentication or not, message code, and data to send.
Displays the memory contents of the selected device. You can specify the starting address in hex and the number of bytes to read in hex. The memory contents is displayed in hex bytes. Use the Redirect (O)utput to a File command before the (R)ead Device Memory command to save the output to a file.
Sends a message to query the status of the selected device, and displays the results. For a description of the meanings of the returned values, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products. If the selected device is a router, additional information is displayed including the router type. For a description of the meanings of these router-specific values, see the LonWorks Router User’s Guide available from www.echelon.com/products.
You will then be given an opportunity to clear the status of the device, which clears the error counters, the reset cause and the last error logged.
Displays the transceiver (communications) parameters of the selected device. The information displayed will depend on the transceiver type. For a description of the meanings of these values, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
If the selected device is a network interface that supports changing the input clock, you will then be prompted to change the input clock rate by selecting from a menu. The choices are 5, 10, and 20 MHz. You will then be given an opportunity to change the transceiver parameters by selecting from a menu. The choices depend on the Neuron input clock rate.
NodeUtil does not support changing the transceiver parameters for devices with input clocks less than 5 MHz.
If the device implements transceiver ID (XID) pins, you will typically not be able to change the interface bit rate or the transceiver type (differential, single-ended or special-purpose). To change types of devices, you must physically set the value read from the XID pins to 30 decimal, or 1E hex first.
Selecting incorrect communications parameters may make it impossible to communicate with the device over the network. If the device contains a 3120 chip, it may not be recoverable. If it is contains a 3150 chip, you will be able to recover it using the EEBLANK program available from www.echelon.com/downloads.
Updates an input network variable on the selected device. Enter the index of the network variable. The data from the last network variable update to the selected network variable is displayed. At the prompt, enter the data to be sent to the network variable in hex bytes. Separate each pair of hex digits with a space, and enter all the required data on one line. The data values for any bytes that you do not enter after the first character default to zero. For example, you can enter 01 00 00 or just enter 1 to set a SNVT_switch_2 input to on. Press ENTER without any characters to cancel the update. For example, you can enter 00 00 00 or just enter 0 to set a SNVT_switch_2 input to off, but if you just press the ENTER key without entering any data, the input value is not changed.
You can use the Set (D)omain command to configure the NodeUtil network interface with a domain and authentication key to match those of the destination device if the network variable has been configured as authenticated
Enables or disables two verbose modes. These are useful for debugging network problems. You can enable or disable verbose mode for network interface messages and for network traffic. If you enable verbose mode for network interface messages, NodeUtil displays the contents of all application buffers going to and coming from the NodeUtil network interface. If you enable verbose mode for network traffic, any incoming message addressed to the application processor on the network interface is displayed. By default, network interface message verbose mode is off, and network traffic verbose mode is on.
Write to the memory of the selected device. You can specify the starting address in hex. The contents of the memory address you specify are displayed in hex. Enter a new value for the location in hex and then press the ENTER key. Just press the ENTER key to leave the value unchanged. To stop entering data, enter any value that is not a hex character such as a period (.), and then press ENTER.
If you change any of the data in memory, you will be given the opportunity to update both the application and configuration checksums, or just the configuration checksum. For a description of which data structures are part of each of these checksums, see the FT 3120 / FT 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book or the PL 3120 / PL 3150 Smart Transceiver Data Book available from www.echelon.com/products.
The device should be in the applicationless state before you change any of the application image memory, otherwise the device will report an application checksum error. Similarly, the device should be in the applicationless or unconfigured state before you change any of the network image memory, otherwise the device will report a configuration checksum error.
Creates a version 3 device interface file (.xif extension) for the selected device. You can enter a file name for the XIF file. If the device has an alphanumeric program ID, this ID is the default filename. If output redirection is in effect, the current output file is closed before creating the XIF file. You can use the generated XIF file with any Echelon or third-party LNS tool, including the LonMaker Integration Tool.
Download a Neuron application image file to the selected device. You can specify an application image file (.ndl or .nxe extension) that is generated by the NodeBuilder or Mini EVK tools. If the device already contains an alphanumeric application ID, this name is the default for the application image file name.
If the download was successful, you will then be asked if you want to set the device configured, online. Answer yes to this question only if the device already contains a valid network configuration for this application. By default, the device will be set to the unconfigured state. After setting the state, NodeUtil reads the state of the device and displays any errors.
This command does not check that the application image file that you are loading is compatible with the device hardware configuration. Before loading an application to a device, verify that the application image file was linked using the correct Neuron model and firmware version for your target device. For Neuron 3150 based devices, also verify that the application image file was linked using the correct memory map for the device.
If an incompatible application image file is loaded to a device, the device may start watchdog resetting. You may be able to recover it by downloading a compatible application image file. If not, you can recover Neuron 3150 based devices using the EEBLANK utility available from www.echelon.com/downloads. However, Neuron 3120 based devices may be totally unrecoverable.
If you attempt to set the device to the configured state after loading, but the device does not contain a valid network configuration for this application, then the Neuron firmware will detect a configuration checksum error and set the device to be unconfigured.
