4. Configuring the FieldServer as a Lutron eLumen Client
For a detailed discussion on FieldServer configuration, please refer to the FieldServer
Configuration Manual. The information that follows describes how to expand upon the
factory defaults provided in the configuration files included with the FieldServer (See
“.csv” sample files provided with the FieldServer).
This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the
FieldServer to communicate with a Lutron eLumen Server
1.03 Data Arrays/Descriptors
The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of
data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for Lutron eLumen
communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in
the “Data Arrays” section, the destination device addresses need to be declared in
the “Client Side Nodes” section, and the data required from the Servers needs to be
mapped in the “Client Side Map Descriptors” section. Details on how to do this can
be found below.
Note that in the tables, * indicates an optional parameter, with the bold legal value
being the default.
