FX
Protocol Analyzer
Troubleshoot Your Network with Ease
The LonScanner FX Protocol Analyzer is an easy-to-use
Windows tool that lets manufacturers, system integrators,
and end users observe, analyze, and diagnose the behavior
of LonWorks® networks. It provides the advanced productiv-
ity features common in data network analyzers, adapted to
the unique needs of control networks.
LonScanner FX simplifies network maintenance by collecting, time-
stamping, and saving all network communications into log files that
can be viewed and analyzed. Multiple logs and network interfaces can be
active at the same time, making it easy to collect packets from multiple
sources in a multichannel network, or from multiple networks.
Features
Network Analysis Functions
• Captures, analyzes, characterizes, and displays all ISO/IEC 14908-1 packets on a
channel, letting you analyze network activity and traffic patterns in detail.
• Supports receive filters that reduce the amount of logged data, helping you
isolate problems faster.
• Receive filters can be based on packets to or from specific devices or network
variables, and on packets using selected ISO/IEC 14908-1 protocol services.
• Saves all packets to log files.
• Summarizes network activity with summary statistics calculated from the
received packets.
• Compatible with native ISO/IEC 14908-1 channels.
• Compatible with IP-852 channels (ISO/IEC 14908-4); IP-852 support requires
a separately licensed LNS® Turbo Server on the same computer; IP-852
monitoring limited to packets forwarded to the LonScanner computer.

Packet Displays
• Summary data log display with one
packet per line.
• Highlights related packets to
simplify log analysis.
• Displays device addresses, network
variable addresses, and network
variable data in raw form, providing
compatibility with any network.
• Displays device and network
variable names, as well as network
addresses based on user definitions
or based on names from any LNS
network database, including those
generated by the LonMaker®
Integration Tool.
• Simplifies data interpretation by
formatting network variable values
based on LonMark® resource files.
• Provides text descriptions of each
message and a description of the
ISO/IEC 14908-1 protocol services
used to transmit it.
• Eliminates the need to manually
interpret the ones and zeros of the
ISO/IEC 14908-1 protocol.
• Multiple network interfaces can be
active at the same time.
• Supports remote LAN or Internet
connection to SmartServers and
i.LON servers.
• Supports network interface sharing
with LNS applications, including the
LonMaker tool.
• A LonScanner FX Activation Key
can be used to convert the Demo
Edition to a Professional Edition.
• The Professional Edition and the
Activation Key are each available
in a single-user version and a
5-Pack version for use by up to
five users. Each user can install the
LonScanner software on a primary
and a secondary computer for non-
simultaneous use by the same user.
With a list price that’s less than the
list price of two copies of the single-
user version, the 5-Packs provide
a low-cost solution for multiple
integrators in a branch office. Users
can share a network interface such
as the Echelon U10 USB Network
Interface by moving the network
interface among the five computers,
or each user can purchase a single
network interface for simultaneous
use on up to five computers.
