SLTA 10 Serial LonTalk
®
Adapter
BEFORE INSTALLATION
The SLTA-10 (Serial Interface or Serial LonTalk
®
Adapter)
provides communication between the L
ONWORKS® Bus and
either a PC serial port or approved modem using the SLTA-10
EIA-232 port. The SLTA-10 Q7760A2001 operates with the
Light Commercial Building Solution and the Excel 10 series
2000 family of controllers. It interfaces with L
ONSPEC™,
L
ONSTATION™, LONSTAT™, and E-Vision software. The
SLTA-10 Q7752A1011 operates with the Excel 10 VAV1 series
1000 controller and interfaces with LiveCare software.
There are two separate firmware images in the SLTA-10. The
two separate images have different link layer protocols,
network drivers, buffer capacity, and functionality. The two
modes of operation are SLTA-10 NSI mode and SLTA-10 MIP
mode. An externally accessible DIP switch at power-up
controls the mode of operation.
In SLTA-10 MIP mode, the SLTA-10 is a replacement for the
SLTA/2 Serial LonTalk
®
Adapter, with an improved form factor.
The network connector on the SLTA-10 is the orange
removable screw terminal instead of the RJ-45 used on the
SLTA/2. The SLTA-10 input power options include 9 to 30 Vac
or Vdc, or a 9 Vdc power supply. The SLTA-10 configuration
DIP switches are accessible externally. The SLTA-10
enclosure has been improved to allow wall mounting without
requiring a bracket.
CONFIGURING THE SLTA-10
HARDWARE
The SLTA-10 can be configured for direct communications
with a PC serial port, or remote communications with a
modem. Configure the SLTA-10 with its eight configuration
switches on the adapters switch block (S1). The SLTA-10
firmware reads these switches to configure or enable features.
Changes to the switch configurations do not occur until power
is cycled on the SLTA-10. The switches are read immediately
after a power reset. The configurations for Direct and Remote
are different, see their separate sections.

1. Set the switches for direct connection to an PC serial
port as shown in Fig. 1.

2. Cycle power to enable the new configuration on the
SLTA-10.
Drivers
• NodeTalk: LONSPEC™, LONSTATION™, and LONSTAT™ use
the NodeTalk driver to manage SLTA-10 communications.
The NodeTalk driver is built into the software.
• LDVSLTA.SYS: E-Vision and LiveCare use the
LDVSLTA.SYS driver to manage SLTA-10 communication.
This driver has not changed, and is included with both
E-Vision and LiveCare. The Config.sys must be modified to
call this driver. Add a line to Config.sys similar to
Device=C:\E-Vision\ldvslta.sys /D1 /P1 /A.
NOTE: /Pn (n can be 1 or 2) determines the COM port.
/A means autobaud.
Remote Connections
Remote communication configurations vary greatly between
the Light Commercial Building Solution and the Excel 10
controllers. Both systems require an approved modem
connected to the EIA-232 port on the SLTA-10 with an SLTA
modem cable (Honeywell part number 32002517-001; DB-9
male to DB-25 male non-standard). The PC must have the
same modem. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: Do not select AutoBaud for remote connections.
