19. 1 Overview Version 3 1 The L Proxy is a high performance network infrastructure component for CEA 709 networks It is the first device that allows network variable bindings across multiple domains SNVT translation address table expansion for CEA 709 nodes firewall security etc The L Proxy provides five communication ports and it translates packets between these ports Available ports are two FT ports and three IP 852 ports The three IP 852 ports are connecting to an IP 852 backbone channel The L Proxy s unique architecture very much supports well defined interfaces between various subsystems like HVAC lighting and security in a typical building Easy to understand diagnostic LEDs allow installers and system integrators to install and troubleshoot this device without expert knowledge and dedicated troubleshooting tools The basic operation of L Proxy is to take an input network variable NV or configuration property CP on one side interpret the data in the variable and transmit a corresponding output network variable on the other side This concept is used to solve a great amount of today s communication problems in CEA 709 networks as explained in the following chapters The device is fully compliant with ANSI CEA 709 and ANSI CEA 852 A EN 14908 Network variables NVs in the CEA 709 network can also be operated as external NVs External NVs are polled or explicitly written to without allocating static or dynamic NVs on t
