How do I setup Lonworks communication to Powerlink G3 panels?

Issue:
How do I setup Lonworks communication to Powerlink G3 panels?

Product Line:
Powerlink Lighting Control
NF Panelboards

Environment:
Commercial Building

Cause:
Need to connect Powerlink to Lonworks based Building Automation System.

Resolution:
Lonworks is not supported on Powerlink G3.  In order to put Powerlink G3 on a Lonworks network, one must use a third-party Gateway device to convert Lonworks to either Modbus or BACnet.

Supported Communications by Model:
NF500G3:  Modbus ASCII/RTU
NF1000G3:  Modbus ASCII/RTU, DMX512. N2*
NF2000G3:   Modbus ASCII/RTU, Modbus TCP, DMX512. BACnet
NF3000G3:   Modbus ASCII/RTU, Modbus TCP, DMX512. BACnet, Cbus**

* Johnson Controls N2 was supported on a special NF1000G3N2 controller.  As of 2014, this controller is in obsolesence.
** Cbus on RS232 serial port is supported on the NF3000G3C
