Installing the NodeUtil Node Utility
Before you install the NodeUtil Node Utility, perform the following tasks:
1. Install version 3.3C or later of the OpenLDV network driver, if you do not
already have it. You can download the latest OpenLDV network driver
from www.echelon.com/openldv.
2. If you are using an Echelon network interface that needs a driver in
addition to the OpenLDV driver, verify that the appropriate driver is
installed. The ReadMe file for the OpenLDV network driver lists the
network interfaces that require separate drivers.
3. Configure your network interface driver, if required. See the
documentation for your selected network interface for details.
4. Install the StdXcvr.xml file, if you do not already have it. This file is
automatically installed by many Echelon applications, such as the
LonMaker Integration Tool, the NodeBuilder
