Street Light Bridge Integrator’s Guide 

       iii 

Intelligent street lighting uses electronic ballasts, power line communications 

hardware, and local network controllers that are interconnected with specialized 
control and reporting software.  A street lighting network establishes two-way 

communications with each lighting fixture so that you can control the lighting 

level of each fixture, turn it on and off, and monitor its condition. 

The luminaires in a street lighting network use a L

 power line 

communications channel for the network, which is managed by an Echelon 

i

.LON

®

 SmartServer, known as the Segment Controller because it controls 

segments of the street lighting network.  To extend the network across low-

voltage step-down distribution transformers, Echelon introduces a power line and 
radio frequency (RF) wireless hybrid device, the Street Light Bridge module.   
This document describes the elements of the Echelon street lighting solution, 

including the Street Light Bridge module and the Segment Controller.   

This document assumes that you understand basic networking and that you have 

some experience working with an 

i

.LON SmartServer.  It also assumes that you 

understand the basics of a low-voltage power distribution network. 

The following manuals are available from the Echelon Web site 

) and provide additional information that can help you manage 

a street lighting network:

If the wide-are network (WAN) Card will be integrated into an American 

National Standards Institute (ANSI) Internet protocol (IP) Meter, and used 

within the United States of America, then the complete ANSI IP Meter (including 
the WAN Card) must comply with United States Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC) regulations.  In addition, the accompanying documentation
