Issue
Choosing the wrong shape from the Loytec stencil set for L-IP and L-Switch routers can result in devices on the far side not coming online even though the Loytec routers are apparently configured correctly.
Environment
Vista, Lonmaker
Cause
Loytec provide a set of Visio shapes for use with their L-IP and L-Switch devices in Lonmaker. Each device has two shapes associated with it - a (Router) and a (Switch).
The (Switch) shape should only be used if the Loytec device is to be used in "Smart Switch Mode". If the (Switch) shape is used with a Loytec device intended for use in "Configured Router Mode" it will not work, even though the device properties are correctly configured in Lonmaker and the DIP switches on the device are correctly set (DIP1 OFF and DIP2 OFF).
Resolution
For a Loytec device to be used in "Configured Router Mode", choose the appropriate (Router) shape, set the Router Type of the selected port to "Configured" (each port must be set individually) and ensure the DIP switches are correctly positioned (DIP1 OFF and DIP2 OFF)
