control networks and
IzoT networks. Installing the IzoT Network Services Server on the same computer
with the OpenLNS Commissioning Tool converts the OpenLNS Commissioning Tool
to an IzoT Commissioning Tool. The product names referenced by the OpenLNS
Server and the OpenLNS Commissioning Tool are not all updated to the new IzoT
names by the IzoT Network Services Server. You will see references to both sets of
names in the software and documentation.
Based on Echelon's OpenLNS network operating system, the Izot Commissioning
Tool combines support for open L

control networks and IzoT networks
with a user-friendly Microsoft Visio interface. The result is a software tool that’s
robust enough to work with all your devices, yet economical enough to leave behind
as an operations and maintenance tool. The IzoT Commissioning Tool complies with
the OpenLNS plug-in standard, and it is compatible with the LNS plug-in standard,
making it compatible with the wide variety of plug-ins available from Echelon and
many other vendors.
