To use IzoT Commissioning Tool on a remote lightweight client follow these steps:

1. Prepare for Remote Operations.

a. Copy any custom stencils that you will need to the OpenLNS CT drawing folder on the

OpenLNS Server computer.

b. Back up the OpenLNS CT drawing for the network you will be using and all other files in the

drawing directory. See Backing Up an IzoT Commissioning Tool Network Design in Chapter
7, Maintaining Networks, for instructions.

c. Save the IzoT Commissioning Tool backup file to a shared network folder. If you do not

have a shared network folder, save the backup file to a CD, DVD, floppy disk, or other
storage media.

2. Start the OpenLNS Server application.

a. Ensure that the OpenLNS Server computer is not set up to go into standby mode. Standby

mode will prevent communication with remote clients.

and then select IzoT Commissioning Tool. The IzoT Commissioning Tool Design Manager
opens.

c. Choose the OpenLNS network database you want to open from the Database Name list and

click Start OpenLNS Server. The Network Interfaces dialog box opens.

d. Select the OpenLNS Network Interface or an IP-852 Network Interface you want to use to

connect to the L

ORKS

channel. Click OK. The OpenLNS Server dialog opens.

3. Copy the IzoT Commissioning Tool backup file that you created in step 1 to the remote

lightweight client.

4. Start IzoT Commissioning Tool on the remote lightweight client. Click Start on the taskbar, point

to Programs, point to Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool, and then select IzoT Commissioning
Tool. The IzoT Commissioning Tool Design Manager opens.

5. Restore the OpenLNS CT drawings from the backup you created in step 1. See Restoring an IzoT

Commissioning Tool Network in Chapter 7, Maintaining Networks, for instructions. After
restoring the drawing files, a prompt opens asking whether you want to open the network drawing.
