Using the SmartServer Web Interface
Using the SmartServer Web Interface
The SmartServer Web interface includes a dynamic navigation pane that you use to operate the
SmartServer. The tree appears in the left frame of the SmartServer Web pages and represents the LAN
on which your local SmartServer resides.
The following graphic serves as a quick reference (cheat sheet) for using the SmartServer navigation
pane. It is based on a SmartServer that has initially been set to its factory default settings, and then has
had four SmartServer applications (functional blocks), one external device, and an OpenLNS Server
added to it. A data point has been added to the Scheduler application. The items displayed in the
navigation pane will vary based on many factors, including whether your SmartServer is operating in
Standalone or LNS mode, whether IP-852 routing is activated on your SmartServer, the network
objects that you have added, deleted, or hidden, and so on. The icons used to represent some network
objects will change if you use the SmartServer is LNS mode. For example, the network icon in the
SmartServer tree will change to an OpenLNS network database icon when you synchronize the
SmartServer to an OpenLNS network database, and the SmartServer App device icon will change to a
generic device icon.
This section describes the items in the navigation pane, and the subsequent sections explain how to use
the navigation pane to perform tasks such as using the General and Driver modes, opening the
SmartServer’s applications and adding data points to them, the commands you can perform on the
network objects in the navigation pane, and setting options for configuring the navigation pane.
Note: The icon used to represent the SmartServer App device (
) was updated in the SmartServer
2.2 release. All other screen shots in this document, and all other documents in the SmartServer 2.2
document suite, display the original icon for the SmartServer App device (
).
The host devices accessible from your local SmartServer’s Ethernet connection are listed under LAN.
Host devices include your local SmartServer and may include remote SmartServers, OpenLNS Servers
(if you install Echelon Enterprise Services 2.2 from the SmartServer 2.2 DVD), e-mail (SMTP)
servers, time (SNTP) servers, IP-852 Configuration Servers, and Web Connection Target servers.
