Using the SmartServer Web Interface

You can click Driver to open the Setup – LON Device Driver Web page. You can use this Web page
to manage the device completely, from acquiring its Neuron ID and changing its configuration and
application state to selecting an application image to download to the device and activating a new
device interface (XIF) file for the device.

The use of these modes is similar for networks, channels, and functional blocks not representing the
SmartServer’s applications as you use Driver mode to configure these objects. However, it is slightly
different for functional blocks representing the SmartServer applications and data points.

Accessing SmartServer Functional Blocks in General and Driver Modes

In General mode, you can click a functional block representing a SmartServer application to open the
Web page for that application. For example, you can configure the SmartServer’s real-time clock by
clicking General and then clicking the Real-Time Clock functional block under the i.LON App
(Internal)
device. The functional blocks for the SmartServer’s Digital Input, Digital Output, and
Real-Time Clock applications are shown in the tree by default. The functional blocks for all other
SmartServer applications (Alarm Generator, Alarm Notifier, Data Logger, Pulse Meter, and Scheduler)
are initially hidden in the tree. See Opening SmartServer Applications in this chapter for more
information.
