store the result in an output point, which can be used to control one or more actuator devices.

Using Type Translators. Describes how to use the Type Translator application on the
SmartServer to connect devices with different data types. It describes how to use and create
scalar-based translations to directly convert an input data point with one type to an output data
point with another type. It explains how to use and create rule-based translations that merge
multiple input points to create one output point, split one input point to create multiple output
points, and split a structured data point into its individual fields.

Using the SmartServer with OpenLNS CT. Describes how to install the SmartServer with
OpenLNS CT and the LonMaker Turbo Integration Tool, maintain synchronization between the
SmartServer and a OpenLNS CT drawing, and launch the SmartServer’s built-in applications from
a OpenLNS CT drawing. Describes how to link the network variables of external devices in a
OpenLNS CT drawing (formerly referred to as “NVEs”) to the SmartServer’s built-in applications
and custom SmartServer Web pages after synchronizing the SmartServer to an OpenLNS network
database.

Appendices: Provides information for troubleshooting and managing the SmartServer; using the
