hidden or shown in the tree.
In Driver mode, opens the Setup - LON Network Driver page. You can
use this page to switch between LNS or standalone management services,
select the network management mode (OnNet or OffNet), select an
OpenLNS network database to be synchronized to the SmartServer network,
manually synchronize the SmartServer network to an OpenLNS network
database (if you create, delete, rename a network object other than a data
point, or you configure an OpenLNS network database while the
SmartServer is offline), and set the domain length and ID.
You can also use this page to enter an optional description of the network,
and change the icon used to represent the network in the tree, and select
whether the network is hidden or shown in the tree.
Paste External This option is only available in the SmartServer tree when there are one or
more remote SmartServers on the LAN, and it only appears after you have
used the Copy External <object> on an object in the OpenLNS tree. Adds
an object copied from the OpenLNS tree and all of its parent and child
objects to the network tree of the target SmartServer.
If you click this command after copying a channel or device in the
OpenLNS tree and there are one or more devices on the channel that do not
already exist in the local SmartServer’s internal database, the Omit FBs?
dialog opens. By default, only the device is copied to the SmartServer tree.
Click Omit FBs to accept the default and copy only the device, or click
Copy All to also copy the functional blocks and data points on the device to
the SmartServer tree. The time required to complete the copy operation
depends on the number of functional blocks and data points on the device.
If you click Copy All to copy the device and all of its functional blocks and
data points to the SmartServer tree, and there are more items than can be
cached by your Web browser, the Automatic Submit? dialog opens. Click
Auto Submit to continue copying the items to the SmartServer tree, or click
Lose Changes to stop the copy operation. If you click Auto Submit,
additional copies from the OpenLNS tree will be sent to the local
SmartServer tree when a batch is ready.
For example, you can copy a device and paste it to a channel branch in a
SmartServer tree. The device, its parent channel (if different than the
selected channel), and optionally its functional block and data points are
added to the network tree. You can then use the target SmartServer to
manage the objects.
Note: The target SmartServer must be synchronized with the OpenLNS
network database in which the copied object is stored in order to perform
this operation.
Rename This option is only available in the SmartServer tree. Opens the Enter Name
dialog where you can enter a new name for the network. You can only
rename the network when the SmartServer is operating in Standalone mode.
Delete This option is only available in the OpenLNS tree. Permanently removes
the OpenLNS network database from the OpenLNS Server on which it is
stored.
Add Channel In the SmartServer tree, opens a shortcut menu from which you select the
type of channel to create on the network (LON, MODBUS, M-BUS, or
Virtual) and then enter a name for the channel in the Enter Name dialog.
In the OpenLNS tree, opens the Enter Name dialog where you enter a name
