command on any network object in the target SmartServer tree (if the target
SmartServer is synchronized with the OpenLNS database in which the
copied objects are stored). After the copied objects are pasted to the
SmartServer tree, they can be managed with the target SmartServer.
Paste External This option is only available in the SmartServer tree, 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.
For example, you can copy a data point and paste it to a functional block
branch in a SmartServer tree. The data point, and its parent channel, device,
and functional block (if different than the selected functional block and its
parent channel and device) 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.
Add Data Point Opens the Add Data Point dialog in which you select a static network
variable defined by the device interface (XIF) file, or create a dynamic
network variable from a standard or user-defined network
variable/configuration property type (SNVT, SCPT, UNVT, or UCPT).
Overview Opens a shortcut menu that includes options for opening Overview Web
pages for the data points and bindings (Web connections in the SmartServer
tree or L
ON W ORKS connections in the OpenLNS tree) in the network. See
Chapter 5 for more information on using the Overview Web pages.
Synchronize with
LNS Transmits changes made to the functional block in the SmartServer tree to
the OpenLNS network database, and updates the SmartServer’s internal
database with changes made to the functional block with OpenLNS CT,
OpenLNS tree, or other OpenLNS application. This option is only available
in the SmartServer tree. This synchronization updates the LON driver
properties of the functional block (for example, description) in the
SmartServer’s internal database.
Refresh This option is only available in the OpenLNS tree. Updates the data points
displayed under the functional block in the OpenLNS tree.
