3. Optionally, in the Domain Length property, you can enter a different domain ID length, which
may be 1, 3, or 6 bytes. The default is 6 bytes. The zero-byte domain is reserved and cannot be
used as the network’s domain.
4. Optionally, in the Domain ID property, you can enter a different domain ID in hexadecimal
notation. If you enter an ID that has fewer bytes than that specified in the Domain Length box,
the domain ID is padded with leading zeroes.
5. Click Submit. A dialog appears informing you that the SmartServer is being switched to
standalone mode.
It may take up to a few minutes for the SmartServer to switch to standalone mode. When the
SmartServer has switched to standalone mode, the dialog closes and you can continue using your
SmartServer to manage the network.
Automatically Synchronizing the SmartServer to an OpenLNS network
Database
You can synchronize the SmartServer to an OpenLNS network database automatically using LNS
Auto mode. In LNS Auto mode, the SmartServer independently initiates communication with an
OpenLNS network database via the LNS Proxy Web service, and directly sends network configuration
changes made in the SmartServer tree to the OpenLNS network database. This mode requires the port
on the OpenLNS Server computer selected for the LNS Proxy Web service (port 80 by default) to also
be opened on any firewalls blocking the SmartServer’s access to the OpenLNS Server computer. The
following figure illustrates how the SmartServer communicates with the OpenLNS network databases
in LNS Auto mode.
