Using the SmartServer as Network Management Tool

3. Set the following synchronization options:

Synchronize All Internal
SmartServer Items

Synchronizes all internal items in the SmartServer’s
internal database, including hidden items, with the

The SmartServer’s internal App device and its
child functional blocks and data points.

Selecting this option also transmits changes made to
the LON driver properties of the internal items in the
SmartServer tree to the OpenLNS network database,

internal items with OpenLNS CT, OpenLNS tree, or

This option is cleared by default, which means that the

dynamic network variables on them.

Deletion of the SmartServer App device’s
functional blocks.
