the SmartServer tree to the OpenLNS network
database, and it updates the SmartServer’s internal
database with any changes made to the LON driver
properties of the external items with OpenLNS CT,
OpenLNS tree, or other OpenLNS application.
This option is cleared by default, which means that the
SmartServer sends only changes made to the external
items in the SmartServer tree to the OpenLNS network
database. In addition, the SmartServer’s internal
database is updated only with any changes made to the
names of external devices or functional blocks with
OpenLNS CT.
4. Click Start.
5. The Items to be Synced property lists the number of items in the SmartServer tree to be updated.
This number counts down as the synchronization operations progresses. When the
synchronization operation has been completed, this number is 0. You can click Close anytime to
return to the SmartServer Web interface and continue using the SmartServer during the
synchronization.
Notes:

You can view the progress of the synchronization in the navigation pane. To do this, click
Settings to open the Global Settings dialog, and then select the Show Synchronization
Progress in Tree check box. This adds a synchronization status bar to the right of the
network icon in the SmartServer tree that displays the current ratio of items that have already
been synchronized to the total number of items being synchronized.
 You can view a log of the current synchronization in the SmartServer’s console application.
To view the sync log, enter the trace 2 command. For more information on the SmartServer
console application, see Appendix B, Using the SmartServer Console Application.
Manually Synchronizing Individual Items
If one or more items in the SmartServer tree lose synchronization with the OpenLNS network
database, you can manually synchronize them to the OpenLNS network database. This
synchronization operation automatically updates the LON driver properties of the selected items (for
example, timing parameters of a channel, commission and application statuses of a device, format
description of a data point) in the SmartServer’s internal database.
To synchronize one item, right-click the item (channel, device, functional block, or data point) in the
target SmartServer tree, and then click Synchronize with LNS in the shortcut menu to synchronize the
item.
