OpenLNS network database, which contains only the default “OpenLNS network Interface” and the
default “Channel 1”) or if it is an existing database with other OpenLNS objects in it.

If the OpenLNS network database is new (empty), the following changes are made to it:
o The domain length and domain ID properties in the database are changed to those currently
used by the network attached to the SmartServer;
o The default “Channel 1” in the database is re-named to the name of the first L
ON W ORKS
channel on the SmartServer tree. The transceiver type in the database is changed to the one
used on the first L
ON W ORKS channel on the SmartServer.
o All other L
ON W ORKS channels and devices on the SmartServer tree are merged into the
database.
Note: If there are any naming conflicts between the SmartServer and the OpenLNS network
database, the OpenLNS network database has precedence. For example, if the i.LON App
(Internal) device is named “iLON SmartServer- 1” in the OpenLNS network database, then it will
be re-named to “iLON SmartServer- 1” in the SmartServer tree after the synchronization.

If the OpenLNS network database is an existing OpenLNS network database with other LNS
objects in (not empty), all the L
ON W ORKS channels and devices on the SmartServer tree are
merged into the database. The domain length and domain ID properties in the OpenLNS network
database are not changed.
To synchronize the SmartServer to a new or existing OpenLNS network database, follow these steps:
1. If you do not need to save the current configurations of the SmartServer’s built-in applications,
restore your SmartServer to its factory default settings as described in Restoring a SmartServer to
Factory Default Settings in Chapter 3.
2. To preserve the current configurations of the SmartServer’s built-in applications before
synchronizing the SmartServer to a different OpenLNS network database, follow these steps:
a. Delete all external devices that you do not want in the new database. To do this, right-click
the external device to be deleted or select multiple devices to be deleted in the SmartServer
tree and then click Delete in the shortcut menu.
b. The Keep LNS Copy? dialog opens.
