Echelon SmartServer 2.2 - Manual (Page 235)

236 Using the SmartServer as Network Management Tool
The program ID is assigned by the device manufacturer for an external
device, and it is assigned the 16 internal devices on the SmartServer. You
cannot change this property for external devices. Devices with the same
program ID must have the same device interface.
You can select Smart Network Management to have the SmartServer
fetch a device’s program ID automatically. Alternatively, you can fetch
the program IDs for one or more devices by selecting the devices,
right-clicking one device, pointing to Manage, and then clicking Fetch
Program ID in the shortcut menu.
Maximum Number
of Dynamic
Functional Blocks Displays the maximum number of dynamic functional blocks that you can
add to the device.
A dynamic functional block is a functional block that is not pre-loaded on
a device. Devices that support dynamic functional blocks include
controllers that do not have a static interface. For example, the v40
SmartServer interface, which has a dynamic interface, supports a
maximum of 500 dynamic functional blocks.
Maximum Number
of Dynamic Data
Points Displays the maximum number of dynamic network variables/data points
that you can add to the device.
A dynamic network variable/data point can be added to a functional block
after the device has been commissioned. Devices that support dynamic
network variables/data points include controllers and gateways with
dynamic interfaces. For example, the v40 SmartServer interface, which
has a dynamic interface, supports a maximum of 3000 dynamic network
variables/data points.
Geographical
Position Displays the waypoint of the device. A waypoint is a set of coordinates
(latitude and longitude) that identifies the device’s location in physical
space. Typically, waypoints are acquired with a GPS and then uploaded
to the SmartServer using SOAP/HTTP messages over the console port.
Alternatively, you can manually enter the waypoint in this field or enter a
descriptive string that uniquely identifies the device location (for example,
the light pole number of a luminaire in a street lighting network).
Location ID Displays the 6-byte hexadecimal location string that documents the
device’s location within the network.
Primary Address
(Domain.Subnet.
Node) Displays the domain ID of the network, and the subnet and node IDs
assigned to the device by the OpenLNS Server when the device is created.
The subnet/node ID is used for addressing messages. The subnet ID
identifies the channel (subnet) on which the device resides, and the node
ID identifies the device on that channel.
The subnet/node IDs begin with an address of 1/1 and increase
sequentially to 1/2, 1/3, and so on for devices on the same channel
(subnet). For a second channel created on the network, the subnet/node
IDs would begin with an address of 2/1 and increase sequentially to 2/2,
2/3, and so on.
Secondary
Address
(Domain.Subnet.
Node) If the device is a member of another network, displays the domain ID of
that network and the device’s subnet and node ID on it.
