Echelon SmartServer 2.2 - Manual (Page 237)

238 Using the SmartServer as Network Management Tool
firmware that consists of the object code generated by the Neuron C
compiler from the user’s application program and contains other
application-specific parameters, including the following:

Network variable fixed and self-identification data

Network variable external interface data

Program ID string

Optional self-identification and self-documentation data

Number of address table entries

Number of domain table entries

Number and size of network buffers

Number and size of application buffers

Number of receive transaction records

Input clock speed of target Neuron Chip
To have the SmartServer automatically download to a device an
application image file that matches the device’s program ID, select the
Smart Network Management check box and click Submit.
To manually download an application image file to one or more devices,
select an application image file from the Select File dialog that appears
when you click the box to the right, select the Smart Network
Management check box to the left, and then click Submit. See
Upgrading Devices for more information on selecting an application
image file from this dialog.
Alternatively, you can manually download an application into or one or
more devices by selecting the device or devices, right-clicking one device,
pointing to Manage, and then clicking Download Image in the shortcut
menu.
Template Displays the full path of the device interface (.XIF or .XML file) loaded
on the SmartServer. The device interface (XIF) is the logical interface to
a device. A device’s device interface specifies the number and types of
functional blocks, and the number, types, directions, and connection
attributes of data points. The program ID field is used as the key to
identify each device interface. Each program ID uniquely defines the
static portion of the interface. However, two devices with identical static
portions may differ if dynamic data points are added or removed, or if the
types of changeable data points are modified. Thus it is possible to have
devices with the same program ID but different device interfaces.
To load an device interface file that matches the device’s program ID onto
the SmartServer, select the Smart Network Management check box and
click Submit.
To manually load a device interface file onto the SmartServer, select a
device interface file from the Select File dialog that appears when you
click the box to the right, select the Smart Network Management check
box to the left, and then click Submit. See the previous section, Creating
L
ON W ORKS Devices, for more information on selecting a device interface
for a device.
Alternatively, you can load a device interface file for one or more devices
onto the SmartServer by selecting the device or devices, right-clicking one
device, pointing to Manage, and then clicking Activate Template in the
shortcut menu.
Write
Configuration Writes the default configuration property values that are stored in the
device interface specified in the Template property to the application
device.
