7. Optionally, under Event Calendar Effective Period and Event Scheduler Effective Period, you

can configure the period of time for which the Event Calendar and Event Scheduler are active,
respectively. By default, both are active for a 37-year period starting on January 1, 2000 and
ending December 31, 2037. To configure a different effective period, specify the Start Date and
Stop Date. If you clear the check box, the default 37-year effective period is used.

8. By default, the Suppress Event Recovery check box is cleared. This means that the Scheduler

executes the next scheduled event when the SmartServer has been rebooted, the system time has
been changed, or a data point’s priority has been reset at the end of a one-time exception. This
enables the SmartServer to maintain the current value stored in the data point if the data point has
been overridden by another application.

You can select the Suppress Event Recovery check box so that when the SmartServer has been
rebooted, the system time has been changed, or a data point’s priority has been reset at the end of a
one-time exception, the Scheduler will attempt to restore the values and priorities of the selected
input points by searching for the most recent past event and executing it. Ultimately, the
Scheduler exclusively determines the value of each selected input point (as long as it has the
highest priority assigned to the data point).

9. Click Submit.

To open the Scheduler application from an existing Scheduler functional block, follow these steps:

1. Click General if the SmartServer is not already operating in General mode. If the SmartServer is

in Driver mode when you click the functional block, the Setup - LON Functional Block Driver
Web page opens instead of the Scheduler application.

2. Click the Scheduler functional block representing the Scheduler to be opened. The Scheduler:

Configure Web page opens in the application frame to the right.

Selecting Data Points

You can select and configure the input points to be updated by the Event Scheduler application. To
select a data point, follow these steps:

1. Click the data point box on the right side of the Scheduler: Configure Web page.

2. The Scheduler: Data Points Web page opens. Click the data points to be updated by the Event

Scheduler from the SmartServer tree. The selected data points are added to the Web page; any
presets defined for the selected data points are displayed to the right. In addition, references to the
selected data points (

) are added to the bottom of the Scheduler functional block tree, and

references to the Scheduler functional block are added directly below the selected data points
(

).

To update a data point of an external device that is being managed with OpenLNS CT, OpenLNS
tree, or another OpenLNS application, you must first copy the data point from the OpenLNS tree
