Echelon SmartServer 2.2 - Manual (Page 541)

542 Appendix D - Manually Managing and Deploying SmartServers
Introduction
You can manually upgrade, backup/restore, and deploy SmartServers via FTP instead of using the
i.LON AdminServer. You may need to manually manage your SmartServer if you have previously
downgraded it to the i.LON 100 e3 version, as the i.LON AdminServer can only be used on
SmartServers running the Release 4.0 firmware or newer. The following sections describe how to
manually perform the following tasks:
1. Backup the SmartServer firmware.
2. Upgrade the SmartServer firmware.
3. Restore the SmartServer firmware.
4. Copying device templates to a SmartServer.
5. Deploy a pre-configured SmartServer in a single network.
6. Deploy pre-configured SmartServers in multiple networks.
7. Deploy a network configuration on multiple SmartServers.
Manually Backing Up the SmartServer Firmware
You can manually back up the SmartServer firmware via FTP. Regularly back up your SmartServer to
protect your network configuration and your custom SmartServer Web pages. To create a backup of
your SmartServer, follow these steps:
1. Verify that you have the correct user name and password to access your SmartServer via FTP and
that FTP access is enabled on your SmartServer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Right-click the local SmartServer icon, point to Setup, and then click Security on the shortcut
menu. Alternatively, you can click Setup and then click Security. The Setup – Security
Web page opens.
b. In the General property, verify that the FTP/Telnet User Name and FTP/Telnet Password
properties are correct.
c. In the Service property, verify that the Enable FTP check box is selected.
2. In the browser of an FTP client such as Core FPT, WS FTP Pro, and Cute FTP, enter the FTP
URL of your SmartServer (ftp://192.168.1.222, for example).
3. Enter the FTP/Telnet user name and password for accessing your SmartServer via FTP.
4. Copy all the folders in the root directory to the local drive of your computer, a USB drive, another
removable media, or a shared network drive with read/write permissions.
Manually Upgrading the SmartServer Firmware
You can manually upgrade the firmware on your SmartServer via FTP as service packs are made
available for the SmartServer. To upgrade the firmware on your SmartServer to the latest version,
follow these steps (you can use these steps to upgrade SmartServers running the Release 4, 4.01, or
4.02 firmware to the Release 4.06 firmware):
1. Back up the SmartServer firmware via FTP following the steps described in the previous section,
Manually Backing Up the SmartServer Firmware.
2. Verify that you have installed the latest SmartServer firmware to the LonWorks\iLon100\images
folder on your computer. See Installing Echelon SmartServer 2.2 Software in Chapter 2 for more
information.
3. Open the SmartServer images folder. To do this, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Echelon SmartServer Software, and the select SmartServer Images Folder. Alternatively, you
can browse to the file path of the SmartServer image folder, which is
LonWorks\iLon100\images\iLon100 4.<xx> by default, where xx represents the current
SmartServer image.
