e. In the LNS Server property, select the IP address of the OpenLNS Server you added to the
LAN in step b.
f. Enter the User Name and Password for logging into the OpenLNS Server via the LNS Proxy
Web service.
g. The LNS Network dialog opens. In the LNS Network dialog, select the OpenLNS network
database in which the target SmartServer was installed in step 9.
h. The Use OpenLNS Network Interface option is selected and the network interface used for
communication between the OpenLNS Server and the network is listed automatically. Accept
these defaults if the OpenLNS Server is attached to the physical network and you want the
SmartServer to communicate with the devices on the network through the selected network
interface.
i. If Use OpenLNS Network Interface is selected, the Network Management Mode option is
set to OnNet automatically. This means that network changes are propagated to the network
immediately. Click OffNet to store network changes in the selected OpenLNS network
database and propagate them to the network when you place the SmartServer OnNet.
j. Click Submit. The network icon is changed to an LNS Server icon and its names is changed
from “Net” to the name of the network you specified in step g. If you selected LNS Auto in
step d, the SmartServer automatically begins synchronizing its internal database (the
/config/network folder on the SmartServer flash disk) to the OpenLNS network database. If
icons in the network tree are highlighted yellow, it means that the SmartServer’s internal
database is not yet synchronized with the selected OpenLNS network database.
k. When synchronization is done, the icons in the network tree will no longer be highlighted
yellow. If any icons are highlighted yellow or you selected LNS Manual in step d, manually
synchronize the SmartServer to the OpenLNS network database. To do this, click the
Synchronize button in the OpenLNS Network property.
11. Repeat steps 3–10 to copy the SmartServer App device configuration to additional target
SmartServers.
Manually Deploying a Network Configuration on Multiple
SmartServers
You can configure a network on a single source SmartServer and then manually deploy that network
configuration on multiple target SmartServers. Specifically, you can add or copy external devices and
their data points to the source SmartServer, configure the source SmartServer’s built-in applications,
configure your custom apps on the source SmartServer, and create custom Web pages for monitoring
and controlling the external data points and the internal data points on the source SmartServer.
After configuring the source SmartServer, you can make a backup and then copy the backup to one or
more target SmartServers that have been set to the factory default settings. After copying the backup
to a target SmartServer, reboot the target SmartServer, commission the target SmartServer and
synchronize it to an OpenLNS network database (if you are using OpenLNS network management
services [LNS Auto or LNS Manual]), and then logically replace the external devices in the target
SmartServer’s internal network database.
To deploy a network configuration on multiple SmartServers, follow these steps:
1. Copy all the folders in the root directory of the source SmartServer flash disk except for the
alarmLog and data folders to the local drive of your computer, a USB drive, another removable
media, or a shared network drive with read/write permissions.
2. In the config folder of the source SmartServer backup, delete the following folders and files:

license folder (to preserve programmability and IP-852 routing licenses on target
SmartServers).
