
Select LNS Manual to have the SmartServer manually synchronize with the selected
OpenLNS network database via the LNS Proxy Web service. In this mode, you can
synchronize the SmartServer with the selected OpenLNS network database by pressing
the Synchronize button in the OpenLNS Network property. This mode does not require
the SmartServer to access to the LNS Proxy Web service port on the OpenLNS Server
computer. Select this mode if a firewall is blocking the SmartServer’s access to the LNS
Proxy Web service port on the OpenLNS Server computer (port 80 by default)..
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 8.
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 the Use OpenLNS Network Interface option is selected, the Network Management
Mode property 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 should no longer highlighted
yellow. If any icons are highlighted yellow or you selected LNS Manual in step d, you need
to manually synchronize the SmartServer to the OpenLNS network database. To do this,
click the Synchronize button in the OpenLNS Network property.
10. Use the SmartServer Web interface to logically replace the external devices in the network tree of
the target SmartServer. See Replacing Devices in Chapter 5 for more information on how to do
this.
11. If you selected LNS Manual mode in step 8, manually synchronize the SmartServer to the
OpenLNS network database to update the OpenLNS network database with the Neuron IDs of the
external devices on the network.
12. If you copied SmartServer custom Web pages to the target SmartServer, open all pages containing
i.LON Vision objects and update the selected data points monitored and controlled by the objects.
Tip: If the i.LON Vision objects in your custom Web pages on the source SmartServer use alias
names, you can skip step 12.
The data points on the SmartServer’s internal App and Virtual devices [iLON App (Internal) and
iLON System (Internal)] have default alias names, with NVL_ and iLON System prefixes,
respectively.
