Echelon SmartServer 2.2 - Manual (Page 67)

68 Configuring and Managing the SmartServer
OpenLNS Servers You must add an OpenLNS Server to the LAN in order to add the data
points of external devices to the SmartServer’s built-in applications and to
your custom SmartServer Web pages. In addition, you need to add an
OpenLNS Server to the LAN in order to keep your local SmartServer
synchronized with an OpenLNS network database and use OpenLNS
network management services to manage the network attached to your
local SmartServer. You can also create Web connections between your
local SmartServer and OpenLNS Servers (called LNS uplink connections).
OpenLNS Servers are represented by LNS Server icons that include the IP
addresses of their respective OpenLNS Servers.
E-mail server You can use an SMTP server to have the SmartServer send e-mail
messages to a technician, maintenance company, or other personnel when
a data point is an alarm condition. You must also add Alarm Generator
and Alarm Notifier functional blocks to the SmartServer’s i.LON App
(Internal) device for the SmartServer to send e-mail notifications.
SMTP servers are represented by a server icon that includes the IP address
or hostname of the server and an SMTP icon listed directly below it.
Time server You can use an SNTP server to synchronize the time and date of the
SmartServer and the other host devices on the LAN to a common base.
SNTP servers are represented by a server icon that includes the IP address
or hostname of the server and an SNTP icon listed directly below it.
IP-852
Configuration
Server You can add an IP-852 Configuration Server to the LAN to enable a
SmartServer with IP-852 routing activated and other IP-852 devices such
as OpenLNS Servers and i.LON 600 L
ON W ORKS /IP servers to
communicate with each other over a high-performance backbone channel.
An IP-852 Configuration Server is represented by an IP-852 server icon
that includes the IP address of the IP-852 Configuration Server.
Note: You only need to add an IP-852 Configuration Server if you do not
plan on using the default port on the SmartServer (1628) used for
receiving messages from the IP-852 Configuration Server.
Web Connection
Target Server You can add an Web Connection Target Server to send data logs, alarm
logs, event scheduler logs, or any user-defined file from your SmartServer
to a central enterprise system via a Web connection (called an enterprise
connection).
Networks You can manage the channels, devices, functional blocks, and data points
on the network attached to your local SmartServer, the networks attached
to remote SmartServers on the LAN, and in the networks in the OpenLNS
Servers on the LAN.
SmartServer
Network By default, the network attached to a SmartServer is represented by the
SmartServer network icon, and it is named Net. Once you synchronize
your SmartServer to an OpenLNS network database, this icon changes to
an OpenLNS network icon (
) and is re-named to the name of the
OpenLNS network database.
OpenLNS network
(Database) By default, the networks in an OpenLNS Server are represented by
OpenLNS network icons that include the names of their respective
OpenLNS network databases. Networks originally created in the
SmartServer tree are represented by SmartServer network icons (
) in
the OpenLNS tree.
