Adding an IP-852 Configuration Server to the LAN

If you licensed and activated IP-852 routing on your SmartServer but you are not using the standard
port on the SmartServer for it (1628), you can add an IP-852 Configuration Server to the LAN.
Adding an IP-852 Configuration Server to the LAN enables a SmartServer with IP-852 routing
activated to communicate with other IP-852 devices over a high-performance IP-852 backbone
channel. The other IP-852 devices may include other SmartServers with IP-852 routing licensed,
i.LON 600 IP-852

routers, OpenLNS Servers, LNS Servers, and OpenLNS or LNS tool computers.

Note: If you are using the standard port for IP-852 routing, you can skip this section and use the
IP-852 Configuration Server program to add the SmartServer to an IP-852 channel. The IP-852
Configuration Server stores the configuration of the IP-852 channel, including the IP addresses of all
the IP-852 devices installed on the channel. You will initially configure the IP-852 channel with the
IP-852 Configuration Server, and the IP-852 Configuration Server must be running anytime you
change the configurations of the IP-852 devices on the IP-852 channel. You can run the IP-852
Configuration Server on any computer with access to the IP network containing the IP-852 channel.
The software required to run the IP-852 Configuration Server is included with the SmartServer
software. For more information on the IP-852 Configuration Server and using this program, see the
IP-852 Channel User’s Guide.

To add an IP-852 Configuration Server to the LAN, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the LAN icon, point to Add Host, and then click Server (LNS, Email, Time, IP-852,

WebTarget) on the shortcut menu, or if are you adding the IP-852 Configuration Server to an
existing server on the LAN, skip to step 4.

2. The Setup – Host Web page opens, and a server icon is added one level below the LAN icon at

the bottom of the navigation pane.

3. Enter the IP address or hostname of the IP-852 Configuration Server.

4. Optionally, select Use Connection Timeout and enter the maximum period of time (in seconds)

that the IP-852 Configuration Server waits for a response to a SOAP request from the local
